Here's a random list of things
I want to know:

I can answer a couple of these.
On cats - they bite as a sign of affection, plus they are evil demons bent on world domination, so biting.
Tessalon perles - BUWAHAHAHAHAHA!!! I think they're actually just placebo.
People hating people - well, up till now there's no evidence that's going to change so I predict a continuation of this trend.
BEcause... Nickleback suck.... kind of answers all your questions, really.
OK is actually short for oll korrect, from an era where bad spelling was the in thing to do. It's since been shortened to O.K., OK, ok, and finally spelled phonetically as okay. All of which are oll korrect to use. ;)
The reason cats bite when being pet is not well understood. It's called petting induced aggression, and it has about three possible reasons. It's not the "cats bite when pet because they love you", and that doesn't really make sense. It could be because the cats are trying to control the situation, so it could be a form of status induced aggression. It could be that the cats get over stimulated from being pet for a certain length of time, or for some reason they get a negative stimulus from it. And lastly it could be because their own behavior changes but it changes in such a subtle way that people generally miss the sign until it's so late. They could be saying "I'm unhappy with this" and we're saying "aww cute kitty" until they are "I can't hack this anymore!" CHOMP. But yeah, it's not because they love you.
OK, now for OK! I won't get into how OK came to be, but OK written that way preceded okay by a long time, at least 100 years. People may have started to write okay because it looked more like a word than the abbreviation it was. Either way is considered correct, but OK was the original way. Okay is useful for writing "He okayed the deal." and "They were busy okaying it." and "She is the one who okays these requests." To utterly overwhelm you there's a book written about the word (link below) but here's a blog post that you'd probably be happier reading as to the most accepted explanation of OK etymology https://stancarey.wordpress.com/2012/07/31/oke-is-ok/

And now you can cross off two of those questions, answered by someone who had similar questions and found answers for them!
And about hamburger it's because it originate from Hamburg in Germany.
Newer technology can support 7 bluetooth devices simultaneously (12 can be paired). Older technology appears to just be one at a time.
Maybe your parents didn't know you wanted piano lessons? I recently purchased eMedia Piano & Keyboard Method on Amazon. It's affordable software (or is it called an app now?) that I immediately downloaded to my laptop for decent introductory piano lessons without having to leave the house. I can just set my laptop on top of the piano, or plug it into my electric piano to get feedback on what I'm doing right/wrong. I figure by the time I finish all the lessons in this program, I'll know whether or not I want/need to find a 3D teacher.
I try to avoid the pharmacy on Mondays, and wait until Tues or Wed. If it would be better, I can switch to calling on Sunday and picking up on Tuesday.
T.P. are the only thing work for me when I bronchitis or PNA!
