What did you learn at an embarassingly late age?
I just saw this on that "I have read it" site: "I didn't realize you were supposed to chew sunflower seeds to get the seed inside... I thought you just ate the black seeds whole..."
And I am agog. Is that what you're supposed to do? Or do we get them de-shelled over here?
Care to admit to anything you didn't know until far later than you should have?

I'm failing to see the difference, did the person not chew them before and just swallowed whole seeds?
Oh, and probably that identical twin thing, although it was something I just had not considered before.

Babies aren't delivered by Storks.
It does make sense, their lack of opposable thumbs makes things awkward in terms of the delivery, and their beaks are only really useful for breaking the water.

This little piggy went to the slaughterhouse
This little piggy still needed fattening up before he was killed to make yummy bacon.
This little piggy had offal by products from the TB infected cattle in the next field.
This little piggy was the runt of the litter and was left to die.
This little piggy pissed himself out of fear, having realised that he was fucked no matter what happens to him.

when my great grandmother died, some of the guests at the funeral asked my grandmother where the reception was
"at the towerhouse," she said (small restaurant in halifax).
they never turned up.
months later, she bumped into them. after a bit of embarrassment, they worked out that the guests had heard "t'our house" and had gone to their home, only to find it empty... with no mobile phones, they'd waited around for a bit, and then left.
