I misremembered. It wasn't about the plural, it was about the singular. I think Quayle thought potato should have an e at the end. There are some references which consider potatoe acceptable, but the vast majority consider it a misspelling. George -

I believe we're teetering on the verge of politics, but to set the record straight: The "potato" thing was bout correcting someone's spelling of the plural of potato. One was Quayle; the other, I think, was someone in middle school. One said potatoes, the other said potatos. The former was correct. The Jack Kennedy thing was during the Vice-Presidential debate with Lloyd Bentsen in 1988. Dukakis-Bentsen lost to Bush-Quayle by a whopping 420-111 electoral votes. George -
You're up, anyway. George

It was actually Bobby Darin, if that helps. George

Now every mornin', just about dawnin' When the sun began to shine She would rouse up, wake all of them cows up And walk them down to her daddy's mine Took the foot bridge, way 'cross the water Though she weighed 299 The old bridge trembled and disassembled Whoops, dumped her into the foamy brine It cracked like thunder, she went under Blowin' bubbles down the line I'm no swimmer, but were she slimmer

Okay. The series 1-1/2+1/3-1/4+1/5... is bounded. It approaches ln2 as the number of terms becomes infinite. Prove that 1+1/2+1/3+1/4+1/5... is unbounded, that is, it never approaches a finite number as the number of terms becomes infinite. I know two proofs; there may be more. I'm only asking for one.

Well, the song is "Hey Jude," but I don't remember the cover. George

Actually, she was 63 in GOM. George

Not resonating with me, either. I'm guessing the Waysider's "whipped" was a clue, but I'm not getting it. George

That's the one. George

No. I don't think Heatherton was in any of the movies. She was cute, though. George

I'm not sure if you're kidding. Bergen was in Carnal Knowledge but none of the others. George

Took me a while to remember, but it's Double Shot of My Baby's Love. George -
So BMI = 703W/H**2. Being thin reduces the numerator. Being tall increases the denominator. Height actually has a greater proportionate effect. A 10% drop in weight (same height) drops the BMI 10%. A 10% increase in height (same weight) drops the BMI 21%. Unfortunately, almost half of the presidents were 6"0" or taller. Clearly, we can rule out Taft and Trump. I'll try George H. Bush. George
