Greetings fellow FoCers! Hope you enjoyed your day of serenity without TVCH. LOL Actually, if you were like me, you probably checked every few minutes to see if the board was back yet. Currently on the table are these questions:
- Is Los Angeles slowly moving south toward Baja, Mexico?
- If you lived on Mars, would you get an extra half-hour each day?
You said: 1 | Fact | 1 | | Crap | 13 | 2 | Fact | 10 | | Crap | 4 | Hmmm, if LA were heading to Mexico, woulding they be putting Eric Estrada on the main networks again to gain viewers? (He has a large following in the Spanish Soaps.) Anyway, the Calendar Cretins have this to say:
- It's CRAP! "The San Andreas Fault is a continuous narrow break in the earth's crust that extends from northern California southward to San Bernardino. Geologists call its movement a 'right-lateral strike-slip displacement,' meaning that if one stands on either side of the fault, objects on the other side would appear to move right. The west side of the fault is moving northward, drifting as much as 2 inches per year. At that rate, Los Angeles will be a suburb of San Francisco in about 15 million years."
- It's FACT! "A Martian can sleep (or work) an extra half-hour every day compared to you. Mars days are 24 hours and 37 minutes long, compared to 23 hours, 56 minutes on Earth. A day on any planet in our solar system is determined by how long it takes the planet to spin once on its axis, making the sun appear to rise in the morning and set in the evening."
Now, it should be noted that Hukd is the only one who said Fact to question #1, however she can be forgiven since she's in New York and may think LA is a suburb of Baja already. Okay, here are a couple of new ones for you:
The earth is older than the sun. King Camp Gillette, the inventor of the safety razor, was a utopian who believed all Americans should live in one Metropolis, with Theodore Roosevelt as its leader. FACT or CRAP? You decide!

1. Crap, they are exactly the same age. Genesis 1:1. In the beginning God created the heavens and the Earth. 2. True beyond a shadow of a doubt. We have a family acquaintance named King BradenCAMP. Why would anybody name a baby King? Sounds like the name of Sgt. Preston of the Mounties dog. Or Barron Trump's next brother.

Evening, fellow FoCers. Spring was definitely in the air today with warm temperatures and clear blue skies. Unfortunately, by evening, the clouds had moved back in. Ah, such is life. Questions at hand are:
- Is the earth older than the sun?
- Was King Camp Gillette, the inventor of the safety razor, a utopian who believed all American should live in one Metropolis, with Theodore Roosevelt as its leader?
You said: 1 | Fact | 1 | | Crap | 12 | 2 | Fact | 8 | | Crap | 5 | Here's what the Calendar Craniums have to say:
1. It's CRAP! "Our planet is more than 4.5 billion years old,just a shade younger than the sun. Recent evidence actually shows that Earth was formed much earlier than previously believed, just 10 million years after the birth of the sun, a stellar event typically put at 4.6 billion years ago."
2. It's FACT! "In 1903, King Gillette began making safety razor blades with William Nickerson, quickly becoming a millionaire. But his real passion was the World Corporation, a utopian community where 60 million Americans would live in one Metropolis containing millions of rooms serviced by vast common dining rooms. He picked the Niagara River as its power source and tried to get Teddy Roosevelt and then Henry Ford to be its president. Both refused. Gillette lost his fortune in the crash of '29 and died in 1932 while in the midst of a new but unsuccessful enterprise: trying to extract oil from shale." Wow! I have a hard time living in a region with around 1 million people, much less thinking about one huge Metropolis with 60 million souls! ACK! Okay, here are a couple more for you:
John Wilkes Booth's brother once saved the life of Abraham Lincoln's son. A billion people on earth live in poverty, subsisting on less than $2 per day. FACT or CRAP? You decide!
