Some things that confuddle me --

1. Where is Cagayan Valley and where is Cagayan de Oro? (And where is Dave G from? ^_^)

2. What's the difference between purple, violet and indigo? (Discovered that I didn't know this one when Seth and I were learning about colors.) In line with this, why do some oranges look like red but are called orange and why do some reds look like orange but we call them red? (Again, this is poring through Colors picture books.)

3. Considering that it's only one nut per fruit and seeing the abundance of cashew products in the supermarket, are there really that many Cashew trees? (Some of the mystery of the cashew has been debunked for me by Andrew Zimmern when he visited Thailand.)

4. What is barbecue? (We recently saw an episode of Barbecue Paradise on Discovery: Travel and Living and it's very different from what we do.)

5. Which goes first: the end quote or the comma? "He said," or "He said",
On a similar note, which goes first: the end quote or the period? --> His name is John but we call him "Buck." or His name is John but we call him "Buck".


... share the things that confuddle you! ^_^

"What's the difference between purple, violet and indigo?"

For us design geeks, it's their color/pantone codes (the number combination of C, M, Y, and K). E.g. Color "A" has a higher cyan than color "B" and other numeric values. *nosebleed*
