She speaks for most people of the United States, I believe. Gawd! Politicians! Do something good for the country and stop the inane inter-partisan bickering!

Unsolicited gifts are still gifts. It's actually a law, generally speaking. The bank should have insurance to cover their inept teller actions, and the kid should be allowed to keep whatever they gave him.

1. If you already saw the plane crash why would you need to take a photo of it? It's already recorded in your brain and you can call it back whenever you wish to see it. Sounds redundant to me.

2. Cutting crosswise or lengthwise? SUDAFEDĀ® 12 Hour or SUDAFEDĀ® 12 Hour Pressure+Pain? Time is relative anyways. Do not try to cut the pill. That's impossible. There is no pill.

3. Yes.

Interesting, but this is a repeat of history. Ages ago it was common for an individual's surname to relate to his profession. Whether this was by hereditary casting where the son followed in his fathers profession or as a way to assign surnames to those that didn't have them, I don't know. I wasn't there. But, the real question is: Which came first - the surname, or the profession, within the family lines?

And, like any inherited feature, such things as professional choice can skip generations, and be merged through marriage with other families who would, somewhat naturally, share similar professions within the family's social circle resulting in strengthening of the surname-profession link.

In reality, though, such connections are more likely in caste states and less so in places where a child is free to choose their own profession. Still, a fair amount of coincidence and marketing would come into play here also. Consider whether poop was called crap before Thomas Crapper popularized the common toilet and you get an idea of how history can move backwards instead of forwards.

Also, when a town had a predominant industry, and a large localized family, it would not be unheard of to find that the industry had a direct relation to the family that ran it. Again, which came first, the family, or the industry?

All in all, I'd say that the theory of this research is somewhat improbable in its application. But my name-number doesn't indicate that I'm a scientist so what do I know?
