It's scary that those people want to vote and have a say in what goes on in our country. Do these people not learn anything in school, did they even go to school?

I can almost say that I can't believe the stupidity of American Youth, but it is so true. Just watch some of Jesse Water's Street interviews. You take a young person that went to a Private School and put the next to a Public School young person and they are at two different levels of Inteligent.
It is really sad and the Teacher Unions continues to want to have the tile of "Educators".
It is a lot of the fault of the parents. They let the School system do the parrenting!

Actually the Chinese Gooseberry came from the Yangtze Valley in China. It is thought that it arrived in New Zealand with the Chinese gold miners that joined the Otago gold rush in the early 1860s. The NZ Kiwifruit is an improved strain of the original Chinese Gooseberry.

I got three right -- catgut, Hundred Years war and King George.
Haven't heard the term 'catgut' in almost 40 years. Used to have some old cane snowshoes that were "strung with catgut". Tossed 'em in '86. I was in a conversation yesterday where one of the participant's children had just bought a big house in an older neighborhood near Charlotte, that it had been built in '06. I commented, "if the plumbing and electrical has been replaced, a house from 1906 is probably beautiful." Nope, 2006. Oof.

Wasn't catgut also used for musical strings or violin type bows. I've always kind of equated it with sinew. I can't remember but it seems that there was another major use for catgut that I seem to remember from my childhood. Surgical sutures, stretching drumheads, I remember that if you used it wet, when it dried it shrunk and got tighter.

I think that was Ali and Cassius Clay. The Civil War was an internal struggle was it not?
