50% of People are below average height (this is subtle...)

By kebmo at 30,Jan,19 17:01 other posts of kebmo

I don't know about that. Some people ARE average height so they would be subtracted from the 100% that you start with. If 20% ARE average height you only have 80% that are not average.

If half the people are shorter than the median hight, then the other half has to be taller than the median hight. This has nothing to do with how the median was calculated.

By sinanff47 at 31,Jan,19 21:47 other posts of sinanff47

Actually not really. In English, 'average' usually is used for 'mean', which is NOT 'in the middle'. 'MEDIAN' is the 50% mark, but not necessarily 'the average'.

By kebmo at 31,Jan,19 23:20 other posts of kebmo

Sinaff, average, mean, median, regardless, some people will fall exactly on the line leaving less than 100% to be less than or greater than that so to say that 50% are less than that is incorrect but I really didn't care to start with.

By bigg at 04,Feb,19 16:37 other posts of bigg

I bow humbly to your comment, median is of course correct. Average or mean, would not be representative of the "middle" height since the statistical distibution of height of People in the world may not be Gaussian. Very tall people such as Robert Wadlow (Guinness Book of Records 8ft 11,1 inches) while being nice and tall, do tend to have such an effect.

The answer to the question, can you smell in your sieep, is quite simply, no. As it turns out, the phrase wake up and smell the coffee is more true than you would imagine. When you are asleep, your sense of smell shuts down. You can only smell the coffee after you have woken up.

John Wilkes Booth was the b r o t h e r of Edwin Booth, the most acclaimed actor of his day. Edwin just so happened to be Abraham Lincoln's favorite actor.

And...Edwin Booth saved Abraham Lincoln's son, Robert, from serious injury or even death. The incident occurred on a train platform in Jersey City, New Jersey. The exact date of the incident is uncertain, but it is believed to have taken place in late 1864 or early 1865.

The Underground Railroad was a sec.ret network of abolitionists who helped African Americans escape from enslavement in the American South to free Northern states or to Canada. It was the largest anti-slavery freedom movement in North America, having brought between 30,000 and 40,000 fugitives to British North America (Canada).

By #562152 at 08,Oct,18 08:48

If you ask modern people in the USA, you'd be lucky to find someone that can tell you anything about the Underground Railroad. Most don't even know what it is. Those that do generally think that it was in place during the 10 to 15 yrs prior to the American Civil War. That's only a part of it's run. This **** network born to help slaves from the south of the USA reach the north, was in place, at least since the war for independence from England in the late 1700's

Steak trataré is finely chopped raw steak

By kebmo at 24,Sep,18 21:53 other posts of kebmo

In the better restaurants, steak tartare is finely sliced beef served raw and is usually tenderloin.
--------------------------------------- added after 5 minutes

I just googled it and images and they all show ground beef. I have worked in two restaurants that serve it and both times it was sliced tenderloin.

By #562152 at 24,Sep,18 22:00

We are poor, tenderloin is too expensive

--------------------------------------- added after 2 minutes

Steak tartare is a meat dish made from raw ground meat. It is usually served with onions, capers, pepper and Worcestershire sauce, and other seasonings, often presented to the diner separately, to be added to taste. It is often served with a raw egg yolk, and often on rye bread

By #562152 at 24,Sep,18 22:07

I suspect your dish was tenderloin, a much better cut

When I was in Brussels my friend ordered steak tartare and received what he anticipated which was raw, sliced beef.

By kebmo at 25,Sep,18 14:56 other posts of kebmo

Maybe it's a European vs American thing.
The end of the tenderloin was frozen and sliced very thin on the slicer and placed on the plate where it thawed before serving. Frozen meat is easier to slice very thin.
Eating raw ground beef with a raw egg in it is something that my mind would reject outright.

By bella! at 25,Sep,18 15:03 other posts of bella!

Well, there has been problems with beef and it seems more so with ground beef than with a, let's say, good steak. Try to go out and request a burger medium, medium rare or rare, it ain't going to happen.

By kebmo at 25,Sep,18 19:59 other posts of kebmo

I worked in Banff Alberta for ten years in restaurants. We could always identify the American tourists when they ordered their burgers medium rare. We always declined because of the E.coli risk. Some of them got a bit overly vociferous about it but in the end their burger was well done or they ordered a steak done how they liked it.

By #562152 at 26,Sep,18 11:35

The 1938 edition of Larousse Gastronomique describes steak tartare as raw ground beef served with a raw egg yolk, without any mention of tartar sauce.

Leo, that's why we didn't serve medium rare burgers. Explaining e-coli to tourists that wanted their burgers medium rare was an ongoing exercise in futility.

I have never been able to eat it, same with prime rib. I can’t stand the sight of raw meat. Where I’m from there’s a particular cut called milanesa, I like to marinate it in mojo criollo and then grill them. So yummy.

By kebmo at 28,Sep,18 21:19 other posts of kebmo

More Trivia: Milanesa is borrowed by South Americans from Italian cooking (Milan). The citrus juice in mojo criollo breaks down the meat fibres and makes the meat tender.

By #562152 at 28,Sep,18 21:23

So,you like milanesa, thin steaks from bola or cañada? I bread it and fry it. Sometimes after light frying I cover them in tomato sauce,green olives, onion and artichoke hearts and cover that with mutzarella cheese and stick it in a 350* oven for 20 min. That is milanesa a la Napolitana

By bella! at 01,Oct,18 23:49 other posts of bella!

I had to Google mojo criollo and it comes back as being garlic sauce. Is that correct? Garlic is always good with beef!

Over the summer, I acquired a taste for vodka after I had a vodka and water while out to dinner. The brand I had was Deep Eddy and was lemon flavored.

