Emilio Estevez is Martin Sheen's son!?!

Mind blown :eek:

his father changed his own surname when he started acting to sound less 'ethnic', but Emilio kept his real surname and wanted to try make it on his own, while Charlie also used 'Sheen' and that name opened up more doors for him

Mayonaisse is made from eggs. Who knew?

I think this thread has evolved from "Really obvious thing you have only realised" to "Trivial piece of information that only a minority might possibly be aware of"!:)

Remember seeing ads for 'King Gee' when they used to show Australian Rules on RTE about 20-25 years ago. Always a laugh!

Pasta and Paté both mean paste.
I would have assumed the Paté one but Pasta?

It's a loose connection. The Italian word for paste is 'un impasto'.

I didn't know there was a "l" in vulnerable always thought it was "vunerable"

Also I learnt that Africa is not a country it's a continent and I thought all the other places inside were like counties/states I found this out watching Educating Joey Essex .

Galician actually from Spain. Must have been a Spanish product I bought. I assumed it was Spanish, English and Italian.

Pasta Dentífrica
Toothpaste
Paté Dentifrice

Anyway my point stands in that pasta means paste or is derived from the word paste.

I just realised that when you post here you better have all your facts correct or you will end up researching Spanish dialects and the roots of words in latin.

I only realised towards the end of season one why The Wire is called what it is. I thought something ridiculous like "down to the wire", the whole show and opening credit montage is about wire taps.

I'm starting to think that the only thing for it is another Mass.
