  7. Just when I was feeling happy about the White House Correspondents Dinner, #TIL #TodayILearned that there is 900 page document Trump is working from to completely #dismantle the #government.

    I think I had heard about the document before, but I didn’t realize the detail, nor that #Trump uses it for much of his policy.

  8. #Today I learned that "pixel" is actually short for "Picture Element."

    Pix El

    And when you break it up as Pix El, it sounds like Superman's Kryptonian cousin who was a photographer for a newspaper in the Bottle City of Kandor.

  9. #TIL I should remember to clear the whiteboard between students.

    Had my youngest student today question what the term 'pseudo-penis' was.

    Told them it was above their pay grade and was able to distract them with the trumpets I had brought for today's double lesson.