Not to get off the subjects but, this a semi-private trivia thing.
We have a crap load of gay forums and silly threads. And, I've noticed that many times people's posts are ignored. I have a theory about that. I believe there's a group in these forums that have a private GROUP and there they agree to ignore certain members that either give them grief, an opposing view or maybe don't like the usual subjects these members post.What do you think??

Uh, I think this post, your post, is completely asinine. There, I said it.

EVERY post does not warrant a response and sometimes a member or members will say the same thing, different thread(s). Is it necessary for "ME" to agree or disagree with them with each and every one of their posts? I don't think so.

And I don't understand why you would post this content in a thread that was dedicated to trivia. Wouldn't your thread have been more suited to your post?

Bella, if I had bet $100 on your reaction, I would have won. And it's trivia to me. It's not important, it's unusual and by posting it in more than one thread, I know it will catch the eye of many members. If you want to know why,it started in Mr Blue's forum. And, now, I feel so worked up about it, I wrote a blog. Oh,there's a lot you don't understand about me. One is that I don't look for or care if you agree or disagree with my positions. But, I will argue them

The primary motivation of men going to fight in a war is sex. They are willing to risk their lives because they know they can fuck a lot of women and get away with it.

This has been the case since ancient times.

In recent times, for example, many soldiers from the US and Europe voluntarily fought in the Korean war and fucked thousands or millions of Korean women. Later, in the Vietnam war, it was the turn of Korean soldiers, together with US ones, who fucked Vietnamese girls.

As a minor compensation, in 1987, 21 thousand Asian ch1ldrem born from ra.pe by US soldiers were allowed to get a home in the US.

(Many) men go to war because they like to fuck as many women as possible.

Some of these men are later declared heroes.

There have been so MANY atrocities having to do with pillaging troops thru out history...Japanese invasion of Manchuria, Russian troops in Germany etc. The amount of complete SAVAGERY shown to women by JUST these 2 nations is NOT something to joke about. It was NOT sex these monsters wearing their nation's uniform participated in, but outright **** and torture. Followed by them killing these innocent women after they had used them.

By #562152 at 23,Sep,18 20:47

Men go to war because their governments tell them to. All wars are the result of certain men who are in power and push their countries into war. The maiming, the r.a.p.i.n.g, and indiscriminate killing of non-combatants occur because the troops are not kept under control and man,in it's basest setting, is an animal.

When a new Pope is chosen, white smoke can be seen emanating from a chimney on top of the Sistine Chapel. This white smoke is produced when chlor0form resin is burned. What are the odds that a Catholic priest would have access to chlor0form.

This one isn't about sex but it's an interesting trivia qustion.

Without looking it up, how many Countries occupy the North American Continent? And, bonus points for; How many Dependent Territories occupy the North American Continent.

More people in the US can name the countries of Asia or Europe than know how many countries are on the continent they live on.

Good Luck...

Here in 'Merica, the answer to your question these days would seem to be: "only ONE that matters."

(I believe there are 23 countries which make up all of North America, and 9 Dependent Territories.)

I believe that, 'occupying the North American Continent', are FOUR countries. That is NOT counting so-called 'Central America' nor the Caribbean or other islands.
They are Canada, USA, Mexico, and France.

Isn't St. Pierre Miquelon a French Colony that's owned by France, just asking?
--------------------------------------- added after 4 minutes

During the 1920s and the American prohibition, Saint-Pierre and Miquelon featured prominently in efforts to smuggle alcohol into the US, with infamous mobsters setting up operations on the island. In fact, even Al Capone used the islands, and was a client of Hotel Robert, a hotel that still operates to this day.

By kebmo at 25,Aug,18 15:42 other posts of kebmo

Yes, St. Pierre Miquelon is a French Colony with a population of about 6,500.

"Located off the western end of the Newfoundland's Burin Peninsula, the archipelago of Saint Pierre and Miquelon is composed of eight islands, totalling 242 square kilometres (93 sq mi), and of which only two are inhabited"

Another reason my own trivia question was added to some of the trivia games on some Cruises:

The USA is bordered by 3 countries?
['Bordered' is defined as contiguous, or within the 20 km./12.5 mi. 'out to sea' limit.
And 'countries' are defined as integral parts of a country, not dependencies.]

They are Canada, Mexico, and Russia.

Canada is also bordered by 3 countries?

The USA, France, and Denmark.

"In 2005, after Carson's death, it was revealed that he had made a habit of sending jokes to Dave Letterman via fax machine which Letterman would then sometimes incorporate into his monologues. The January 31, 2005, episode of the Late Show with David Letterman, which featured a tribute to Carson, began with a monologue by Letterman composed entirely of jokes written by Carson himself after his retirement."

By leopoldij at 18,Aug,18 13:12 other posts of leopoldij

You're right. Given that some churches have included paed0ph1lia as part of their practice, that many men have become priests in order to have sex with ch1ldren, we must assume, unless otherwise proven, that the primary motivation of men of church interested in ch1ldren was sex.

But we'll probably never know what they particular priest did. Neither will we ever know what percentage of ch1ldren was sexually abvsed in the past. 20%? 50%? 80%? We'll never know.

By #562152 at 18,Aug,18 13:17

I don't believe nor like religion (not God, religion) but, if there's any justice at all in the Universe, these priests will spend eternity in their own vision of hell,,

From today's paper:

_In 2010, Pope Benedict upgraded the sin of ordaining women to the category of "crime against sacraments", which puts it in the same category as the sin of clerical ch1ld abuse. In other words, ordaining a woman is as bad a sin as abus1ng a ch1ld._
