Depends on how he's asking. Could also be ~34%, if he isn't thinking of a specific child's gender. To avoid ambiguity, a better way of phrasing would be "and they are not both girls".
I see you have an excellent grasp of traditional literary technique. By addressing a non-present audience (in this case, the lip-readers), you have created a subtle interplay between apostrophizing and apostrophes.
profit/prft/ -noun 1. Often, profits. a. pecuniary gain resulting from the employment of capital in any transaction. Compare gross profit, net profit. b. the ratio of such pecuniary gain to the amount of capital invested. c. returns, proceeds, or revenue, as from property or investments. 2. the monetary surplus left to a producer or employer after deducting wages, rent, cost of raw materials, etc.: The company works on a small margin of profit. 3. advantage; benefit; gain.

* Just 56% believe that the freedom to worship as one chooses extends to all religious groups, regardless of how extreme -- down 16 points from 72% in 2000.
What, and this is wrong? I don't want someone to start a religion based around running around stabbing people and have that be constitutionally protected.
* 58% of Americans would prevent protests during a funeral procession, even on public streets and sidewalks; and 74% would prevent public school students from wearing a T-shirt with a slogan that might offend others.
I think few would disagree that a kindergardener should not be allowed to come to school with "fuck you nigger" on his teeshirt. The protesters during a funeral procession are interrupting the free speech of the people in it, so that's a wash.
* 34% (lowest since the survey first was done in 1997) think the press "has too much freedom," but 60% of Americans disagree with the statement that the press tries to report the news without bias, and 62% believe the making up of stories is a widespread problem in the news media -- down only slightly from 2006.
Good, people are aware that authors have biases, and are willing to question what they hear on the news. That's excellent. There are a couple of instances where the press really ought to be obligated to do things that they aren't doing (for example, they put a huge hype about a suspect for a child molestation case, and then whoops conclusive evidence proves beyond a shadow of a doubt he's innocent and the redaction is buried somewhere on page D23 or never shown on TV).

Yes, I've read a documentary on that exact subject.
Weirdly enough, in Japan they actually do match up pretty well. Not sure if it's a legal thing or a cultural thing or what.
That doesn't make any sense.
Primitives wouldn't beat tom-toms. They'd still be using maps.
Not an "organism".

Just goes to show how difficult it will be to confirm whether or not any life found on Mars was there to begin with, or was introduced accidentally.
If I had this package, it would be incredibly easy for me to get a first post. Alas, I am outside their service area.

That's completely the wrong position for him.
He should be an editor at least.
He says the timeline is less than 20 years.
What, seven asterisks? I can't see that being very secure.
But look at the statistics!
Why, 40% of "illnesses" take place on mondays and fridays! That's almost half!
Ah, I was assuming that the section he had in quotes was what he was complaining about.

That's a common misconception. The US is still the #1 manufacturer in the world.
I can't imagine how you'd argue the ticket simply by saying, "I know it's not the right speed limit!"
Actually, if you can prove that the speed limit posted is in violation of the regulations, you can get out of your ticket.
Man, yesterday I totally went speeding at over nine thousand kilometers per hour. It was intense!
Specifically, a Beowulf cluster of pedants.
Actually, the more effective method would be to get up a half hour later each day and continue for over a month.
