So I'm listening to Christmas music via my cable because they have a special Christmas music channel, the discovery of which has totally made my day. It's obviously the little things that do it for me.
But anyways, it lists "fun" trivia facts while the music plays(the channel is totally made for me!) and one of them was that Sir Isaac Newton was born on Christmas day. But they felt the need to identify him as a "mathamatician and scientiest". Do the majority of American's watching this channel really not know who Newton is? I feel the fact that he originated the concepts of gravity and the three laws of motion has been drilled into my head since elementy school. Everybody knows who Newton is, right? At the very least I'd hope that people hear of Newton and think of little apple falling onto his head. But maybe that's not the case...
So basically, my joy of discovering a channel devoted entirely to Christmas music has been hampered by the channel's viewers supposed ignorance.
