Let's prove it, honestly.

Missed one - I guessed 50% obese, considering that is what I practically see everyday. Guess I'm an uneducated fool.

Tsk, tsk.
I'll guess you're not obese.
I am obese, but I got it right, so.:D

Wow, only 25% of the US is obese? That's the only question I missed too, but I was a little disappointed in the questions. It's not difficult enough to really create any separation.

11/11. Though I admit I probably would have guessed 50% obesity but I'd already read through the thread.
Those questions weren't very difficult, seemed just like the "Jay Leno asking questions on the street" bit.

Obese is different than overweight though.

To be medically diagnosed, your bmi has to be over 29 for obese, 25-29.9 is overweight. Different!

I only got 3 right, still the record holder, mainly because I dont give a damn about anything on that quiz. Like the leader of Libya or the current speaker of the House of Representatives, I dont care about that stuff.

Ha! I knew I'd get some reactions to that. I couldn't find a pic that better represented an overweight girl, so I used that one. I actually thought BeepBeep or Granny would be the first to comment.

missed the obese question myself. Ah well, I really could give a shit about other peoples weight issues anyways. I'll worry about my own in this instance. Finished the quiz in about 40 seconds as well. Pretty easy all around.

8/11. Missed Speaker, expenditure, and biggest source of energy
I only got 3 right, still the record holder, mainly because I dont give a damn about anything on that quiz. Like the leader of Libya or the current speaker of the House of Representatives, I dont care about that stuff.
kinda hard NOT to know who the leader of lybia is...unless you happened to not be born (or were totally asleep) during the whole "gulf of sidra incident" (1989). qadaffi and n.korean terrorist bombings were hallmarks of 80's news.

obesity & medicare ...

really? how could someone as old as you not know that medicare was our biggest expenditure? it's GINORMUS! it's even bigger than 25% of our population!
R/T93
06-04-2011, 02:58 PM
I got the medicare one right but it was pretty much a guess, blows my mind how that could even be possible. Don't we put into that fund our entire working lives? I have several thousand already paid out, I'm 26. Let me guess, illegals and welfare suck it all up?
