Other mistakes

As long as I’m fessing up to naming the wrong network for Lucky, I should confess to purveying some other information.

  • One does not make peanut butter my mixing peanuts and butter. That was some misinformation spread to me via Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood, and by that time, I should have known better. In fact, I think I did know better, having already read a bio of George Washington Carver by that time. But I trusted Mister Rogers to know what he was speaking about. Being earnest should not be confused with being informed. (Even if I did know the truth about peanut butter, however, this did lead me to experiment with tasty mixtures of peanut butter and real butter. Does it come as any surprise that 3 decades later I needed diet, exercise, and medication to shape up my heart?)
  • The capital of Papua New Guinea is not three dollars and fifty-seven cents. Actually, Papua New Guinea has three capitals, P, N, and G.
  • Despite my boastful claims to the contrary, I did not put the ram in the rama-lama-ding-dong.

    I shall strive to be more accurate in the future.
