Number 3 is wrong. Pensacola was settled before St. Augustine but following a hurricane was almost entirely abandoned for just over a hundred years due to pressure from the areas native population.
Number 6 is questionable, the etymology of cracker is still debated. The Scots-Irish did use the word crack to mean a sort of idle chatting, like the kind you have in a pub. It could also be from the Spanish mockingly calling all the protestant settlers Quakers, or the sound of the thin Spanish whips used to drive cattle by the cattlemen of Florida.

If he didnt qualify for a legit reason thats fine. Why did Frost get cut for being old? How does being old make his writing not excelent? I dont understand that.

This is clearly a joke. They are going the Old Spice route by marketing to men by stereotyping them. Im sure women will find the ads funny in that they are insane.

depends on your degree.

want an mba? well this just shows cheeky initiative. i mean you are outsourcing to professionals not some robot that generates it automatically.

want a masters in osteology? you may have just paid for a class to get some knowlege and then paid to not have the knowlege you initially paid for. what you now dont know may fail you at a job interview.

He is my favorite president. People who look down on him for expanding the role of the federal government ignore the fact that government decentralization leads to things like monopolies and frankly the crap hole we are in now. Not that lots of regulation is the answer either. I think there are some sticks we need to take from the government but there are other we need to add some lead shot to.

You know I was just talking about this with a colleage. We were on a plane going to a conference and I said "Its 2010, why are plane windows so small? And why dont we have augmented reality in the plane windows to show us what we are looking at?" Having it in my glasses would be annoying as hell. A tiny gps icon like the one on the image would be neat in a car windshield though.

My parents cat Willard killed a coral snake and a cottonmouth in the same day. Not the protect the house or anything. He just killed them and brought them into the garage as a show of power.

If you like the title "Daina Taimina’s Crocheting Adventures with Hyperbolic Planes" then you should look up Margaret Wertheim on ted.com. Both are about the fact that while non-euclidian geometry is really really hard to do with math, its really easy to do with yarn.
