I read my bible very often. I get new insights and pick up on interesting things from it. That is the only new thing i learn from. I spend most of my time communicating with others, when i am not working a paid job.

Really, you don't try learning from a book on evolution, moral philosophy, cosmology, comparative religion, climate change, human sexuality, or 80's rock? Edit: darn, Boru beat me to it 
There's nothing new in the Bible, just tall tales hijacked from other cultures and retold around camel dung campfires to make the kids a little less depressed at having been born into a tribe of camel jockeys who can't keep hold of a single valley or watershed.
If they could've, they wouldn't have told other people some bullshit about how fairies would get them.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
In the remake of ‘Ocean’s 11’, Julia Roberts was barefoot in virtually every scene in which her feet are not visible. The production company had a product placement deal with a high-end shoe designer, and Roberts claimed the shoes hurt her feet when she walked. Consequently, in nearly every scene in which she’s wearing shoes, she’s either seated or standing still.

Peter Cushing didn't like the boots of his uniform in Star Wars, which is why you rarely see him wearing them. He wore slippers. That's right. Tarkin was wearing slippers when he blew up Alderaan...

Quote:Yes, it does... It is important to be able to correctly pronounce words in any language-- rolling the r's is one of those correct pronunciations.... Sometimes, the rolling of the r's can differentiate words such as:
