OK, I am officially retarded

No offense intended for the non politically correct term. I just saw the thread that curlylocks started here and realized, for the first time mind you, the beetles (as in bugs) and Beatles (as in british singing people) are spelled differently. Don't get me wrong, I have never posted on a music newsgroups using the word beetles, nor have I posted on any entomology (just knowing that term should get me off the hook right) newsgroups refering to Beatles, its just something that I have never thought of before. As recently as last weekend I bought my nephew a childrens book called the ABC beetle book (A great book by the way) and my neice (who is a big Beatles fan but freaks out at anything with more than two legs let alone six) some funky beatles trinket at an antique store. Oh well, I guess I can put this down as the "something new" I learned today.

At leat you didn't say etimology.

Have you considered joining the Coleopteran Existentialist Society? It's new but gaining members slowly.

You know...........now that I think about it, I don't think I realized it was spelled differently. Just one of those things I don't think I ever thought about.

i realized i was a tard some time back.... cant remember an exact event . i think, i just woke up one morning and said to myself "you know robin, you really are a tard" (yes i do talk to myself)
