Post things that it took you way too long to figure out.
EXAMPLE: I just figured out that the three birds from the first Pokemon games have little clues hidden in their names. Articuno(Arctic/One) Zapdos(Electricity/two) Moltres(Molten/three) |

after the fifth or so time of watching "meet the fockers" i realized
that jack was calling pam his "pamcake", not "pancake". as soon as i
realized that, it suddenly made much more sense when she called him
"flap-jack".

On MEATBALLS ll when the kid met the alien and said "me Ted" then asked his name, the alien repeated "me Ted". The kid thought he said "Meathead" thus his new name for the summer.

I figured that one out a while ago. Actually almost all the pokemon have little names like that Charmander (char/fire and salamander) Bulbasaur (he has a flower bulb on his back and dinosaur) Squirtle (water squirting turtle) and my favorites from back in the day... Scyther (he has scythes on his hands) Espeon (ESP because it's a psychic one) I could go on and on but I think my inner nerd has spoken enough. |

Well there was one named just "Mew", and I believe Mewtwo was either a clone or some sort of genetically engineered version of Mew, hence Mewtwo. |

When I was in my 20's I finally figured out that 65 m.p.h. meant that when you drive 65 m.p.h. and you have about 65 miles left to go on your trip, you'll be there in about one hour. What a shocker! I am 48. So if I took time to post all the other things it took me way to long to (finally) figure out I'd never leave my computer! But I do like being my age for the wisdom. I just wish I had my 20's body and mind with it. As Rita Rudner says in her new book: I Still Have It. I Just Can't Remember Where I PUT It!

When I saw the start of this post, I had these flashes of things come to me, and by the time I got to here, I had forgotten them already...which is typical of me. But I do remember one because it's very recent and was sent to me in email! This is one of those forehead-slapping "duh" moments for a lot of people. At the ends of a box of aluminum foil, plastic wrap, or wax paper, there are little punch-in holes which, when punched in, keep the rolls from falling out of the box when you tear the stuff off! They're on almost all of those things. I felt like an idiot when I got that email and went to check, and sure enough, there they were! I really think they should mention this in their advertising--it's a selling point!

For many years when I was a child, I'd see the phrase "Harmful or fatal if swallowed" as "Harmful or fattal if swallowed" - note the short "a" in the bold word.
I pronounced it like you would pronounce the word "cattle".

It took me almost 30 years to figure out that one of the lines of Goodbye Yellow Brick Road is "Where the dogs of society howl".
I didn't find it from a lyrics website, it came to me while hearing the song.
I was like, Oooh that's what he's saying.

I love that entire record from Elton John, I have "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" on vinyl and CD. There are so many songs out there that take me a while to figure out what the words are, then I just break down and look the lyrics up.

I mentioned this in another thread, but...
I discovered not too long ago that I could get rid of all the stuff at the top of my computer screen by hitting F11. Hit it again and it comes back. Makes a difference when you have a 17" monitor.

Took me several years to figure out Bruce Springsteen was singing "Tenth Avenue Freeze Out" & not "Tent Devil Will They Freak Out?"

Cloud the cat likes to walk on the keyboard and perform this trick for me! She's also been calling out for 'Help' lately (F1).

MrsHill, I've been meaning to tell you that my cat Minnie just loves to watch your kitty run across the bottom of your posts! She used to try and attack it, but since she's a little older now, she'll just sit and move her head following it across the screen.
