...that the mountain range that runs down the Pacific Coast of North America, from Canada down to California, is called the Cascades.

I discovered this reading in one of my little girls books, I think it may be where Rip Van Winkle went to sleep. 

 

Edit: it was the Catskill Mountains.

Today, at the ripe age of 29, I learned that the word “kneeling” comes from the word “knee”.

Please tell me I’m not the only one!

What the hell are you talking about there?

Believe me, I completely understand your bewilderment. I’m genuinely stunned how I’ve never made the connection.

My girlfriend said her knee was bruised from kneeling in the garden yesterday, and I made a joke along the lines of “wahey, I get it, your knees are bruised because you were KNEEling”, and only then it clicked.

I’m laughing just typing it out because of the ridiculousness of it.
