I scored 75%.  I was a fifth grader in 1940.  How long does that make it for me?  57 years?  I am sure some of the answers have changed since then.

And I just flunked math.  1940 to 2007 is 67 years, not 57.  Oh, my, back to school, old lady.

I got 85%.  How long has it been since I was a 5th grader?  Let me think.  I believe it has been 42 years since I was a 5th grader.  I've been out of high school 35 years this May.

If you have a truck that weighs 2 ton and a load of chickens that weigh 500 pounds. How much does both weigh if all the birds are flying?
Answer: 4,000 plus all the eggs they have laid and all the chicken manure they have created. HA!

Holy Buckets-----------------I need to check and see if I was ever in the 5th grade !!!!!
I DID NOT DO WELL at all  Now that everyone is telling how long it has been since they were  5th graders I will give the correct answer on this one.   Sixty seven years --- It is quite an accomplishment that I got that figured out.  lol lol lol

I have about a 3rd grade level in mentality.
(http://www.cascity.com/howard/animations/embarr.gif) How sad is that?

But I was always a hands on learner.. and I guess my expertise lands in those areas..
"healer.. chef... mother... grandma...
You know... all those really IMPORTANT areas...

One more thing...

George Washington was definitely not the first President of the United States.
He was the first President of the United States under the Constitution we follow today. The first seven Presidents are forgotten in history.

The reason I said that is....Because you have the smarts to get on this "confuser" and look up all the important info about our first president.   
  Personally, I found it a very interesting read. 
        NOW YOU KNOW THE REASON FOR THE POST !!!
