OK, now that the kids are in bed I can make a fool of myself and guess the answers. Normally, the more outrageous the claim the more likely it is to be true. However, I will try to just use common sense.

1. False. I suppose it is possible the Indians were huge people and thus had more blood, but I would guess they just had more red blood cells?

2. False. The steam engine was one of those 18th century inventions that changed the world so I doubt there was anything like it around as far back as the birth of Christ. Not only that, every lawn sprinkler I ever bought I just hooked up to the faucet and it spun around from the force of the water, not from energy used to boil it.

3. True. Oh, what the heck, maybe it did happen, although I never did see such a thing during any Kennedy documentary.

Trivia: No idea, but they must have something to do with Indians.
