Today, after walking from bright sunlight into a dark corridor, I noticed for the first time that my watch has luminous hands.

I’ve owned it for three years.

I had no idea the Pillsbury Doughboy was called Poppin’ Fresh

And I say this as someone who has used the phrase “Poppin’ Fresh” before, just because I liked the ridiculous sound of it.

Apparently so!

WHAAAAT?

That’s one of those discussions I’ve had a number of times over the years but I thought last time I checked the French city had nothing to do with them.

Does that mean they’re “neese biskwee”?

Until a minute ago I thought a gnu was a large flightless bird, like an ostrich or an emu :flushed::flushed::flushed:

And when I say ‘thought’, I didn’t have any doubt. My first reaction just now was ‘eh, this crossword clue is wrong’ until I googled it. Guess it’s just the similarity to ‘emu’ but whaaaaaaaat

Off the top of my head I think it’s some kind of goat/antelope thing but chiefly gnu just makes me think of Linux now

I only know this because I grew up next door to a pub called the Gnu (can’t be many of them?) and it had a classic pub sign with a gnu on it.

Just another name for wildebeest, it seems.

Who gnu⁉️
