Harper's Index? Am I the only one who never knew about this ?

What an unusual "resource".. It's kind of like Google.. type anything in the search box, and all kinds of unusual things "pop up"..

If you ever have to come up with some odd questions, this is your place:)

1. Yes you are the only person...

in the US, when an individual reaches the age of 16, he or she is indoctrinated into the Harper's Index community. You must have thrown away the postcard thinking that it was a solicitation for the magazine!

2. Thank you for this.......and no, you're not alone.

Hadn't a clue. Of course, I'm a Canadian, so I didn't get the postcard.....

It didn't have "rational fractions", "hogweed", or "prepuce".

3. Pre-internet, that was a prime source

for did-you-know factoids.

Harper's was also my lifeline to sanity during the Reagan years.
