3. Kofi Annan is the General Secretary.

Also, the first sentence refers to the "humanitarian chief." It's slightly deceptive, but in the end, what's the big deal; Egeland is a big shot at the UN. Perhaps just another case of too many "chiefs" and not enough Indians.

Isn't Jan Egeland the Humanitarian Chief at the UN?

10. The full poem goes

"'i' before 'e' except after 'c', or when sounded as 'a' as in 'neighbor' and 'weigh'".

Most people also don't know the rest of the "30 days hath September" song, either.

"All the rest have thirty-one,
except February alone.
Which has 28 in fine,
and each Leap Year 29"
