Thought some of you might like this. Parable of Isms. Socialism: Communism: Fascism: New Dealism: Nazism: Capitalism: And for you hunters/mathematicians....... Thirty birds sit on the upper branches of a tree. If a so-called "sportsman" fires a volley of buckshot and kills "one half" of "two thirds" of them, how many birds would be left? | ||

None. No bird would stay after the first shot. Carry's mother had four children not to mention a rather unhealthy fixation about monetary names. The oldest child was named "Quarter". The second child was named "Dimeond". The third child was named "Nicklass". What was the fourth child and only girl likely named ?

Well either A: they would all be left just some would be dead. B: 10 2/3 of 30 = 20 1/2 of 20 =10 c: As someone said 0 they remaining will fly away | ||

math wise 10 would be left. 2/3 of 30 is 20 divided by 2 = 10 eze | ||

20 birds would be left. Technically though, the living ones would all fly away. | ||
