> Hi, all. I have a project I'd like you to help me with. I need some statistical data, so it would be keen if you'd all take a minute or six to answer the following five questions. Be as terse or an verbose as you wish. And it would help if you didn't read any other responses before responding. Again, thank you for your time.

> 1. Who is/was the Ayatollah Khomeini?
>

I can't even pronounce that, let alone tell you what he is/was.

> 2. Is there a difference between the Republic of China and the Peoples' Republic of China? If so, what is it?
>

Republic of China is a republic, is the "real" government of China and is in exile on the island of Taiwan. People's Republic of China is not for the people, not a republic, and, while it occupies China's land mass, is not the "real" government of China.

> 3. Is paganism a religion? If so, why? If not, why not?
>

Paganism is a general term for the religion of people who don't understand that no, sacrificing yourself to the god of ginger ale will not appease him. (;-)

> 4. Was the Setpember 11, 2001, terrorist attack on the United States (committed by the Arab terrorist group Al Qaeda) a response to the United States' pro-Israel Middle East policy? If so, why? If not, why not?
>

Setpember 11? I didn't know anything happened on Setpember 11! Come to think of it, I didn't even know there was a month called Setpember!

> 5. What is the meaning of life?

To glorify God. Other than that, only He knows.
