What's something weird, odd, or interesting you've learned today (or this week)? I learned how to open a tin can with a Swiss Army Knife. One doesn't usually stop to check and make sure there's still a can opener in the house before one starts cooking. So, I found myself halfway through making a pot of chili, with no way to open my cans of tomatoes! Then, I remembered that I had a Swiss Army Knife that I found in the parking lot at my old job. So, I figured out how to open my cans army-style, and I have one more useful skill to add to my resume. How about you?

I've learned what you should do when you are by yourself and have a heart attack. I got this email and it said that you are supposed to take very deep breaths and cough over and over again. Coughing keeps the heart beating and blood circulating. Coughing over and over again until help arrives or until you can get yourself to a hospital.
I didn't know that and my aunt just suffered a heart attack yesterday and is on life support. We are praying for her, but I wonder if she had this information would things have been different.
