to have only just realised that the logo...

[postmanpatscat]

for BlackBerry is actually two overlapping Bs and not the cluster of dots I've assumed it to be for the past five years of BlackBerry ownership?!

What blindingly obvious things have you failed to notice?

[CuppaSarah]

I thought it was a cluster of berries.

[Bowlersarm]

I knew that!

What I didn't know until yesterday after years of driving, is that the roundabout road sign isn't a closed circle-there is a gap in it.

I thought sprouts grew individually like cabbages in rows. My dad pointed out a sprout bush in the garden and i was...oh.

It blew my mind when I saw pictures of pineapples growing, and then I felt very silly that I didn't know before that they don't grow on trees like coconuts.

[CrowsLanding]

Pineapples don't grow on trees?

[SmiteYouWithThunderbolts]

Where do pineapples grow then?!

[catgirl1976]

Totally gobsmacked about the pineapples

Sometimes, sometimes not. They mean different things.

[Alibabaandthe40nappies]

Pineapples grow in the ground.

I know this from Bob the Builder

That a dual carriageway is defined by a road that has a physical barrier separating the two opposing flows of traffic, be this a grass verge, railings, a kerbed pavement down the centre etc. thereby meaning two separated carriageways and not just two lanes of traffic in each direction.

Google images of growing pineapples, they don't look how you'd imagine at all.

Pineapples grow like cabbages. Have seen fields and fields of them in Queensland. I always thought that the kiwi (bird) was the same size as a kiwifruit. Really surprised when i saw one - big fluffy thing.

[mrsjay]

I thought A kiwi bird was named after the fruit apparently it is a mowri word

[RinkyDinkyDoo]

Omg,just googled pineapples. Wow,we'll that's something myself and DH have learned today,they don't grow on trees.

[mrsjay]

I didnt know the Nile went all through a lot of Africa I assumed it was just in Egypt

[Auntlinny]

Yep - the kiwi fruit was named as some sort of marketing ploy by the growers/ exporters. Used to be called Chinese gooseberries apparently.

[MorrisZapp]

It's not that obvious I suppose but here goes. Martin Short the American actor is the cousin of Claire Short the UK politician.

[Hashtagwhatever]

I still cannot see the b's

[Nerfmother]

I knew about pineapples from being obsessed with Elvis and Blue Hawaii when I was little.

[LongGoneBeforeDaylight]

I thought the batman logo was a yellow mouth with big teeth. Only realised it was a bat last year.

[workhouse]

Iv'e just recently found out, from a thread on Mumsnet, that a fortnight is a shortened version of fourteen nights. How did I get to fifty five without realising this!

[DowntonTrout]

Most things we call nuts are not nuts. They are either legumes or drupes.

So peanuts, walnuts, cashew, brazil nuts etc are not nuts.

Hazelnuts, Acorns and chestnuts are nuts.

[MrsCosmopilite]

Does nobody watch QI?! :)
