    How smart are you? Take the science test

    http://www.pewresearch.org/quiz/science-knowledge/

    Only 7% of adults get all 13 right.

    How did you do?

    13 of 13....But some of that had to do with the work I used to do...I also narrowed one down to 2 choices and used my best guess.....

    Yep, got all 13 correct too.
    An old Cherokee was teaching his grandson about life. "Inside me two wolves fight," he told the boy.
    "One is evil - he is anger, envy, greed, arrogance, self-pity, resentment, lies, false pride, and ego. The other is good - he is joy, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, generosity, truth and faith. The same fight is inside you - and every other person, too."
    The grandson thought for a minute and asked,"Which wolf will win?"
    The old Cherokee replied, "The one you feed."

    12 of 13. Could remember if fracking was related to coal or natural gas. Had it narrowed down to those 2 and guessed wrong. Oh well. I (re?) learned something new today.

    It appears fracking is short for hydraulic fracturing. Wiki article

    13 in less than a minute, but I have an argument with "scientists" believing that global warming is caused by CO2.
