The New Orleans Saints still hold the NFL field goal record for 63 yards (has been tied) by Tom Dempsey.

And he had half of a foot when he did it.

The volume of air aTop Fuel dragster pumps through its engine in a single 1/4 mile run is enough to fill the Goodyear blimp.

It takes just 15/100ths of a second for all 7,000 horsepower of a Top Fuel dragster engine to reach the rear wheels.

Top Fuel dragsters can exceed 280 mph in just 660 feet.

So useless.

Here are some facts I know:


SMF stands for Super Mario Flash


GML stands for Game Maker Language


In GML it is possible to do if relative


ZC stands for Zelda Classic


In SMF 2 there is only one tile that can move back and forth horizontally the rest are impossible to get to move back and forth horizontally


ZC was not made with Game Maker


Mark Overmars knows literally all of GML

You have never been laid.

Cool. I didn't know such a thing existed.
Apparently Manhattan was purchased for about $16 in the 1600's. If that money was invested and allowed to grow at a rate of 8%, it would still be enough money to buy all of Manhattan today.

There is only one word in the English language (along with it's derivatives) that has back-to-back-to-back double letters (two of the same). Like: aa-oo-tt

I read this in a weird facts book when I was a kid, so I assume it's true. Any guesses?

It's an incorrect question. There is not just one word.

So - besides bookkeeper and words derived from it name another one.

Like I said the question is flawed. The correct question is the word with 3 sets of double letters in it back to back.

coffee / toffee are two most here probably have the former every day and the latter sometimes.

Keep in mind a dictionary also often has common "non-English" words as well.

Bookkeeper opens up bookkeeping.

[edit] ignore the below...I have been drinking and got carried away with double letter words.
Mississippi should be in the head's of most American's.

You also have aggressiveness.

Tallahassee for us Floridian's.

Heedlessness.

Committee.

I think I have successfully answered your question.

[/edit]

sweet-toothed is in the dictionary.

The correct question if bookkeeper is the only answer is "What root word in the English Dictionary is the only word to have three sets of consecutive double letters in it back to back?

I think you misread:

back-to-back-to-back, my friend.

And bookkeeping is derived from bookkeeper, and is thusly covered.

You have never done anything successfully. Oh, wait, no, you fail exceedingly well.


BTW, if a bookkeeper had an assistant would that person be the subbookkeeper? Back-to-back-to-back-to-back.
