1. I actually know this one. 15 October 1582
2. Robert E. Lee, but this is just pop culture because I know for a fact there are more that have done it.
3. Blinky, Pinky, Inky, and Clyde (yes, I actually knew that and didn’t friggin google it)
4. Q
5. 101
6. Um… traversed?
I don’t have “hateful thoughts” at all toward your blog. It’s just that we’ve never agreed on…. anything so why start now?
Good trivia. I only have two answers:
5. 1,000. I don’t think it’s 101 because isn’t the “and” optional? For instance, “one hundred one” or “one hundred and one” are both acceptable, right? I think you could use either…and the “and” might actually be some colloquial addition that isn’t actually correct.
Of course, maybe it’s like “filet” and “fillet.” Who knows.
And I definitely don’t get #1! Is it really 15 October 1592? WHY?! This is going to make me crazy.
6. stewardesses
Ok, seriously, how do they determine that polar bears are left handed? They dont write, they dont play musical instruments or play baseball….come on….really now?!?!?!– jc
1. 5 October 1582
2. It wasn’t Tom Martin.
3. Not a clue.
4. Q
5. One hundred AND one?
6. “traded”
Polar Bears have paws……not hands! So…would that make them a “south paw?”
VERY clever, Mama Martin..!!! I’m impressed…!!!
I don’t konw the answers to any of these, but I CAN tell you that it’s true that goldfish turn white. I had a 29 cent goldfish from Wal Mart for three and a half years, and he turned white and then completely clear–you could see right through him.
