Today I had reason to Google Macaulay Culkin, so as to know how to spell his name. I had no idea because I've maybe referred to him maybe a dozen times in my life. Don't even ask why I had to know now. It did make me consider some remarkable gaps in my knowledge. For example, I have no idea what the football team from Phoenix is. Is there even a football team from Phoenix? I don't know or particularly care, but some it just shows some things we take for granted. I'm sure I know things other people don't. Things like where Paul Morphy was born.
