Depression, when combined with a good broadband connection allows for a lot of time to learn things, I’ll admit. In the past hour I’ve learned a great deal about penguins, the commonness of homosexuality in the animal kingdom, Sjogren’s Syndrome, Spontaneous Human Combustion, the fall of Pompeii, super-volcanoes and the Greek origins of common English words. Did you know the word ‘telephone’ comes from the Greek words for sound (phon) and far away (tele)? You didn’t? Well, now you do.
