CRAP

This Geographer says that Lake Victoria in Africa is the second largest freshwater lake in the world if you go by surface area (it's not very deep so if you go by volume it wouldn't even be second). It is, however, the largest tropical freshwater lake. But that wasn't the question. Btw, Lake Superior is the largest (says this Minnesotan). and the Caspian Sea is technically a lake and the largest overall, but it is salt water. The worlds' deepest lake is Lake Baikal in Russia.

End of today's geography lesson.

It's fact, although I'm really not too sure how fresh the water is, afterall they all take baths in it, along with their animals taking baths in it, well really the animals just use it to cool down in. I wonder if anyone ever told the animals not to go pee in the water.

Holy Wednesday, FoCers! I must have been in a head-cold-induced time warp 'cause I don't know why I completely spaced on posting a new FoC item for y'all! My apologies. Thankfully, the cold is leaving and my head is clearer tonight, so future slip-ups will need a new excuse -- uh, reason -- uh, well, uh. . . ANYWAY. . .

The question at hand is:

Is Africa's Lake Victoria the world's largest body of fresh water?

You said:
Fact 6
Crap 18

Now, despite the fact that Tabbyking may have had the biggest bathtub in her neighborhood, I'm fairly sure that isn't the largest freshwater body in the world! :-)

And despite the fact that I love the word "Crapinski" (even though I'm tempted to write a Haiku about Tara Lapinski), I'm clueless as to what body of water in Russia would even come close to being in this category.

However, what I think really has no bearing on the status of these questions, so let's get to what the Calendar Co-pilots have to say:

It's CRAP! The Great Lakes, a group of five freshwater lakes on the border of the United States and Canada, together form the largest body of fresh water in the world. Lake Superior, Lake Michigan, Lake Huron, Lake Erie, and Lake Ontario have a combined surface area of 95,000 square miles (246,050 sq. km)."

great lakes from the shuttle

Is anyone besides me thirsty???

Okay, since I was asleep at the proverbial wheel, here are three -- count 'em, THREE -- questions for you FoCers to ponder:

  1. Fatty Arbuckle, chubby silent movie star, was found guilty of murder and rape and died in prison.
  2. The American flag contains the same number of red and white stripes.
  3. Henry VIII had all of his wives beheaded.


FACT or CRAP? You decide!

1. Crap. Major scandal, but he was acquitted.

2. Crap. You can't have an even number if there is a total that is an odd number. (And anyways, the stripes begin and end in red!)

3. Crap. I can't remember how many wives he had, but didn't one of 'em remarry or something? I mean, didn't his last wife outlive him? So he couldn't have had all his wives beheaded.

Thank you Orville! I will try to remember. The old memory ain't what it use to be, though. Please remind me if I forget. I am Carol, which you probably already know. (I would have posted this in your folder but you don't have one)
