Spain HAD to have been one of the countries. There simply is no way it could not have been. Both the territory from the Louisiana Purchase and the Mexican Cession were at one time claimed by Spain.

However, my guess is that your trick question is referring to the once independent country of Texas.

It's not a trick question if it's fact. :D

Admitted that he had lusted after other women.

Barry Goldwater's campaign slogan had been,

"Barry Goldwater. In your heart you know he's right".

Hence,

“Jimmy Carter. In his heart, he knows your wife”.

You must have read the question wrong. Tony Gwynn once stole five plates of food from unsuspecting people near his table at a restaurant.

Actually, Walsh was the first one to come to mind, but I then thought of Noll. For some reason I was thinking that '72 was his rookie season, and there was no way he could have racked up 100 career regular season wins in that short a time. This might actually qualify as a trick question, since Noll racked up exactly 100 career regular-season victories by the time he won his third Super Bowl. http://www.pittsburghsteelers.co.uk/ste ... lpage1.htm

Btw, since I'm on a roll . . .

The question is very clear. The last time I checked, the number 100 is not less than 100. Am I missing something, tard?

Trick question, as in designed to elicit a wrong answer.

A brain, a personality and taste in women, for starters.

A personality? Debatable. I am an asshole, and proud of it, btw... but I think my posts have generated at least 100 times (this means 100 or more, btw) more chuckles than yours over the years.

Taste in women? I am not the loser who had to marry a N|igger... you?

Not even close.

I don't know about you, but I don't google HDC questions. I either know it, or sometimes take an educated guess.

In this case, I googled only after ocmike answered the question, since he's been known to do so incorrectly a time or two in the past. I knew that (a) Noll won three Super Bowls, and (b) did so before Walsh. So the only possible exclusion of Noll could have been 100 or more wins prior to the third Supre Bowl win.

I didn't know exactly how many wins Noll had before winning his third Super Bowl (and I doubt that few if any here did), but I knew that in all but the last season (he got his third Super Bowl after the '78 season, when you probably weren't yet able to feed yourself), the NFL had a 14-game season. I took an educated guess that Noll had less than 100 wins. It turned out that he had exactly 100.

In other words, if Noll had had one fewer win through the '78 season, he would have been the answer to that question. It's entirely reasonable to be off by one win in one's guesstimation of Noll's win total through the '78 season.

So how is that fucking up simple math?
