Posted on June 6, 2016 by Chris Cane

The Internet humor piece variously entitled “The L.A. Math Proficiency Test” or “The City of Los Angeles High School Math Proficiency Exam” has been part of online lore since at least 1993, and some of our readers recall having seen photocopied versions of it as far back as the mid-1980s. (Authors Unknown) Answers to the City

A farmer’s advice and the ten commandments

Posted on February 11, 2016 by Chris Cane

On my way to looking something up!

Posted on November 16, 2015 by Chris Cane

I’m probably not the only one who follows a zig-zag path while looking up just about anything in a dictionary, encyclopedia or even worse (perhaps better) the internet. Today was no exception. While watching the TV Game Show called The Chase an unusual question arose asking what’s approximately equivalent to 250 Watts? The possible answers

The Death of Common Sense and Profiles of Those Who Knew Him

Posted on October 16, 2015 by Chris Cane
