Where does one find a number like that? Is it from some sort of census data which you are pulling this? I'd be interested to learn more about other such "what do people know on average" type trends. :phones:

Very cool. I couldn't find the source of the data, but the data itself is pretty... well... "Quirky." :phones:

Last summer, I had a long (3 months) email conversation with my cousin Freddy who is a fundementalist christian. He swore up and down that the farthest stars in the universe were only 2,000 light years away. The Bible said so, and that was that!

Was he one of those kids that ate the paste in kindergarden? :phones:

Of the one hundred and thirty five American Indian tribes, give or take a couple, only one tribe begins their name with the letter L. How is it spelled???

[pgrmdave]

Lenape, or Lenni-Lenape.

[pgrmdave]

I went to Lenape Valley Regional High School - I didn't know that there weren't any other American Indian tribes beginning with 'L'.

Evidently I've missed one pgrmdave; I got my information from this site:

 

http://www.infoplease.com/spot/aihmnations.html

 

They only listed the Lumbee in the L column. I did some extra research and found information on the Lenape, a tribe local to the Delaware region. At any rate, there are at least two tribes with the first letter being L, live and learn.

 

Good to hear from you friend, would the Lenape Valley High School be in Delaware by chance?

[pgrmdave]

Nope - Lenape is in Northern NJ, near the Delaware river (well, not very far away from it at least).

2) What were astronauts unable to do in space, leading them to ask for less gas in their soda pop? Yes Jay-Qu! Belch it is!

 

3) What venerable institution, founded in 1660, is the oldest scientific organization in Britain?

 

4) What N-word, popularized by Nabokov, denotes immature insects that do not have a pupal stage?
