1. Lessons From Encyclopedia Brown

With the passing of Encyclopedia Brown author Donald Sobol, I've been thinking about all the things I've learned in life from the Boy Detective. Here goes:


Penguins don't live in the Arctic (and if there's a stuffed one in an Arctic exhibit, a thief has probably filled it with stolen money).

Even-numbered book pages are always on the left.

Tennis players have one forearm that is bigger than the other.

Bugs Meany is the best bully name ever.

Don't mess with Sally Kimball.

What do you remember learning from Encyclopedia Brown?
