Coming in Second


It’s usually easy to figure out the city with the biggest number of people in any US state. The second-most populous city doesn’t get as much press about that fact. Can you guess the second most populous city in 15 states? Take the Lunchtime Quiz today at mental_floss! I scored 73%, which is below the average so far (but before the quiz was made public). How did YOU do? http://www.mentalfloss.com/blogs/archives/15840

I got 60%. I picked the 3rd most populous for some (and some were close). I'm Canadian, though, so it's a bit more tricky.

Speaking of which, that would make a devilishly difficult quiz: Which city in a given province is the second most populous? Even most Canadians would probably fail that one!

I always thought that was one of the dumbest parts of Star Wars (or course the complete list of dumb Star Wars things would take several dozen pages).

Star travel, light sabers, energy weapons, lifelike prosthetics, huge death stars, all easy peasy - but make a robot droid that could speak english (even though it could understand english) - that's just crazy talk.

Oh wait, they make a bipedal humanoid robot that could speak nine zillion languages (i.e C3PO) but they couldn't find enough space to jam a single language chip into R2D2 (a wheel based robot) - or even a LCD text display - WTF?
