8/10....Don't know why I can't seem to remember who that Patrick Henry fella is.:rolleyes: My other wrong answer wasn't totally wrong. I picked three of the rights guaranteed by the bill of rights instead of "all of the above"....

It's a good thing I watch Cash Cab...;)

9 of 10. I also missed the last one.

Not sure if Vince would only get 1 of 10, but there are lots of natural born citizens that would only do about that well.
We just have lots of smart people on downlow.

You obviously don't watch enough Cash Cab or Leno's Jay Walking.... :D

We did however have a thread fully explaining Cinco de Mayo recently, I believe.:thinking:

Oh well, here's another explanation:

Most people don't know that back in 1912. Hellmann's mayonnaise was manufactured in England. In fact, the Titanic was carrying 12,000 jars of the condiment scheduled for delivery in Vera Cruz, Mexico, which was to be the next port of call for the great ship after its stop in New York.


This would have been the largest single shipment delivered to Mexico. But as we know, the great ship did not make it to New York. The ship hit an iceberg and sank, and the cargo was forever lost.

The people of Mexico, who were crazy about mayonnaise, and were eagerly awaiting its delivery; were disconsolate at the loss. Their anguish was so great, that they declared a National Day of Mourning, which they still observe to this day.

The National Day of Mourning occurs each year on May 5th and is known,of course, as


"Sinko de Mayo"

WHAT!!!! You expected something educational from me?
