Similar to the legend of the naming of Whynot, North Carolina.  The
Post Office asked the people what they wanted their post office to be
called.  After a long evening of debating "Why not call it this" and
"Why not call it that," someone blurted "Why not call it Whynot?"

A number of place-naming legends (urban and otherwise; accepted or
not by historians) can be found in _The North Carolina Gazetteer_
by Prof. William Powell (Chapel Hill: Univ. of N.C. Press) and 
_Place Names of the Outer Banks_ (I don't know the author/publisher
offhand).  The latter has various alternative origins of "Nags Head",
"Kill Devil Hills", "Kitty Hawk", etc.  There are doubtless similar 
books covering other parts of the world.

	Perhaps you should have paid more attention in chemistry at high school.
Table salt is NaCl - If you had more than very small amounts of NaOH (often
a component in drain cleaners along with KOH) in you, you would be very sick

Newsgroups: alt.folklore.urban
Subject:    UL: Statistics in Media are Accurate and Credible

There have been a number of examples in the media (and posted in this
group) of statistics that have a poor basis in fact.

The most recent example I heard was regarding 10% of population being of
Homosexual orientation based on misunderstanding of an old study.  Not only
is the understanding flawed, but applying the results of the study to the
population at large is a tremendous falacy: prison population may not be
(IMHO: *is not*) representative of the population at large.

Not only is prison population not representative of the general population
(look at the breakdown of race/sex/age in prison vs. non-prisoners), but
due to the limited availability of Heterosexual release, one might engage
in Homosexual activities over a long period of time as an alternative.

Another Media statistics that has been proven wrong - the number of children
kidnapped each year.  I also wonder how the most recent figure of women
earning $0.70/men earning $1.00 was arrived at.  Are "apples" and "apples"
being compared?  Are equivalent levels of education, equivalent levels of
experience, equivalent levels of work effort (hours on job) being compared?

I remember reading in one book that, in general, women put in fewer hours
than men during their careers.  I'm not looking for flames and *do* believe
in equal opportunity, but assuming a man and a woman with equivalent
education/experience/abilities/skills who work the same number of hours
per day and take the same number of personal/sick/vacation days per year -
they should earn equal incomes.  But change the picture a little and have
the woman take six weeks off to have a baby (ignoring the extra sick days
she may have taken) - now who works more hours for their income?

Of the two, which gives more hours (minutes?) for their dollar of pay with
equal annual salaries?  If a company would base the salary on an internal
calculation of $/hour, under these conditions, wouldn't it make sense to
pay the man more (for more hours) and the woman less (for fewer hours)?

{I know I'll get flames for this one}

My father's personal variation of this practice was to insert the

Fiction.  They're ALL counted.  However, counting doesn't start until the polls
close, hence, in close elections in crooked states, it's often been rather easy
to accidentally "lose" the absentee ballots of people who voted on the side the
current regime wants to see lose.

WADR, I was a Brandeis tour guide, and I dutifully told the story about
Gerstenzang inventing the Q-tip.  I'm curious if you have a source, or if
you just heard it from another tour guide, or if the admissions office
incorporated it into the shpiel without checking to see if it was accurate,
or, if, indeed, it *is* accurate.

I'll have to check my books again, but I think the 60' is not enough. However,
you do write "can", and I'll probably leave it at that. Your number for oxygen
is equally vague, but shouldn't be too bad. I think my books say that 1.7 atm
(partial pressure) is ok with a good margin. 2 atm is in the red.

Another problem is airborne pollution. Compressed air is compressed pollution.
