We're all fairly intelligent here in The Lounge, I think...but we all have something we're probably embarrassed to admit we don't know.

Maybe you're bad at geography and think that London is a country, like a friend of mine does.

Maybe you're an American and can't name the three Executive Branches of the U.S. government (my brother can't)

Here's mine:

Until recently, I had no idea that prunes are dried plums. I just assumed they were completely different fruits! [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]

And before some smart-ass says anything, yes I know that raisins are dried grapes!

So what's yours?

When I buy a new computer, I have to call tech support to ask how to turn it on.

My friend has an Apple that I have mashed my brain trying to turn on. He is glad to know that his information is secure when I am around.

And Katy then had to try and walk me through that whole process that diebitter posted in the Jackson Pollock thread.
Sadly it was not working, so Utah came along online (he's in Siberia) and walked me through. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

I once thought that for "all intents and purposes" was for "all intensive purposes"
