Zogby Poll: Most Americans Can Name Three Stooges, But Not Three Branches of Gov't Tuesday, August 15, 2006 By Brit Hume
A recent poll found that nearly three-quarters of those asked could name each of the Three Stooges — Larry, Curly and Moe — but only 42 percent were able to name the legislative, executive and judicial branches of government.
That's according to a new Zogby poll in which 77 percent of Americans could name two of the seven dwarfs, while just 24 percent knew two of the nine Supreme Court justices.
And while 57 percent of Americans could name fictional boy wizard Harry Potter, less than half could name Great Britain's real prime minister, Tony Blair.

Actually, from my own experience, I can say that most people don't even know there were SIX STOOGES ALTOGETHER, let alone being able to name them all.
