I know things now. Many valuable things. That I hadn't known before. I know now not to put my faith in a cape and hood (because they will not protect me the way that they should). And that I should take extra care with strangers and even flowers have their dangers and even though scary is exciting- nice is different than good. Now I am smart!

I was the only kid who got the capitol of Argentina right in the 7th grade geography bee...Thanks Evita
I learned what AIDS stands for because of RENT.

Am I the only one who gets really excited when they have a Broadway category on Jeopardy? There was one about George Gershwin the other night.

I learned a greatly useful German word... and how to spell it.

S-C-H-A-D-E-N-F-R-E-U-D-E!

this is not exactly what i learned, but i find it amusing.

i sat in physics today and decided: "i will try to connect something in every class to a broadway lyric."

the next sentence, my physics teacher says: "and then the bungee jumper something something" and i sang to myself: "i love mr. bungee i love mr. bungee i love mr. bungee!!!"

it was just good timing. wow, the story is a lot dumber after i typed it out.

ashley, you forgot something very important - there are giants in the sky! I wish I didn't know that.

All crack addled late stage HIV suffering teen strippers with glitter in their hair come back to life after the first time they pass away.

Candlesticks, dishwashers, and clocks can talk, but my theory is that its only when no one's looking.

The Wicked Witch of the West didn't have to actually ride her broom... that's too phallic. All she has to do is hold it, and she can vertically hover to the top floor of any two story building.

Jackie Mason is way funnier when being played by Lew Stadlen.

There are homer-sexhuls in baseball, but no crying.

If you are ever stuck on a rotating stage, if you take one step to the left for every step forward you will never bloody get anywhere.

Kitties have breasts and big packages when you put them in lycra.

The bars on prisons in days of yore were spaced far enough apart for any person of athletic build to squeeze right through.

Um in this Spanish exam they asked something about which cities was in Argentina, and Buenos Aires was a choice. Evita!

I was also going to say S-C-H-A-D-E-N-F-R-E-U-D-E: German for "happiness at the misfortune of others."

But seriously, folks...

1776 = Most Educational Show Ever. Not only do I know that's Caesar Rodney (and not Paul Revere!) on the Delaware Quarter, I know who Caesar Rodney is and why he was important enough to rate a State Quarter.
