Fact or Crap? Max has plumb run outta time to be able to keep up with this thread.

If you guessed FACT, you're correct! :-)

My apologies to all you FoCers. Life has simply become busy and when I look at the list of things to do, unfortunately keeping up on facts and crap falls way too far down on the list!

Here are the last questions we had:
  1. The United Kingdom tops the list of countries with the greatest number of female 'decision-makers.'
  2. The United States has more murders per capita than any country in the world.
  3. The United States has the world's highest per capita income.


You said. . .
1 Fact 3
Crap 6
2 Fact 4
Crap 5
3 Fact 1
Crap 8


Well, you FoCers, it was ALL. . .

crap

Here's what the Calendar Crappers have to say:

  1. "The United States, where 45% of senior officials, legislators, and managers are women, is ranked No. 1 according to data gathered by the International Labour Organization in 2002. After the United States come Trinidad-Tobago, Lithuania, Barbardos, New Zealand, Columbia, Latvia, Belize, Russia, and Bolivia, respectively. The United Kingdom does not even appear in the top ten."
  2. "Columbia is first on the list with .63 murders per 1,000 people. THe United States is way down in 24th place with .04 murders per 1,000. South Africa, Jamaica, Venezuela, and Russia round out the top five."
  3. "According to 2004 figures published by the World Bank, the United States actually ranks third, with an average per capita income of $35,400 per year. Number one is Norway at $38,730, and number two is Switzerland at $36,170. Three countries tie for last place out of 141 countries overall: Burundi, Republic of Congo, and Ethiopia -- where the average per capita income is roughly $100 per year."


Well, folks, I may pop in from time to time and post another question or two for you, but I can't do it every day. I don't know what I was thinking when I started this! If only I still had a corporate job, I'd have all the time in the world to do this stuff. But I work for myself now and don't get paid to play anymore. :-) Not that I'm complaining! I like my commute from the bedroom to the desk! LOL

I think this would go great in this thread....seems like an appropriate topic for Fact or Crap

I posted this in N&V, but got no responses. I am very curious to what everyone thinks of this subject

I would love for anyone to share thoughts, opinions, encounters.....

This is a subject dh & I have discussed, usually after watching something on TV.

I'ts hard for me to just discount some of the "eyewitness sightings". But dh makes a good point...why has no one ever found signs or remains of a dead Bigfoot? Maybe one has never died? Don't think so.

Researches think that they dispose of their dead, as we humans do. I also think they probably have found remains, but they are only protected if the public doesn't know about them, right? I think environmentalists have their hands in this all across the board. The more confidential they are kept, the safer and the longer they will last.

I guess it's one of those subjects that "I'll believe it when I see it". Not up close and personal of course!

Think I'll go back and check out that site some more when I have time. It certainly looks interesting and I really do enjoy this kind of "stuff".
