Icy Naj Day 29 - Over to You

It was always a risk that I'd get too busy to write a journal. I had planned to do another quiz today, then do a retrospective tomorrow, but I ran out of time. So here's the retrospective. I'll see what inspires me tomorrow.

Ten things I learned from your responses to my November journal entries:
The Maya used cocoa beans as money
Pebblederook intends to take part in 'Spamuary' - in which he will flood his friends with bad jokes, stupid videos, and pictures of cute dogs dressed as humans.
Asteroid Lil may be descended from Great Jack, the 17th Century highwayman; Amy is a 5th cousin of Jesse James; and one of Robbie Stamp's ancestors forged French pistols.
The word 'burglariously' exists in the English language.
Turner's paintings look odd because he used substandard red paint, which has since vanished.
If you're a COBOL/VME programmer and you type in "God", it returns "God does not exist".
Aggressive cyclists suffer fewer accidents.
Geordies have a 'Reet Slow' roadsign.
'Shorn' is a perfectly cromulent word.
Bluebottle's favourite moment of the hitchhiker radio series is the 'Share and Enjoy' song.

I learned things from your quizzes, although I can't remember what they are now. 
You came up with some great esoteric websites. I have extraordinarily high expectations for tomorrow's journal.

So, did I really succeed in teaching Icy two things? Good.
