If you live in the U.K. And you've attended school/ have access to television, radio or anything I don't get how you can't at least have heard of Romeo and Juliet.
"Rio Janeiro, ain't that a person?" is another golden quote from Big Brother, courtesy of the late Jade Goody (RIP but still...)
My brother also didn't know who Horatio Nelson was, and for some reason thought it was Napoleon Bonaparte standing on top of Nelson's Column in Trafalgar Square. The only defense I can give him is that we're not from London, but really that's still piss poor.
Also, memory is but a single aspect of intelligence not intelligence as a whole.
