I've learned and forgotten so much, but somehow information that falls into these categories has stuck with me. I would totally win Jeopardy, fifteen million dollars, and the love of Alex Trebec if all I had to to was answer questions about these things:

1. TLC's What Not To Wear shopping rules
2. Bars in State College
3. Knitting pattern symbols
4. Candy
5. Alice Munro short stories about Canadian women in the early 20th century
6. Jewel songs
7. High school marching band
