This is the longest word in any English dictionary. However, it was coined by Everett Smith, the President of The National Puzzlers' League, in 1935 purely for the purpose of inventing a new "longest word". The Oxford English Dictionary described the word as factitious. Nevertheless it also appears in the Webster's, Random House, and Chambers dictionaries.

For every person in New Zealand, there are 8 sheep.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Population of New Zealand: 4,095,885

 

 

 

Population of Sheep: 39,255,000

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

People Sheep Ratio

 

 

 

1 : 9.6

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So this is wrong, for every person there is 9 sheep, or for every 10 people there are 96 sheep.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

There are also 1.2 diary cattle for every person, and a similar amount of beef cattle. But only 0.4 deer (farmed) for every person.

can you edit and stick a few enters in there so that the board isn't completely trashed?

Goals to get my skills back up to a barely respectable level on the high scores:

Think of this as the "Pub Ammo" thread. Post interesting, and yet utterly useless facts.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The skin on your elbow it called your Weenus.

 

 

 

You cannot lick your elbows. 50% of people will try to lick their elbow after reading this fact.

 

 

 

Studies prove that if your friend won't tell you where their birth mark is, it's on their wagon or privates.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Keep it safe for work, and keep it interesting. These topics are always fun no matter what :)

 

 

 

Wrong, some nerd in my class 2 years ago could do it :) [/b]

that would be more of a test for the 'word reading people' (they have titles?) than the students. or maybe they could jsut key it into one of those machines that stephen hawkings uses (though it might run out of memory)
