I love my T.V. shows as much as the next person (those shows would be Lost, 24, Heroes and The Office), but these statistics were rather disturbing to me. A recent America Online poll revealed these statistics:
77% of Americans can name the Seven Dwarfs,
24% can name two Supreme Court Justices.
60% identified Homer as the father of Bart Simpson,
21% could name one of Homer's epic Greek poems.
73% could name all Three Stooges,
42% could name all three branches of government.
60% knew Krypton was Superman's home planet,
37% knew Mercury was the closest planet to the sun.
23% could name Taylor Hicks as the last winner of American Idol,
11% could name Samuel Alito as the last Supreme Court justice to be confirmed.
