Is Our Children Learning Part I: Continents have been moving for millions of years.

[Demosthenes]

I need you to answer the following question without looking it up, please.

The continents have been moving their location for millions of years and will continue to move. True or false?

[-Spector-]

True, I believe. Because of subterranean tech-tonic plates? Or did I use the wrong word?

Oh well, question for you: Shouldn't the Title(s) be "Are our children learning" ?

[Demosthenes]

Hehe, yea. I'm mocking Dubya.

[-Spector-]

haha gotcha, so can you PM me my results? Though I know you'll knock me down for number 3 :P

[HandOfHeaven]

I don't believe in 'millions of years'.

[Thanatos]

taroooooooo

[Sovereign]

They will continue to move until there is no more heat left in the Earth to create convection currents in the mantle.

Or so me things if I remember natural sciences at all.

[Willkillforfood]

Yea. Or until Chuck Norris tells them to?

[Vault Dweller]

So who voted false?

And if it was MJ...well then the rest of us are proving some kind of sociological/educational point.

[HandOfHeaven]

I voted false because it said millions of years. I do believe the continents have been moving, but the world is not that old. Sorry, I'm a creationist. Ask me to prove it and I'll redirect you to the bible. Faith's a bitch.

[D3V]

LOL.

Wasn't it called 'Pandora' or something? I guess since I can't look it up I may not be entirely correct, But I do remember in class talking about the continents at one point in time being entirely connected, and then a combination of volcanic eruptions and earthquakes supposively seperated them? Which is also hard to beleive, but I guess that's how the cookie crumbles.

[HandOfHeaven]

It's called Pangea.

[D3V]

Aye, that's it. Lenny helped me out, I knew it began with a P, and Idk where Pandora's box came into my head, who knows. 7th grade was a long ass time ago :(

[-Spector-]

Yeah you had me confused for a second.. cause I knew what Pandora's Box was. ;)

[Demosthenes]

Anyway, I don't think we're going to get significantly more votes.

92.3% are correct.

[D3V]

I don't think anybody anymore is considered a child on these forums; although a few of unmentioned members action's could be considered so.


We need to have a live version of "Are you smarter than a 5th grader" on these forums.

I'm not sure I understand.

I wasn't trying to imply anyone was childish or anything like that. It was just a recent poll done on Americans show that only 80% got this right. I was wondering how it would be on Zelaron.

[Atnas]

:x wait 70%?

That's too low.

[Lenny]

Ah! So that's the reason.

What about the other two? What was the percentage of correct American answers for the other two questions?

[Demosthenes]

Sorry, that was a typo. It's 80%.

Question 2 was 71% and question 3 was 34%.

[Coffeedagger]

I voted false because the idea makes no sense to me. Oh oops this was proven as a fact right? Dang I should pay attention to stuff more.

[Asamin]

Yea. Or until Chuck Norris tells them to?
Pretty much. He is the ruler of everything! We are his puppets and he is the master.
