Reason for the question: In the New World you have to pass a test to be promoted. I had composed an Op-Ed questioning the "right answer" to some of the questions, and my thread was posed in order to fill in my response [5)] concerning our economic system: 5) What is the economic system of the United States? Socialism: a stage of society in Marxist theory transitional between capitalism and communism...–Merriam Webster Collegiate Dictionary 6) How long does it take the earth to orbit the sun? Answer: 365-15/62 days 10) What is the square footage of a room 10 feet by 12 feet? Depends on the length of your foot, also whether you mean square feet or feet square. If the latter, the answer is 10.954 ft 13) Name two works written by Shakespeare. Certain scholarly quarters maintain that he wrote nothing, that all his “works” were penned by a ghost writer, eg: www.theage.com.au/news/arts/unmasked-the-real-shakespeare/2005/10/05/1128191785837.html But I still need the link, as I haven't yet submitted the above--any help appreciated--Thanks guys dalehileman Copy Link to Clipboard Share Post on Facebook Share Post on Twitter Re: It does prevail... doesn't it?! #160245 06/05/2006 8:02 PM Joined: Apr 2000 Posts: 10,542 this too shall pass tsuwm Carpal Tunnel tsuwm Carpal Tunnel Joined: Apr 2000 Posts: 10,542 this too shall pass >In the New World you have to pass a test to be promoted. in what "New World" is this?? these answers read like the smart-alek answers of a freshman sociology student.

Go Googling and you'll see But thank you all for your tolerance, as my feeble thrusts at humor and persiflage are often misunderstood I have been banned for less. One board threw me out just for using the exprs "leftpond" and "rightpond". I suppose it's because these terms leave the Australian in a state of limbo and therefore somehow smacked of racial discrimination and Political Incorrectness But I still need help with that quotation--Thanks once more Edited to indicate that it might have come from Norman Thomas or Eugene V Debs dalehileman Copy Link to Clipboard Share Post on Facebook Share Post on Twitter Moderated by  Jackie  Hop To General Topics ------  Information and announcements  Q&A about words  Wordplay and fun  Words and languages in schools  Miscellany  Weekly Themes  Looking for (writers, speakers,...
