To be fair, the population number said "million" and didn't have any zeros, so an easy mistake to make. Besides, in journalism indoctrination school the $1,000,000 per person number would have been close enough to get extra credit on the exam.

I was going to type more here but I have to take a break to go decide if I am going to laugh or cry. Frown

Where was this Mara Gay when I was young and dating. Something tells me it would take little to no effort to get into her pants if that's the mental capacity she's working with.

C'mon people, cut Brian some slack! Don't you remember his helicopter got shot down in Iraq?

Good point. No one remembers, not even the CH-47 crew!

You mean after the incubation period?

She was not corrected because no one there was smart enough to catch the error.

As far as this being grade school math, maybe in the 60's. I doubt a middle schooler could figure this one now.
