    Right now I'm trying to fully understand cognitive dissonance. I must have heard that somewhere on TV too

    Your whole post gave me weird flash backs to college. I must take a nap now, I am fatigued.

    I was in my 30's when I discovered that silos at dairy farms were not used for storing milk.

    It seems to me that about 1/3 of all new made keys these days don't work, so I always check new keys immediately when I get home.

    I used to think seals (the kind that swim in the ocean) were made of rubber. But I was 4 years old.

    all the best mnemonics appeal to our prurient interests.

    After 25 years, I can still do cranial nerves, too.

    Keys from my local hardware stores always work. Maybe they spring for better machines, maybe it's just the operators spend more time and attention on them. But that's one thing I'll go there first for, no matter how many things I need from the big box store that the LHS doesn't stock.

    It took me years to come up with a mnemonic to remember which pole of a battery to disconnect first from the charger. It's still a pretty lame one (pLus Loosens Last - best I could do), but I absolutely could not remember that without a mnemonic, no matter how many times I did it.
