I am 37 and just figured out about 7 months ago that banana is not spelled BANNANA - thanks to pop singing
And I now know what salient means.
And I thought commencement meant "end".
and I have a high gpa
In the interest of boredom and mental expansion.....what new things have you learned?

Yeah, probably the same Home Depot gal who made me a key "Yeah! I can make you a spare house key!

And I get a call from my dog sitter while I'm waiting in line to board the plane "hi I'm at your home, the key won't work, won't turn and won't come OUT of the lock
"
Yeah, that Home Depot.

When I was in 6th grade I learned that Warshington didn't really have an R in it.
I'm always clueless when it comes to popular culture. I plead total ignorance when people talk about movies, singers, celebrities. And I don't really know what Pilates are either (some kind of exercise, right?). Is it pronounces like "pilot" or something else?Oil is good, grease is better.

I was writing a report the other night and had to look up the word "forward". As in please forward this report. It just wasn't there. Is there an R somewhere? A true blond moment.

Because "I'm going to do pilates" sounds a LOT better than "I'm going to do Joe." Originally Posted by Trek420
