Well, it's easy enough to say it. But to fully power an average house, it would cost about $20,000. That's a really pretty penny. The nice thing is that you don't ever have to pay for fuel, though. Just occasional maintenance costs. Sure, but it's kinda' hard to find the $20,000 to start with. If, say, your electric bill is $200 a month, that's 100 months, or 8 years, before the solar panels will pay off. That's hard to justify when that $20,000 can buy you a brand new car with money to spare. Not saying solar panels are a bad thing. I'd love to put them in my future hypothetical house. They just gotta' find a way to produce them cheaper before it's our worldwide energy solution.

Mm, s'pose so.
Today I learned that a meadow isn't what I always thought it was. I also learned what the "the gloaming" is. =D

Tamia: What is a gloaming? Today I learned how search warrants work, the rules for search and seizure, and what sorts of searches do not require a warrant.

Ohhh, that's awesome. 8D
And it makes me lol because "The Legend of Zelda: Gloaming Princess" doesn't have as catchy a name. XDDDDD

Today I learned a thing or two about how to make proper comics. Hopefully I'll be able to improve, now!

Well, today I was writing a PM and I happened to look at my icon and underneath it I saw this little pixel house and I was like "WHAT IS THAT, IS IT A NEW BADGE?"
but in the end it was just the link to my homepage... oh.

Today I learned that Being John Malkovich is a really weird movie. But good if you like those really strange offbeat movies.

I have discovered that roleplaying (/starting the Knightly roleplay) gives me more of a sense of accomplishment that doing (and finishing) homework.

I learned that Argentavis magnificens is quite easily one of the most breathtaking animals I have ever heard of, and I am quite disappointed that I haven't heard of it before. And also, the Irish Elk. ... *creature-building brainwave overload* *brain sizzles gently*

And also, the Irish Elk. ... *creature-building brainwave overload* *brain sizzles gently* Today, just now, I learnt that there is/was a such thing as an Argentavis magnificens. I also learnt that finding surface area isn't as hard as it looks, and that the original Sherlock Holmes stories were very funny and very interesting, and I now know why everyone makes so much of them. =D
