| 1 | I think fewer sporting events in general should be televised. | Do you think that more women's athletics should be televised? |
| 2 | Nope, nor am I likely to. | Have you ever tried any of the following methods of holistic health care? |
| 3 | The explanation text blows dead donkeys, sorry. | When you hug a person, do you generally turn your face towards their neck or away from it? |
| 4 | Why I even give a rat's ass about the dead donkeys, or about the explanation text? I'm confused. | When you hug a person, do you generally turn your face towards their neck or away from it? |
| 5 | I assume this means only films that were released under the Disney imprint (unlike The Sixth Sense which Disney produced but was released under a subsidiary). By that definition, it would be A Bug's Life. | Which is your favorite Walt Disney movie of all time? |
| 6 | Well, I know that Coca-Cola was invented on that date, but it wasn't by accident so it can't be that one... | What tummy filler was invented by accident on May 8, 1886? |
| 7 | How do you figure that a formula that the inventor worked on for years was an accident? It's not like he spilled something on something else and voila, Coca-Cola; he labored over it for quite a while. Its creation was completely intentional. The purpose to which it was ultimately put may have been other than Dr. Pemberton intended, but that's a bit different from its creation. If that's the criteria you're using, then the date is wrong because it didn't become a simple beverage until years later. For example, if I'm a scientist and I work on a naval sealing compound for years until I was satisfied with it, that compound could not be said to have been created accidentally. If it turns out that kids like to play with it and some advertising guy markets it as Silly Putty, that still doesn't mean it was invented by accident. It was simply marketed for a different purpose. | What tummy filler was invented by accident on May 8, 1886? |
| 8 | Hmmm...over a dozen histories researched (including the Coca-Cola company's official history) and apparently that book is the sole source of the accident story. Fine with me, I'm prepared to drop it. | What tummy filler was invented by accident on May 8, 1886? |
| 9 | Just as an aside, keep in mind that telling someone they're "obviously wrong" based on a difficult-to-corroborate story in a book some guy wrote is always a risky proposition. You might want to skim through that book to see if there's any mention of Thomas Crapper inventing the toilet or lemmings jumping off cliffs. (I've got a book that repeats the Crapper myth so I know it happens.) | What tummy filler was invented by accident on May 8, 1886? |
| 10 | Okay, I don't want to get into a pissing match about it. We can agree to disagree, especially when it concerns the reliability of a book written for 5th graders. | What tummy filler was invented by accident on May 8, 1886? |
