Yesterday I Learned: 1) When fishing, you typically want to pick a lure that matches the food that's around in the environment (same color, size, visual texture, etc). That way, the fish will already be on the lookout for that kind of lure and will be more likely to bite it. 2) One of the leading precussionists in the world is virtually deaf*. She plays a variety of precussive instruments, largely things like triangles and xylophones and glockenspiel, and listens to them largely through visual cues (you can see deeper instruments vibrate) and sympathetic vibrations in the body (mostly bones like finger bones, skull, etc). She started going deaf when she was quite young, and worked with her music teacher to listen to her instruments with body parts other than the ear. * sorry, I did not learn her name. 3) Pennywort juice is... really interesting. For one thing, it's turbid. Not opaque, not transparent, not full of visible chunks, but turbid -- there's some kind of invisibly-small particulate matter suspended (not quite permanently) in pennyworth juice that makes it murky. The flavor is... complex. It hits you with a bunch of different flavors, from sweet juiciness to bitter tea-like notes to a really grassy flavor like the scent of cut grass. I like it, but it's definitely not for everyone.
