The logos quiz game is yet another reason why watching way too much TV (and therefore seeing way too many commercials) can be beneficial. It’s simple to play: the app shows images of logos and asks you to name the brand associated with each image. The more you name, the more hints and levels you unlock.
Besides being super easy, it’s free–which is always a plus. The one downside: it’s only available for Apple products, although a similar game is available for Android.

I believe I was in the sixth grade when I heard my first “that’s what she said” joke. At the time it didn’t make much sense, a cluster of innocent words made hilarious by a simple phrase. By seventh grade I was fully aware of the “top secret” meaning, and by eighth grade it became (shamefully) as much a part of my vernacular as “like” or “Facebook.” Though the joke has somewhat faded from funniness over the years, at least for most high schoolers, the real purpose of it lingers everywhere students go.
