Language Liberalism Freethought Birds
Verbing Weirds Language only if you're expecting it to work in a simple way. This is a special case of the more general truth that Language Weirds.
Only when a republic's life is in danger should a man uphold his government when it is in the wrong. There is no other time.
The church says Earth is flat; but I have seen its shadow on the moon, and I have more confidence in a shadow than the church.
If we can't find Heaven, there are always bluejays.
President who lived the longest after leaving office.

I used to teach Russian and Ukrainian, and some basic English, to civil servants. Now I teach Russian at a local continued-learning institute. I dabble in Gaelic and Welsh. I'm am amateur photographer and I love birding (in a small way). I'm a Progressive, and a Freethinker, and I know Evolution is a fact - that's FCD, Friend of Charles Darwin (look down the sidebar). I read a lot, and follow women's college basketball. Also I love astronomy, though I'm a rank amateur at it. Most of all, I like living in the reality-based community...

<-- Older Post ^ Home Newer Post -->I think maybe the real question is whether you actually did know it. I think it was a good guess, since it sounded right to me when you mentioned it, but, on the other hand, we know Carter was President a fairly long time ago and he's a contemporary, so that name might have jumped into mind whether right or wrong. The problem is that I have no idea how long other presidents lived after they left office, so sounding right is not necessarily a good indicator.
We customarily flip away from the station during the long commercial break between the end of Double Jeopardy and the revealing of the clue in Final Jeopardy, then flip back just in time. However, last night we got engrossed in something on another channel, so by the time we flipped back Alex was just finishing checking the contestants' answers, er, questions, and we didn't know what the clue had been till after he'd revealed that the solution was Carter. So we never got to go through the thought process (although I suspect one of us might've come up with him, at least through shared brainstorming, but we'll never know now!).
