I have attempted to organize knowledge in the most precise categories possible.
- Things easily understood
- Things understood but not correctly
- Things assumed but not investigated
- Things known to squirrels but not deer
- Things known to birds but not fish
- Things you were told and believed
- Self-discovered truths
- Things known to women but not men
- Things known only in sleep
- Things known not requiring comprehension
- Things understood well enough to get by
- Things known when the house is on fire

Erm, I was so busy learning the rest of this, that me house burnt down by the time I got to that line of 'things known!' Doh! heehee.
Good fun, certainly raised a laugh in me.... more please.
"Things" are important in our lives and we all have our own view of which are important, that is what makes us unique, if we were all the same life would be boring.
