My doctor said I should stop picking my nose because it's sore and very red.

Coconuts kill more people each year then sharks do. Approximately 150 people are killed each year by coconuts.

The Answer To the Question of Life, The Universe, and Everything, actually.
Also, they found the question. It may be the wrong question (as it doesn't take into account the Golgafrinchams), but they found The Question none the less in a scene involving scrabble.

This requires proof; for all you know, the most educated man at every point in our species history actually believed that the earth was square.

If you restrict this to times when there was a reasonable potential for education, and the possibility of the existance of science (say, the Greeks onwards) then this is not true, except in its most literal case in which case the burden of proof is impossible to overcome, and thus that case is irrelevent.

Well, Plato and Aristotle both believed in a spherical earth, but I dunno if the Catholic church reverted to a flat-earth story when they took control. Here is an interesting article that says they didnt though.

I shall also jump on your corpse within this thread, which educated men? The curve of the earth was well known to sailors (their ships dissapeared below the horizon) and columbus set sail knowing the earth was round.

I don't believe they did - for example, Galileo's problems arose more from his breaking of a promise to the pope and his soapboxing heliocentrism than anything else. I don't know if the move towards empirical rather than abstract "science" helped this divide on a bit as well.
I was actually discussing this fine bit of disinformation the other week with my Physics supervisor, and he's a learned man with a bushy moustache so he's probably to be believed.
Also don't forget that the Greeks actually had a pretty good stab at the radius of the Earth.

If everyone on earth were supposed to consume as much food etc as China does, we'd only need 0,8 earths.
If everyone on earth were supposed to consume as much food etc as Norway does, we'd need 3,5 earths.

In a city in the us (can't remember the name) it is illegal to shoot a whale from a moving car.
and in the early 1900's when women drove a car, their husband had to run in front of it waving a red flag...

If we could reduce the whole human race to 10 children sitting around a table:
* 3 would have plates that are heaped so high that they will never finish what is there.
* 2 will just about manage to live by scavenging what is thrown away from the three.
* 3 will be permanently hungry
* 2 will die, one of dysentery and one of pneumonia.

oh dear. wrong on both counts. the process stopped in 1896, and there was no gender basis for it. but well done for almost knowing a fact in a thread where you post facts you know

Surely the correction of a 'fact' is tantamount to a valid contribution. Assuming a non-trivial correction it effectively results in a 'new fact'.

I'm sure the Russian and Chinese military, in order to avoid a conflict with the reputable Chico sherrif's department, have probably made arrangements to detonate any nuclear device above the city, avoiding the possibility of running into trouble by breaking the city's laws.
