I'm not looking for the typical, "All I ever need to know I learned..." things like "Astroturf is a perfectly viable surface for your back yard." I'm looking for actual facts you picked up by watching the show.
The first two that come to mind for me are:
1. The left side is port ("Law and Disorder").
2. Forks on the left, knives and spoons on the right ("Kelly's Kids").
Times change...people don't. (Carol Brady, but can't remember what episode)
Putting an aspirin in the water helps flowers stay fresher. (Carol to Alice in the infamous "Mom always said don't play ball in the house" broken vase episode) I've never tried it, but still cool to know.
Peel onions under cold running water to reduce eye burn. Carol to Alice, to which Alice responds, "What? And miss a good cry?"
I'm now realizing that the things I remember were all said by Carol! I know I learned stuff from Mike, but can't remember specific things at this moment.

Where the hell is Beeks.
I learned:
1. Of the existence of the S.S. Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbor, and why it's
shaped the way it is.
2. That Benedict Arnold walked with a limp.
3. Boys' voices do strange things when they reach puberty.
