As a child in the 1970s, I was always taught that March comes “in like a lion, and out like a lamb.” (I believe that other countries have different animals, i.e. New Zealand where March comes in like a kangaroo and out like a smaller kangaroo.) But as I aged, I found that saying waning, and by the time my child was old enough to understand, they had absolutely NO idea what I was talking about. Of course, they also had no idea about the four food groups, either, which can be attributed to the world moving on, but leading to today’s out-of-date query…
The MS-QOTD (pronounced, as always, “misquoted”) made sure to introduce the child to ‘Schoolhouse Rock’, so at least SOME of my references will makes sense, asking: What bit of knowledge that you were taught as a child is no longer valid, like my “In like a lion” issue?

“There are 9 planets and 4 ocean basins.” Now it seems that there are 8 and 5, respectively. I think you have to have a combined total of 13, in some kind of planet/ocean equilibrium.
