So, I apologize for skipping a few days. I was debating what to do a bit too much. Part of me was considering bringing up water deer, who are a rather interesting set of deer with fangs. They're also known as vampire deer. I thought it might be fun to tell you all about a living saber-toothed creature, other than walruses, but I was also considering just leaving that alone with the last being the first saber tooth ever. I'm going with that, so no more saber tooths.
I was also considering doing the 12 days of Christmas facts, but things are hectic enough that I don't want to commit myself to that right now. Next year. I'll write up the history of Santa, Saturnalia, candles on Christmas trees, carols with fun histories, how Cardinals got on so many Christmas Cards, and whatever else comes to mind for that.
Right now though, let's talk about something fun.
HTTP is the foundation of the internet in many ways, and is where the well known code 404, file not found, comes from. Well, 418 is 'I'm a Teapot'.
Before you get too confused about this, I'll explain a bit more. So, this was put forth as part of an April Fools thing, but it's also sensical because it refers to the explanation for programs not being able to do things they weren't programed for-- they're teapots, not coffee pots, so don't ask them to make coffee. (Yeah, you can make coffee in a teapot, but that's not what it's supposed to do, so the process needs a bit of alteration.)
So, if someone ever asks you to do something that isn't your job or is beyond what you agreed, remember this and tell them you're a teapot. It might not work, but it's still fun. And if you want to know more, sources are below or you can google things and learn more for yourself.
