Immigrations and Customs Enforcement announced a revamping of their citizenship test to make it more relevant. The new pool of 100 questions seeks to focus on more relevant topics in American government and not focus on obscure facts. Some folks say it's a fair question, immigration advocates say the test is now too hard, but I find it difficult to believe that when they have no-brainer questions like, "What happened on September 11, 2001?"

A sample of the new question pool can be found here. You need to answer six of the ten questions correctly to pass, I got seven right. The questions didn't seem that difficult to me. Most of these answers you can get if you read the newspapers and watch the right historical documentaries.

How many questions did you answer correctly?

As a result, his first choice for the part was Lance Henriksen. O. J. Simpson was on the shortlist but Cameron did not think that such a nice guy could be a ruthless killer. -From the Collector's Edition DVD of The Terminator
