I Think I'm Not Smarter Than a Fifth-Grader

My cousin asked me what the 7 continents of Earth were. I said it was an easy homework and confidently recited these names: Asia, Europe, Africa, N. America, S. America, Antarctica & Arctica.

And he was like... "ARCTICA?! You sure? Isn't it just Arctic?"

I said, "Duh! I've read a trivia once that says all the continents have the same first and last letters... minus the South & North of America. So it has to be Arctica."

We checked it on the net and I was really dumbfounded.

There was no Arctica! It wasn't also Artic!

HOW IN GOD'S NAME I'VE FORGOTTEN ABOUT AUSTRALIA?! HAHAHAHA.

I don't remember kung kelan nagsimulang maging bahagi ng academic life ko ang salitang haggard. I don't remember kung kelan ko sinimulang sagutin ang tanong na "Kumusta ka na?" ng "Eto, haggard!"

Ikaw? Haggard mode ka? Lilipas din 'yan. Eh siya nga eh, araw-araw sa buhay niya, haggard siya. Meet Mr. Haggard. =)
