    And if you triple click, it highlights the entire paragraph.

    What happens if you quadruple click?
    Does it blow up the internet?

    I don't know how obvious this was to anyone else but I heard on tv earlier that there are only two words in the english language that end in "gry" -

    angry and hungry.
    Oh realgry?

    I have to cheat. It's not a recent thing.

    For years I thought Alex Ferguson and Duncan Ferguson were father and son. Pair of scumbags, same name and both Scots.

    Breakfast (literally meaning to break the fasting period of the prior night) is the first meal taken after rising from a night's sleep

    Well this is actually really embarrassing. I recently realised that the month February has two R's. I always thought it was Febuary. My birthday is in February :/

    I was sure Bobby and Bryan Robson were father and son up until about the time Sir Bobby died.

    *looks at carton of orange juice to verify there's no 'u', can't be right surely!*


    Well, that was a real "when you see it..." moment! :|

    I'd always read it just as "squeeze", squeezed oranges like :o

    Not really that obvious but was interesting all the same........Just watched an episode of Friends where they come back from Barbados, Mike & phoebe get back together. But Mike decides to break it off with his current girlfriend, Precious, who ends up at his apartment with Phoebe, who tells Precious that her & Mike are back together and engaged........Precious breaks down and says "This is the worst birthday ever".

    Forward on years later to another sitcom, How I Met Your Mother.......Ted breaks up with a girl, Natalie, over her answering machine...on her birthday. But gets back with her a few years later only to realise shes not right for him and breaks up with her in a Restaurant....on her BIRTHDAY again, where she proceeds to kick his ass.

    Both Natalie from HIMYM and Precious form Friends are played by the same person, Anne Dudek .
    Surely thats not just a coincidence :P

    I had thought that MILF was an acronym for Middle Income Large Family.
    Seems applicable for those ladies I've seen on the interwebs .... :p

    That by holding down ctrl and selecting several sheets you can amend several Excel spread-sheets all at once. Horrified to think of the hours I wasted going into each sheet and changing each sheet individually. : (

    That reminds me, didn't Phoebe have a twin sister who also played the same character in another sitcom?

    Bunch of friends from New York, aslways hang out at the same place (mc Clarens/Central Perk), ones a ladies man (Joey/Barney), the other has a fairly boring job by their standards (Ross/Ted), 2 of them get married (Chandler Monica/potentially Barney & Robin)
    I'm sure there is way more coincidental incidents :)
