A Clarification

Mostly for my own sake, may I please clarify:

This blog is just a barely-significant record of things I learn so that I don't feel like my brain is a total waste. I will not go to great lengths to give credit to sources from whence things were learned. I will not go to great lengths to verify facts or knowledge gained. I may post a source, but it will probably be for my own information and not for others' peace of mind.

I like learning things and this is my way of making it a bit of a hobby. 

The Qur'an

Today I spent a good deal of time reading from The Qur'an as well as the Hadith and I'm not sure what I learned... only that I'm not impressed.

Ich lüge nicht!

Today I learned the German word 'lügen'. It means 'to lie'...as in 'liar, liar pants on fire.'

Maybe I'll learn how to say that next.

Source: German-speaking sisters can come in handy for these types of things.
And just to make sure I was spelling it right, I checked in the Larouse German-English Mini Dictionary Copyright 1999.
How does the saying go? Is it you do learn something new every day or that you should learn something new every day?

Either way, I feel like my brain cells are slowly dying off and I really ought to do something about it. I'm determined to learn something. And in order to feel some accountability, I will post my learnings here.

So, raise your glass to a new blog. (That's all the world needs...)
