Question Things that make you go hmmm...

(sadly, a lot of the younger crowd here won't get the title's musical reference)

So here's another starter thread... As we all know, you never stop learning. Even things that you think you should have known you find yourself finding out more and more each day. So, did you learn something today? I'm not talking about major accomplishments of learning and studying, but of that little trivia, the minutae in life in life where you find yourself saying "Huh. I didn't know that".

Starting off...

Berries. I thought I knew what a berry was and wasn't. I was wrong. I was eating some yogurt from Fresh & Easy that had mixed berries and granola. It had grapes. I didn't think grapes were berries. I was wrong. Did you know these are berries as well?
  • Avacado
  • Pumpkin
  • Banana
  • Persimmon
  • Tomato
  • Watermelon

Also, citrus like the orange , kumquat and lemon are "modified berries".

What's NOT a berry?
  • Strawberry
  • Cherry
  • Peach
  • Plum

As I said; Things that make you go hmmm...

I do not like kumquats. I really wish I did. What a convenient little fruit.

Today I learned a bunch of crap about the British royal family that made me go, "Hhhmm." And scratch my head.

I don't want to explain anything in the worry that I misunderstood. I really do NOT understand how the monarchy works.
One of the things I found interesting was the Queen's birthday being celebrated not on her birthday, and now that is apparently a tradition in the monarchy. They prefer to celebrate in the summer.
I'm not explaining this well, and for that you can thank Ambien.

Every morning I wake up I say Hmm... That's interesting in itself.
