TRUTH !!
It was implanted into a patient's body by Dr. Denton Cooley in Houston Texas on April 4, 1969. The patient lived for 65 hours, at which time the patient's body rejected the Dacron heart, and the patient died.
Incidentally, at then-candidate George W. Bush's request,Dr. Cooley evaluated Dick Cheney's condition of chronic heart problems prior to choosing him as his running mate.
 
Missed one and two and thought 8 was a "covey" not a "bevy". LT?

I thought covey, too.

HowStuffWorks:

"A covey (KUHV ee) is a name for a flock or group of quail. A covey may have 10 or fewer birds or as many as 100 or more, depending upon the species of quail."
 
Then I vote we accept "covey" as correct and edit our percentages accordingly! Looks like we all get 77% if we include the TorC and 75% without it.
