What's the (insert superlative term) thing you learned from the Interwebs?

Lest this post is in the vain of famous last words, I am absolutely gobsmacked that I was able to change the brakes on my vehicle this weekend myself. This new found skill was imparted to me via a few instructional videos on YouTube. Some of the videos I watched were made by certified technicians and were quite good. But the one that really gave me the confidence to give it a whirl was this video made by an unassuming, fatherly, backyard mechanic named Stephan, and (I assume) his kids. The video has a certain charm and is worth watching even if you aren't planning a DIY brake job. And it is funny... putting bald tires back on the vehicle after such a touchy repair as brakes was somehow endearing all on its own. Remember to chock those wheels! So what is the ___________ (coolest, most/least useful, craziest, etc) thing you learned from the Interwebs?
