Citizenship offer.

Email will bring you the strangest offers, but I think someone just upped the ante. I can understand when they are trying to separate you from your money. I have written about several offers that I have had that would have made me "rich". I will point out I only open emails like this if there are no attachments. I do not want any viruses. As for this email, read it for yourself and then I will make my comments afterward.

This is one of those where do you begin dilemmas. Why is Canada offering to bring 11,623 people to Canada? Are they that hard up for people that they need to import some? At no point here do they ask for any money, although that might happen if I were to contact them. Obviously I am going to ignore this but I would like to know what exactly they were after. I am sure I will not find out, but I am curious.

Now on to the quiz. The calendar combines weekends, so the answer will be posted Monday. I am glad to say that my friends who replied yesterday were all correct. One of them should never miss considering he is a fifth grade teacher, right Jeff? The answer of course was 300. You know, I like that number. I think it would make a good movie title.

Today's question is a Grade 3 American History question, and considering I am a history buff I am ashamed to say I missed it. I will explain a little more about that Monday.

What is another name for the Anasazi people who made homes out of rock in what is now the southwestern United States?
