Fun meme

[ambitious_wench]

It's been a while since I have participated in an LJ Meme. This one looks like fun!

Make a list of 10 statements about yourself:
* 4 of the 10 statements must be false.
* Post your list and have people guess which four are false!


1. I was once a rabid fundamentalist Christian.
2. My mother was married to a polygamist.
3. I saved my son's life by catching him by the hand as he slipped over the edge of a high cliff on a mountain.
4. I have been to the Labyrinthian Palace at Cnossos.
5. I have never been to any golf game, even when I was in St. Andrews during the British Open.
6. I was taught how to use chopsticks by Senator and linguist S. I. Hiakawa.
7. I've sung at a Pagan gathering hosted by Isaac Bonewitz at his invitation.
8. I've been the love-interest of Janet Farrar.
9. I have seen Margo Adler completely naked.
10. My grandfather successfully argued a case before the Supreme Court.

Will provide the facts later today.

Without any clue, and guessing wildly, the false ones are:

2. My mother was married to a polygamist.
3. I saved my son's life by catching him by the hand as he slipped over the edge of a high cliff on a mountain.
8. I've been the love-interest of Janet Farrar.
9. I have seen Margo Adler completely naked.

(Actually, I put these on a dart-board, and threw darts to pick them...)

2 out of four are correct.

Not bad for random chance, I'd say. Although lederhosen could probably give us a mathematical breakdown on the probability of randomly selecting 2 out of 4 possible wrong statements from a list of 10, I'd say the dartboard method did pretty good.

And I actually did throw 4 darts at a dartboard with my eyes closed, repeating only the 1 dart that landed on 2 twice and the 1 that landed on 11.

My guesses:
4, 6, 8, 10
