  • C Chris Meech

    Chris - 339,693 people with Chris as first name. 89.14% are male. Meech - 670 people with Meech as last name. Chris Meech - only 1 person in United States with that name. And it ain't me. :cool: It would be weird to meet this individual and find there is some family resemblance. Especially considering my UEL history. :)

    My result was 'one or less'. So, I suspect that the smaller the number, the more likely the DB will have an unacceptable margin of error.

        Hmph. I thought Graus was a sure fire ticket to being a little special. How many with your full name ? Mine came up blank.

        As I remember it, Germans are the largest ethnic group in the US. Even bigger than English and Irish.

        You measure democracy by the freedom it gives its dissidents, not the freedom it gives its assimilated conformists.

          They are. Come up with something odd enough and it'll say 1 or less.

          There is one or less of me and, clearly, there is one.

                    UEL. Big part of Canadian history, but maybe not so for American history. United Empire Loyalists. These were groups of people who emigrated to Canada from the colonies during and after independance to show their loyalty to the crown. In my partcular case, my ancestor was one Asa Meech for whom Meech Lake is named for. In his case he was expelled from the United States because of his preachings of remaining loyal to the crown many years following independance. :) The first result of a Google.ca search is this link[^]. Nice touch that it mentions family camping since 1784. :laugh:

                      Still doesn't answer the question, Oh Brainiac! Also, and importantly, as all but idiots know, intelligence is not simply a matter of collecting facts, but rather is the inate ability to integrate the facts one has collected. It would seem to me that "dumb as a stump" might more profitably be applied to those who do not understand what "dumb as a stump" means.

                        Ah! Those old "traitors" ;P ... and, apparently, the reason so many Canadian always imagine themselves to be so morally superior to Americans. As you surely know, the phrase "United Empire Loyalists" is not used in the US. We call them "Tories" (or "traitors," though that's not at all fair).

                                        What *is* your problem? ... I have to tell you, from here it looks like intellectual dishonesty. I made reference to a fact[^]; namely that many Canadians imagine themselves to be morally superior to Americans. I didn't state the further fact that for many (most?) this imagined moral superiority resides entirely in the fact that they're not Americans. I *also* didn't say anything about "need"[^] ... that was you[^].
