A few years ago a construction crew dug a hole behind a fast-food place on Long Island found a complete subway system built in the 1920s which ran out to the Hamptons. It had platforms, rails and even lighting fixtures. They called it the South Fork subway. Did they ever put it to use?

9 AnswersGovernment1 decade agoWhy Do They Want To Lie To Get Into The Service?

29 AnswersBaseball1 decade agoDo They Know The Difference?

Lots of questions in this category from folks with a history of ADD/ADHD, Bi-Polar, Depression, etc. All conditions which render them disqualified for the armed forces.
