Technically, that\'s wrong. Though the statement should say \'whole numbers\'. The use of the word \'and\' in numbers (when writing them out properly) is to indicate a decimal place.
So \'one hundred and one\' written numerically is 100.1.

Got that from a banker.

Far as I know, the first couple shown sharing the same bed was Mr. + Mrs. Brady. Could be wrong, though. Mighta been Edith and Archie Bunker?
Or maybe the Cleavers?

One of those three couples, I\'m sure.

Tying \'I am\' as shortest sentence: \'I do\'.
Maybe we should count pixels?

and replacing add.

our entire addition tables is a long list of one and one is two etc.

onehundred add one is just an odd thing to say, although it still has an A in it. :p

I do think once I saw Mrs. Cleaver look very perplexed and walking very funny and then said to Ward...\"My, you were awfully hard on the Beaver last night\"


And then there was that time when Cindy Brady was having trouble with bed wetting and came rushing into Mike and Carol\'s bedroom only to find them dressed to the hilt in S&M clothing being whipped by Sam the Butcher. I\'m sure that was the first time that was on TV.

I may have only dreamt some of that...I get so confused nowadays.

Ehm... it\'s my understanding that, \"I do\" is in fact the beginning of the longest sentence.

But how about a simple, \"Yes.\" as the shortest sentence? Is \"Yes.\" grammatically complete?

As a fan of the St Louis Rams I have to point out that we play in a domed stadium and won Super Bowl XXXIV.

I think gramatically \"I am\" is the shortest complete sentence having both a subject and a verb forming a complete thought. \"I do\" does not qualify becuase it is not a complete thought.

On a similar vein, I have heard \"Go\" listed as the shortest sentence. The noun \"you\" is implied and not necessary to be stated. This would not work for the same reason \"I do\" doesn\'t work. Taken on it\'s own, it doesn\'t form a complete thought.

THANK YOU!!

I remember that USED to be a fact, but couldn\'t remember which team did it....

Kurt Warner and the Best Show on Turf did it! I used to work for Warner\'s dad, and Kurt and I attended the same college (although years apart, and I never actually graduated...LOL)

lol NSA, got an answer for everything.

I loved this bit in the origins of the word Fu*k link; \"In 1948, the publishers of Norman Mailer’s The Naked and the Dead forced him to bowdlerise it as fug, leading to the (surely apocryphal) story that Dorothy Parker remarked on meeting him, “So you’re the young man who can’t spell
f*ck?\"
lol Priceless!

Shoot away Mr farseerlum! They are not my facts, they came to me in an email. I thought there were some interesting stuff there so I posted. :D

I actually think its cool that all ya\'ll are spending time to check the facts. It has made for an intersting thread.

I thought that mind your q\'s and p\'s came from the early days of movable type. I looked it uq on wikiqeia.org and they mentioned the qints and puarts origin as being idiomatic to the UK.
