    Thank you! I do trivia with older blind people three times a week and I’d like to start out with an odd fact. I’m definitely going to use these so I have like 10 weeks worth :-). By the way, I’m also one of the old blind people. Although I’m the youngest at 61 I believe the oldest is in her late 80s early 90s and she still sharp as a tack and kicks are behind on any trivia involving science.

      That’s awesome, I’m going blind from keratoconus, I really like just lying down and listening to stuff like this! I started with spooky stories years ago and now it’s a big hobby for me since I don’t have to have my contacts in. I’m just turning 35, but I think about how nice it would be to live in like a group home when I’m a senior. Living with similarly capable people instead of being alone would be the ideal situation for me 😊

I write educational texts, and when I was assigned a 6th-grade ELA book, I used that premise in a lesson exercise. I also included the sneaky trick I use to break the response--because who'd benefit more from that knowledge than a kid? (And no, I don't stick my thumb on my upper palate, ~ick~)

    Fun Fact to Monopoly:
    Germanys Monopoly is the only "original" country-based Monopoly version, that does not use actual Berlin and its landmarks, like all other countries (like France) do.
    Reason: there actually was a Monopoly version based in Berlin, but one of the Nazileaders (i cant remember whether it was Göring or Göbels) didn't like to see his own home street somewhere in the middle of the game board, indicating that he is just average. so the version was banned and remade by the company to suit nazi Germanys needs. ;)

      I wonder how many people have learned to pay their taxes without school teaching. Sorry if you’re one of the few people that are incapable of learning without being taught by school.

    11:32 The originals were made in Britain, so the correct name (just like with football) is the British one. American publishers thought Wally wouldn't work well with Americans and so changed it to Waldo (as if that's any better). The name changes all over the world, but I think we can all agree that the worst one is France, who call him Charlie - it isn't even alliterative, in English or French (Où est Charlie?)! The Germans call him Walter.

    So, I think the main reason this series is popular, is that it stimulates our brain's constant anxiety that we're not learning as much as we're supposed to. By giving us a long list of easily digestible and diversified lessons, convincing us that we've been productive by watching it without costing much effort
