Lost Video Island

Ok, first of all, this is totally not cheating...

Nah, it really isn't. Anyway, my poly sci professor said to find the answers to these questions and we'd get extra credit, it's not in the book or anything.. so I googled them both, and I can't seem to find them!

So I was wondering if anyone knew (or has better googling skills than I).

1) What is the name of the "Forgotten Colony"?

Note: This is in America, and it is not Roanoke, which is the "Lost Colony". It's completely different. I haven't heard of it personally, but hey... it's forgotten.

2) What is the width of the centre aisle of the British House of Commons?

Note: He said that it is a specific answer, but it's not numeric. So, it's not going to be 79 1/2 inches or something like that. I have a feeling he means it will be like "2 arm lengths", or in that type of form (it can involve numbers, but it's not like inches/feet etc).

Anyone have any ideas? I need this by 10:30am, California time, this Thursday.

I will continue googling.

Thanks, Abby. I actually found that one last night. I should have revised my post.

No one knows the width one? No brits who learned this in History or something?
