There's no such place. There's a "Cave of the Wind" in New York and Colorado and Wind Cave National Park in South Dakota.

Change Dominican Republic to Dominica, and the question will be right (not my question, just an easy fix without having to kill it):

just got this question that now needs to be changed...

How many astrological signs are there in 1 calendar year?
13
12 (marked correct)
10
15


this is technically correct if you follow the seasonal zodiac signs that most westerners use, but since a few days ago with the big uproar about zodiac sign changes, if you follow the astrological zodiac signs, there are now 13 astrological signs per calander year.

Where did cocoa beans originate from?
North America
South Africa
Peru
South America

Slightly odd to find Peru and South America as answers here as the correct answer is 'somewhere in South America' and, for all we know, it may have been where Peru is now.

I get madder every time I get asked this stupid, incorrect, nonsensical question.

One dog year equals how many human years?
7
6
8
5


ONE DOG YEAR EQUALS NO MORE OR LESS THAN ONE HUMAN YEAR. Prove otherwise by showing me a dog calendar, created and printed by dogs!

"Popular myth" - popular myth suggests that "one dog year equals seven human years" or the like. This is inaccurate on two scores, since the first year or two years represent some 18–25 years, and the ratio varies with size and breed. - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aging_in_dogs

"No more multiplying by 7 to learn your dog's age in people years. The DogAge Test measures your dog's biological age based on health, breed, risk of disease, and behavior. Start the test now! " - http://www.dogage.com/

"It is a common belief that 1 human year is equal to 7 dog years. That is not very accurate, since dogs reach adulthood within the first couple of years. The formula used above is from a canine expert and is a bit more accurate. (as accurate as one can judge these things)" - http://www.onlineconversion.com/dogyears.htm

http://www.pedigree.com/02All-Things-Dog/Dog-Age-Calculator/Default.aspx Try getting dog age multiplied by 7 there!

"When it comes to working out how old a dog is in human years, most of us approximate by multiplying ‘dog years’ by seven. But this is deceiving. The actual age of a dog in human terms depends on breed and size. " - http://www.purina.co.uk/Home/All+About+Dogs/Living+Together+Dog/ Get+More+Out+Of+Life+Dog/Your+Dogs+Age+In+Human+Years.htm

"A popular old wives' tale claims that one year of a dog's life is equal to seven human years. This has been proven to be false." - http://www.dogbreedinfo.com/age.htm

Is it possible, just possible, that someone who might be able to do something about this actually reads these posts? If so, please tell me why you keep this question in? Surely there is enough material given here to show that this is a BAD, INCORRECT question?

Please do me the favour of telling me when this question has been permanently removed from the database. Thank you.

Found this little tide-bit at http://wwp.greenwichmeantime.com/info/noon.htm

"A.M. and P.M. start immediately after Midnight and Noon (Midday) respectively.

This means that 00:00 A.M. or 00:00 P.M. (or 12:00 A.M. and 12:00 P.M.) have no meaning.

Every day starts precisely at midnight and A.M. starts immediately after that point in time e.g. 00:00:01 A.M."

Did some more search and all references I found either states that 12 AM or 12 PM is wrong, confusing, ambiguous, etc. so seems the question should be removed as ambiguous.

Even if you do cound 12:00 instead of 11:59 and than 00:00 common logic suggests the answer because everyone knows that 11:59 am is one minute before noon, therefore 12:00 am if exists can only be noon.

I do agree, but sadly the people that insist on using 12 AM/PM also insist on 12 AM being midnight, most likely because the 1st hour of the day is then 12:00-01:00 and not 0:00-1:00. But as I said earlier there is no standard notification for it.
