Oh god, I actually snorted at that one.

I know how many minutes there are in a year. I know how to pronounce the name of the guy who killed President McKinley.

I know all about things now, like how not to get a man (with a gun), how it's hard to say no (and I cain't) and such like.

--Learned how many minutes there were in a year
--Learned how to spell Oklahoma
--Learned the story of Joseph..and his brothers, ect.
--Learned about the French revolution
--Learned enough about Hitler and WWII to pass an honors history essay about Hitler's rise to power

in history class we made up a song: Massachusetts sung to the tune of oklahoma, now we know how to spell

Oh man, I can name about a zillion musicals...
1776
The King and I
Oklahoma
Ragtime (CD, synopsis and part of script only, but still...)
The Sound of Music
Rent
Les Miserables
Evita
Miss Saigon
Showboat (what little I know of it)
Anything Goes (think of the song "Anything Goes"... it talks about the changing ways of society/culture in the 1920s)

I was also in a "politically correct" minstrel show and a melodrama one summer, so musical theatre has taught me about entertainment in the late 1800s/early 1900s... enough so I could write an extra credit report in eighth grade social studies that got me an A+ and a special award :)

Hooray for Broadway's Educational-ness!

Cats taught me that my cat is actually a person.

I got more sex education from listening to RENT than anything they were teaching me in middle school.
