Date: 2008-07-01 01:26 pm (UTC)We also have a game show called Are You Smarter Than A Fifth Grader? They ask about things you should have learned in grade school. Thing is most of these you might have forgotten since you don't use them as an adult. Really makes you feel stupid.
I have one of those minds that stores trivia, but can't spell for anything. Thank goodness for spell check. Problem is if it is a word spelled correctly, but isn't the word you wanted to use it doesn't figure that out.
