I Did Not Know That ....

Today I learnt summit ..I always thought Harper Lee was a male author .You know To kill a mockingbird .Just assumed so never asked ,Wondering was there ever a piece of information Abbers just thought and later found out it was not so

[erin-x]

Well I thought that Harper Lee was a man as well!!

When I was wee, I thought that Mow-a-Meadow was a place (as in 'One Man Went to Mow....)

, the male drone's genitals explode. He then falls to the ground and dies


Wot !.

[mrs_overall]

tony, yes. When Mr O's 90,000 bees were found dead this week he was explaining that the queen probably didn't mate last year and then explained about the mating rituals of honey bees.
Fascinating.
God forgive me but I googled it to confirm it as I wasn't sure he was being serious

[Mammar]

That explains my ex- husband then, Tone, only he didn't die

[tonyav]

Bloody hell, glad I'm not a bee.
Mmmmmm, exploding balls, got to be a joke in there somewhere.

[DTCwordfan]

Lorena Bobbit is therefore related to a queen bee, mrs o?

It's a bit surprising when you find that out, also, it was written in 1961, feels older than that!

Incidentally, for years I thought Richmal Crompton who wrote the Just William stories was a man, till I learnt otherwise

[DaisyNonna]

headwreck, is that why so many men are now firing blanks?

[Sharingan]

When I was little I thought that George Elliot was genuinely a man since the Bronte sisters male pens names have since mostly been dropped. It was a real surprise when I found out she was really called Mary Anne Evans.

Ididnt know the pope was a catholic

[tonyav]

And I didn't know that bears pooped in the woods.

I used to think that Anglesey was the Isle of Man, good job I never went to the TT.
