All of the year end stats are coming out about what we cared about, worried about and thought was "hot" in 2010.
Remember, this was the year of foreclosures, bankruptcies and the oil spill. Not to mention our country's dismal education record.
In the world's most recognized standardized test for 15-year-olds, the Pisa, Shanghai ranked # One. The U. S. ranked 17th in reading comprehension and 37th in math.
But even though we didn't care much about reading and math - one of the people who interested us the most in in U.S. in 2010 was Lady GaGa. So here's a test for you. Do you know what kind of beef was used in Lady GaGa's famous raw meat dress?
Answer: Flank steak!
If only that had been one of the questions on the Pisa test.
