What? You doubted it was "Serling"? lol

And you doubted it was not oxygen but nitrogen? lol

And please don't tell me you doubted the Earth had to be farther away from the Sun during our winter! he he he

Told you those were good test questions! ;-)

I actually saw a complete idiot on "Who Wants To Be A Moron On TV"...I mean, "Millionaire?" who was a high school teacher miss the air question. He didn't know it himself so he "phoned a friend" that was the 8th grade science teacher in his school and, of course, "he'd know".

His colleague told him "oxygen" and he lost. I looked at my wife and said, "told you teachers today are idiots and both should be fired". But they probably got raises.

I was pretty sure it was Serling, but it had been years since I typed his name, so I had to go look to make sure I wasn't loosing my mind.

I was really sure that it was nitrogen, but I started doubting myself because I wasn't 100 percent sure on Serling. And I was very sure about the fact that the earth is actually more distant from the sun during Northern hemisphere winter, but that it didn't matter, it was the axial tilt that determined the difference.

Was I sure enough to bet on Who Wants to be a Millionaire? Oh, yeah. But this is FreeRepublic - we're held to a higher standard. :)
