I dunno.  You have traveled extensively, I tend to stay in one spot.   We both come from fairly large families, though, I think.  My dad was a blue-collar laborer and my mom worked as a waitress at Woolworth's. You like history, but I prefer science and math topics.

That's what's weird about it, sir.

On one hand, we got a respectable responsible upstanding guy from Illinois, the salt of the earth, and on the other hand, we got franksolich, a luftmensch, one of these elusive people who's here today, gone tomorrow, who lives on water and air--but yet we seem to possess the exact same knowledge.

The next time a "quiz" is posted, sir, check it out.  thundley4 and franksolich always score the same.

I got 10 out of 11. I have no idea what percent of Americans the CDC says are obese. I guessed 25%.

I got 10/11.  I thought we spent more on the interest on debt than Medicare.  Sheesh.

Maybe that's the one  I got wrong?

you can look at the questions you missed after you take the test, it's on the left side of the graph

Ah, yes, thank you Gina. I guess my IQ quiz IQ isn't that high.  It was the medicare I missed.

9/11

Missed the fat question and what we spent the most on.

Thought it was 50% and debt interest.
