Irregular conjugations

[ya-stranen.livejournal.com]

Until yesterday, I wasn't aware of the first person singular conjugations of дать and all the verbs that have that stem. I always thought it was «даю», but to my suprise, it was «дам». I was also suprised by the third person singular conjugation—«даст». Now, I know that Russian has many irregular verbs, but are there any others that are this different?

вставать - встать
узнавать - узнать

I remember only because it deals with the grueling subject of knowing where the accent falls because it means the difference of doing it in the present or the future.

Oh, right. Must be the heat - my poor brain is positively melting...

What's the temperature right now in Russia? I mean, really now, it can be no match for us South Floridians.

No idea - I'm not in Russia, I'm in Canada :-)
