Re: Lurk Report HERE
People, in general, have no sense of anything! They haven't got a clue about astronomy or geography or physics or math!
Somebody asked a friend of mine, "where in the solar system is the galaxy?"
Another person I know thought that the reason the moon goes through its phases is because it's always the earth casting a shadow on the moon, just like in a lunar eclipse.
A coworker of mine thought that Singapore is inside China.
Another person I talked to thought that gravity is caused by the earth's rotation.

Thats not far off. I heard a few years ago, that China was considering building Singapore Franchises inside their borders. They figured that since the thing was so neat, sterile, and self contained, that they could just commission the Singapore government to replicate a few of them.
I dont know if it ever got off the ground, or if it ever will.. but the idea is.. odd.

Re: Lurk Report HERE
what's the singapore franchise?
well, some of that is the school systems fault. when i was in school, what was covered was the roman empire, middle ages, renasciance, US history, canadian history. the first three are in the order we studied them, the Last two in the order of priority. i live in canada. the rest of the world was covered as an afterthought.
