This one is worth 2 points:
What kind of animal was the first animal in space, and what was its name?

[impulse]

A mouse named Laika... I know that one!

[Frizzo the Clown]

a monkey named Albert II, I believe.

[Drizzt240]

A mouse named Laika... I know that one!
I'm sorry, you don't know it, but your close ;)

EDIT: Sorry Frizzo, not it either.

[impulse]

that's wrong Frizzo... (it better be) which one is it Drzzzt?

[Frizzo the Clown]

A mouse named Laika... I know that one!
Laika was a dog. And that wasn't until 1957. Albert II was launched into space in 1949, nearly 10 years before. ;)

[Drizzt240]

Whoaaaa................ the answer I was looking for was the dog, but since Frizzo knows better I'll accept his.

New question 1 point

Out of curiosity, where did you get that number from? Because I don't see how it could possibly be right, unless my math is just way off. I mean, multipying 78 by 365 gives you 28470. There were certianly more than 9 leap years in the 78 year stretch, so it has to be much higher.

[impulse]

good question...

[Frizzo the Clown]

Oh, and I think the answer to the question is Mercury and Venus.

[impulse]

I remember some guy named Burnsides being the basis for them. It seems like he was a general in early American history.

[Frizzo the Clown]

Thats a tough one. Seems any answer could be arguable, really...

[Drizzt240]

Then I seriously think you need to recheck your source on that one about the days. The math is way off. My answer might be wrong, but its certianly a lot closer than whatever your source has.


Oh, and what about the question you asked about which two planets don't have moons? I don't think you credited anyone with that.

One more thing....I think the answer to this question is Samuel Colt.

[Drizzt240]

Okay, I've looked into the day question myself and I get 28489 myself. I'm hoping this was an isolated event and I'm guessing it was a typo. I think someone accidently put a 7 instead of an 8 and to make this less cofusing I've decided to make each question 1 point.

BTW I took earth sciences classes in Uni. And have been to southern Chile. I have always heard 9.5.

[Drizzt240]

So we have a bunch of searchers on our hands..........

9.7 in Chile was the one I was going for.

Last question for me tonight.

Name all the colors that the Model T Ford came in?

[equipe]

black

[Frizzo the Clown]

Green, red, blue, grey and black. Black didn't become the only color available 1913, when Ford optimized the assembly line.

[stonefaced_1]

I'm pretty sure they only came in black. I think I read somewhere once that they only came in black because black dried faster than other colors.

[Tornado]

It's interesting actually. My US History teacher does this thing in his class like "this day in history" and a few days back he touched upon this exact topic. While, I don't know for SURE, he said that the only color it originally came in was black.

[Frizzo the Clown]

I'm pretty sure they only came in black. I think I read somewhere once that they only came in black because black dried faster than other colors.
At first it came in other colours. But once Ford got his "assembly line" really going, about 1913, I think, they switched to all black because, like you said, it dried much faster. In fact, the first year the car was made, black wasn't even available, I believe. But that was for only a very short time. For nearly all of its run, black was the only colour.

[stonefaced_1]

I think you are right. I do remember hearing something like that a loooong time ago. Drizzit should of structured the question differently. I am just going to give both of you a point.

In what natural disaster is more energy released (inside of ten minutes) than all the world's nuclear weapons combined?

[Tornado]

Probably a tornado.

[stonefaced_1]

Nope.

[Frizzo the Clown]

Isn't it a hurricane?

[stonefaced_1]

Yes.

This question is a little harder.

What is special about this sentence?
"The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog."

[Frizzo the Clown]

It uses every letter in the alphabet.

[stonefaced_1]

You got it.

Follow up question.

What is a sentence that uses every letter in the alphabet called?

[Frizzo the Clown]

A pangram

[stonefaced_1]

Yup. You should try out for Jeopardy! and take out Ken Jennings. You would easily have him on anything having to do with breasts.

How many steps a day does the average person take?"

[Tornado]

5,000-7,000

Actually, I watch a lot of Jeopardy...and I do a lot of crossword puzzles. Thats where all this useless knowledge comes from. ;)

I'm the same way. BUT, most of my useless knowledge IS useless. Meaning I never get asked questions about it. I make it my goal to learn one more piece of useless information each day. Today I learned that:

ADIDAS actually stands for something. All Day I Dream About Sports. Seriously.

I'll add another question later.

[Frizzo the Clown]

Hmmm...true? ;)

[Drizzt240]

I hope you guys aren't searching for answers.

And to let you guys know Black was the answer I was looking for. I said name all of them because I was trying to trick you guys. "You can get it in any color you wanted, as long as it was black" . Stating more than black is getting a little bit too technical.

What does Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally mean?

[Tornado]

Learned this one a while back. It's a mnemonic for:

Parentheses
Exponents
Multiplication
Division
Addition
Subtraction

It's supposed to help you with "Order of Operations".

[Tornado]

I hope you guys aren't searching for answers.

The only one that I searched for an ANSWER for (some of them I searched for something that would backup my post, just in case that you called me wrong I could point it out) was the largest earthquake one. And I only searched for that answer after you told me that mine was wrong. :funny:

and at one time, all the colours included more than just black. ;)

And "Please excuse my dear Aunt Sally" is what I have to say everytime I'm out in public with my Aunt Sally. She has really bad gas.

What was the first X-rated movie to be publicly advertised? (Hint: it's not porn. It was rated X for violence.)

[Rex]

Midnight Cowboy

[Drizzt240]

Not the one I was thinking of. Give some proof that it was publicly advertised and I'll give you the point.

No one really knows if Henry Ford ever said that the buying public could have Model T Fords "in any color, so long as it's black", but it is commonly attributed to him. While this saying is true for the model years after 1913, earlier cars were available in green, red, blue and grey. In fact, in the first year, Model T Fords were not available in black at all. The switch to all black cars was likely due to Ford's optimization of the assembly line and to reduce the time lost waiting for the various paints to dry. In 1926 colors other than black were once again offered, in an attempt to boost sales. The Advent of the Model T seemed to renew a sense of independence among Americans who had lost their pioneer spirit to industrialization. Yet the methods that Henry Ford devised for producing his car so efficiently advanced that very industrialization. Like its inventor, the Model T represented both high ideals and hard practicalities.

Not trying to be technical, just stating facts. ;)

[Tornado]

Hey, I've got 2 points! ;)

[Frizzo the Clown]

I'm gonna guess and say A Clockwork Orange. I know it was rated-X when it came out, and it was deemed to be very violent by that days standards.

[equipe]

Midnight Cowboy (1969) was the first studio made X rated film, it was also the first X rated to win an Oscar (best Picture)

That's all I know.

Photoshop is a popular piece of software. Its most recent release, however, does not allow you to scan something into it to edit the picture. What does it prohibit people from scanning into it?
