    The rest are undecided :)

    Wrong hypothesis. 55% think that the other 45% .....blah blah. The undecided are within the 45 percentile. Your thinking is nonsensical.

    In a 2008 survey, 58% of British teens thought Sherlock Holmes was a real guy, while 20% thought Winston Churchill was not. :O

    Although obviously inspired by 1984 and appropriately Orwellian in nature, the term "doublespeak" is never actually used by George Orwell anywhere in his famous book.

    120 tonnes of wet wipes are pulled from the QLD sewage drains every year. If stretched out from end to end, they would stretch all the way to New Zealand.

    So the obese eat beef from Big Macs, the demand for which results in clearing vegetation (which would otherwise act to reduce atmospheric CO2) for grazing cattle which emit CO2. Then they exhale more CO2 shedding the kilos of their hedonistic overconsumption.

    Fat people cause global warming.

    The linked article is such a crapulous presentation of the chemistry it is almost beyond belief.
    This is why I have such reservations about the Internet as an information source.

    Research has shown that married women loose their sense of humour after 7 years.

    In August 1260, Kublai Khan created the first unified paper currency called Chao; bills were circulated throughout the Yuan domain with no expiration date. To guard against devaluation, the currency was convertible with silver and gold, and the government accepted tax payments in paper currency. In 1273, Kublai issued a new series of state sponsored bills to finance his conquest of the Song, although eventually a lack of fiscal discipline and inflation turned this move into an economic disaster. It was required to pay only in the form of paper money. To ensure its use, Kublai's government confiscated gold and silver from private citizens and foreign merchants, but traders received government-issued notes in exchange.

    Kublai Khan is considered to be the first fiat money maker. The paper bills made collecting taxes and administering the empire much easier and reduced the cost of transporting coins.[66] In 1287, Kublai's minister Sangha created a new currency, Zhiyuan Chao, to deal with a budget shortfall.[67] It was non-convertible and denominated in copper cash. Later Gaykhatu of the Ilkhanate attempted to adopt the system in Persia and the Middle East, which was a complete failure, and shortly afterwards he was assassinated.
