A friend of mine recently forwarded this e-mail to me. Normally I will just delete forwards, but this one was just a little quiz to see how much you know about common, everyday things. Stuff you see and use everyday, but maybe don’t pay that much attention to. Since I got it on the Internet, I figured I’d share it with you.
