I entered the same answers as last time to provide an accurate sample, one not contaminated by meta-knowledge.

Except for the Monty Python reference. And the comment box. I had a bit of fun with that.

What if someone from Latin America answers it?
Nothing that won't happen after an Australian answers it.

I think the slaughter part is what made them angry.

Who used the word 'banausically' in their description of how the survey was presented? Congrats, you made me learn a new word today!

Might as well chalk it up to Pathos.

As this point we might as well invoke interpretive dance and call it a day.

Hehe, it was the wife's suggestion.

Quote from: Chesterton
For, in order that men should resist injustice, something more is necessary than that they should think injustice unpleasant. They must think injustice absurd; above all, they must think it startling. They must retain the violence of a virgin astonishment. When the pessimist looks at any infamy, it is to him, after all, only a repetition of the infamy of existence. But the optimist sees injustice as something discordant and unexpected, and it stings him into action.

The Speed of a Unladen European Swallow is 24 miles an hour, or 11 meters a second. Science here.

I don't really feel like re-writing three paragraphs on the biggest issue in America though.

Considering that a lot us Bay12ers probably googled some questions, it'll probably skew the results a bit, though.

In any case it would be a battle of critical thinking and I refuse to fight an unarmed individual.

Considering likely responses from random mallgoers, I'd say that Google (and Wikipedia, in my case) skew the results a good lot, not just a bit.

I made sure to not google anything, to avoid it.

It was hard, because I was so clueless.

I didn't get any help except for the very last question, which I asked my wife.

And she told you "banausically" was the answer, so that wasn't much different than a dictionary/thesaurus. A few steps below a Google, I think.
