i got nine out of ten, but im not sure which one i got wrong :(

[ximinez]

Which one? The test doesn't say which ones you got wrong or right.

I'm thinkin' I got the year of the Constitution's writing wrong. Need to double check that one of these years.

"1789, isnt it?"

No, try lower and slower ;)

that wasn't even one of the options.

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

in 17-- i'm told our founding fathers did agree
to write a list of principles for keeping people free
the USA was just starting out, a whole brand-new country
and so our people spelled it out, the things that we should be

of course, sagan's favorite one is "the train song" aka conjunction junction.

words and phrases and clauses and words and phrases and clauses and words and phrases and clauses and words and phrases and clauses and words and phrases and clauses and...

September 17, 1787

...It took effect in 1789

I think I said 1786. The round number sounded better.

Hm... I bet Anna's gettin' old enough to watch those a bit. I bet she'd like the songs.

[loucheroo.livejournal.com]

BAH! why didnt i think schoolhouse rock? :(

grrrr i KNEW it was 1787... the preamble song is one of my faves! *sigh*

We have the DVD and she likes the songs. I'm already on top of it.

[ximinez]

We still only have one kid, though, right?

I have the DVD where a bunch of alternative bands do covers of Schoolhouse Rock songs. Some are downright disturbing.

The only reason I know the words to the Preamble is because I learned the song.

I miss Electric Company. Anyone know where I can score "The Silent-E" song?

-Who can turn a maaaaan, into a maaaaane....
-Who can turn a caaaaan, into a caaaaane....
-It's el-e-men-ta-ry for silent E.
