Joseph,
“all”?
ICOT, re: The Pledge, correct.
Which of the following is the correct statement?
(a) “One small leap for man, one giant step for mankind.”
(b) “One giant leap for man, one small step for mankind.”
(c) “One small step for mankind, one giant leap for man.”
(d) “One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.”
intellegent – correct!
joseph! i’m ashamed you even posted that! it’s “D”
brooklyn19, correct!
Joseph-
Neil Armstrong’s famous quote of “One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind” caught him grief for many years, due to the gramatical error of omitting the “a” before “man”.
Armstrong always insisted he’d said “a”.
A recent analysis of the “cleaned up” recording appears to show that Armstrong was correct.
you know what i just realized? it’s kinda weird that all the guys on here call me by my name. lol i feel like i’d turn around if someone called me “brooklyn” in the street. weird!

Who is Barry Soetoro?
This question is for my son! It’s Obama. I think when his mother (Ann Dunham?) remarried Soetoro, they moved to Jakarta (Indonesia?) for a few years where he was known as Barry Soetoro.
brooklyn19: has something to do with obama from what i remember!!!
Okay, let’s not get political here. We know how that’s turned up in the past.
jf02, most of the questions here ARE political in nature. (Although the oilam’s political viewpoints are out of sync with yours, thats no reason to refrain from discussion…) 🙂
back to history questions:
how much was manhattan sold from the indians for??
i forgot – i used to know. something rediculous like 20 bucks? a little more?
Henry Hudson paid $25 or I think the equivalent was 60 in Dutch currency.
hey esther what planet are you from? why do you always know this stuff?
yup $20 dollars worth of gold trinkits=the 25cent machine stuff!!!!
here’s a tough one:
list all 50 states with capitols!!!! winners wins a prize!!!!!!
Peter Minuit was the purchaser of Manhattan, for @ $26 dollars wort of chotchkes.
It wasn’t a bad deal for the Indians who sold it, since they were actually a Brooklyn-based tribe!
The Manhattan-based Indians were ripped off.
This is akin to my selling you LaGuardia airport for only $50 – a great deal for both of us, if you’re allowed to keep it.
Most history books omit this.
asd – i have a life! if you think i’m gonna type them all up you’re crazy. but i do know them! (can’t spell them but that’s a different story)
Brooklyn- I’ve been around for a while “collecting” odds n ends of info.
Asd….- If you think I have time for that, hope you have another think coming real soon. But I believe I still know most of them.
