Guest TheProudDuck Posted March 23, 2005 Report Share Posted March 23, 2005 Off the top of my head: 1. Bottom. 2. 46. (It's a trick question; I'll explain if nobody gets it.) 3. Right. 4. Red, white, gold, black ... what are the other two? 8. Red. 10. It varies based on irregularities in the tub's surface. There is a misconception that the water goes down counterclockwise in the Northern Hemisphere and clockwise down under due to the Coriolis effect, but that would only happen if the tub's drain were machined and installed perfectly flat, pretty much down to the molecular level, which isn't possible. 13. Left, from the woman's perspective. 16. Ten. 17. Left. 20. Bashful. 22. Joker. 27. Counter. (At least the ones my daughter's addicted to.) I don't know the rest, although I could probably cheat and look at a pencil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wondered about that also ~ if anything wouldn't it be more with Porta Rico and quantonamobay? (sp) and isn't there other places we pretty much own and operate?

Kentucky, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and one other state I can't remember are formally named "commonwealths" rather than states But they're treated as states, so for all practical purposes they're states.
