How long does a carp live? The common carp lives up to 25 years in the wild, and up to 40 years in captivity. The durable fish can survive in waters up to 90 degrees F, and can even withstand freezing for short periods. What was it that catapaulted Spring Heeled Jack into the publics imagination? Perhaps the best known incidents involving Spring Heeled Jack were the alleged attacks on two teenage girls, Lucy Scales 6 and Jane Alsop. The Alsop report was widely covered by the newspapers, while a single paper covered the Scales report, presumably because Alsop came from a comfortably well-off family whereas Scales came from a family of tradesmen. This coverage by newspapers fuelled the collective hysteria surrounding the case. How popular is Jane? British parents like the female name Jane a lot more than do American parents. Although it has been a very poplar name in both countries for the last 100 years, it consistently ranked Number 1 in England in the 1980s. Which two women founded the radical National Woman Suffrage Association in 1869? Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony. The National Suffrage Association was established by Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan N. Anthony with the primary goal to amend the U.S. Constitution. Their political actions included civil disobedience, illegal demonstrations and some public violent disturbances. Did Bert like being typecast? Bert Lahrs unforgettable performance in The Wizard of Oz in 1939 apparently hurt his career in films. He told friend George Burns that typecasting meant that they call me every time a role comes up for a cowardly lion. Otherwise, they dont call me.
