It's part game, part something I seriously have to ask. The game: share something that you learned which somewhat blew your mind because you feel you should have realized it before. And that's...pretty much it. xD Share in ignorance! And hey, maybe we'll all learn something new. WHAT I JUST LEARNED: The Tostitos logo is two people eating a chip and salsa. LOOK AT IT:  I seriously never realized this before, and I've eaten Tostitos my whole life. .__. |

Who besides me didn't know that the Other Mothers movie design was based on a spider, a species known for eating their children?  Really should've been obvious with the web. I figured it out today when I was reading the tv tropes for Coraline.  |

^Is that... is that a figurine? You'd have to be a serious nightmare fetishist to buy that.  Anyway, who besides me didn't know that Saix from Kingdom Hearts and the entire Gabumon digivolution line from Digimon Adventure have the same english voice actor? That blew my brains right out of the back of my skull. They're still cleaning up the mess in the computer lab... |

^Is that... is that a figurine? You'd have to be a serious nightmare fetishist to buy that. Yes, the Coraline movie was a stop motion animation movie, and that is the Other Mothers final form. Her "true" form. As far as I know none of them are for sell. |

Ooooh, this sounds fun! Let's see...who besides me didn't know until just now that Will Smith was a rapper? ...yeah, I just found that out. Who besides me didn't know *exactly* what lemon vs. lime vs. citrus meant in fanfics? Oh, and @puzzle: I DIDN'T KNOW THAT AT ALL!!! D: There are definitely more...I'll post them as I think of 'em.  |

...I had no clue that Will Smith was a rapper OR the lemon/lime/citrus classifications. (Although after innocently clicking a lemon one and getting my brain melted I decided to just avoid any fic with a food connotation. xD)

^ I'm fairly sure lemon means sex. So when someone puts a warning about 'lemons' they're warning you of sex |D
...It took me a while to get it when I was younger. Still not sure about limes/citrus though I'm sure it's something similar.

^ Yeah, I established that pretty quickly. xDD I think the limes and citrus are similar; they're more specific to what sort of sex is happening or something. Iuuno, I don't write PWP so I never had to learn those classifications...

I didn't know about the lemon thing either. I was I think eleven when I started reading fanfiction. And I remember the first lemon I read was a Mario Brothers where Luigi and Mario having a threesom with Peach.
I was scared for life.

@ Puzzle: I'm not quite sure when I found out what lemons mean, but I didn't learn about the term limes until after I stopped writing fanfic (which is something I hope to start up again, if I can only find my damned muse) but citrus is still new to me. I'm not sure I want to know what they man exactly, actuall ;w;
@ Mina: D: That...that is a terrifying introduction to lemons, especially around that age.

I still don't know what they mean, and I don't care. If there's any hint of the word "lemon" in the summary, I don't click on it. It's always shit. Remember, kids: PWP's are bad! |

@ Mina; that truly is a horrific experience. My heart goes out to you, bro.
I didn't know that the Alphabet song is the same tune as Twinkle Twinkle Little Star until someone pointed it out to me. I was like WHAT IS THIS I DON'T EVEN

I was like WHAT IS THIS I DON'T EVEN I didn't know that Ba Ba Black Sheep is also in the same tune as Twinkle Little Star and the Alphabet Song. Until you pointed it out and I looked it up on wikipedia, and it said all three songs have the same tune. |

....um. I still don't know what PWP means.
Oh, and it took me forever to understand what OTP means too!
