TIL that a person can only pull out the Sword in the Stone at Fantasyland (Disney) when there is a light in a window nearby.

http://www.hiddenmickeys.org/disneyland/secrets/fantasy/general.html

"When standing inside the castle looking at the sword in the anvil with the carousel in the background, look up to the right and you'll see a little window with a green light in it. When the wizard comes out for his show look for the light to change red. When it does, the kid pulling on the sword with be the one to move it."

Even though I've only been to Disneyland once, I love checking out these Disneyland "secrets". This one I haven't heard of yet, so I'd thought it be good to post it.

TIL that today, on Friday the 13th, there is a flight to HEL.

Can't really get a source on this one, but it's all over the internet so it should be easy to find.

Today, Flight 666 is going from Copenhagen, Denmark to HEL (that's the airport code for Helsinki, Finland!). What could possibly go wrong?

The boarding pass of reddit user /u/GPilla... what a poor, unfortunate soul.

How to make drop down menus using JQuery

A cool little thing I learned today using JQuery (so I guess this kind of doubles as a TIL as well). You know the drag-down boxes located at some websites? Well, it's easy to do using some JS.

First, set up your html:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
    <head>
    <title>[Title]</title>
        <link rel='stylesheet' type='text/css' href='http://code.jquery.com/ui/1.9.1/themes/base/jquery-ui.css'/>
        <script type='text/javascript' src='script.js'></script>
        <script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.9.1/jquery-ui.min.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
        <div id="menu">
            <h3>[h3]</h3>
            <div>
                <p>[p]</p>
            </div>
            <h3>[h3]</h3>
            <div>
                <p>[p]</p>
            </div>
            <h3>[h3]</h3>
            <div>
                <p>[p] </p>
            </div>
        </div>
</body>
</html>


Most of this should seem pretty elementary to you. Well, the "h3" will be what displays as the "name" dropdown (aka the thing you see before dropping it down) while the <p> text is what follows.

Here's the actual JS:

$(document).ready(function() {
    $("#menu").accordion({collapsible: true, active: false});
});

The function is a pre-made feature inside of JQuery. I just thought it was kinda cool.

TIL & is called an ampersand

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ampersand

The more you know I guess.

I've been thinking of actually making this blog kind of a "Today I Learned" sort of thing, putting the old statement "You learn something new everyday" to the test. I did have this idea before and even though I didn't intend on making it this blog, it still could happen. It kind of goes against the name of the blog though, but that could be changed. Or perhaps just a small side-feature when I don't really have anything else to write? What does my silent audience think?
