Fact: Jupiter is the biggest planet. Let's say I come along and say Pluto is the biggest planet. What would that be called. Can it be called a fact until proven otherwise or something else?

I have been challenged to create as many insulting sentences as I can.

I need insulting adjectives.

I have ones like lazy, nasty, obnoxious, spoiled, vulgar, careless, dull, ignorant, insensitive, repugnant, gross and nauseating.

What ones come to your mind?

Here's the sentence I want to use: "We serve over 140,000 students with over 40,000 books." Is it correct to use the word 'over' or should I only use 'more than'? If it's not correct to say 'over' please explain why. Thank you!

Would you possibly tell me what is right in these sentences?
because if the sentences is:
Do you know who I am? which would be the negative form:
1.Do you know who I amn't?
2.Do you know who aren't I ?
3.Do you know who ain't?
Please explain and give examples.
Thank you I'll appreciate for helping me.

Don't you know who I am?

If a message is encrypted with more than one encryption method, is it technically solvable? For example, if I encode a message using Vigenere ciphering and then I re-encoded this output using a poly-symbolic, non-letter alphabet would it be possible to decrypt? Without character frequencies (lost with the Vigenere) and pattern recognition (hidden by the poly-symbolic alphabet) I can't see how it could be done.
