Once we realized Canada had snow 24/7/365 we basically stopped fighting thinking… “We can only make so many snowmen and Tundra is of no value…”
That makes alot of sense.
Mr. Toad's Wild Ride

**Welcome to Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride! **
Okay so here’s the rules, I ask something interesting and the first person who gets it receives a +1 free Karma from me, Mr. Toad. This will be a great way to boost your Karma rating – especially for those of you who have platters of negative smitings.
Also, I’ll throw out some random consolation prizes like pictures/links/videos if I’m feeling especially generous.
So let us begin!
Complete this sentence:
“In 1949 Tan replaced violet, which was replaced by Blue in 1995. What am I referring to?”
-
Nice idea….
a color crayon?
-
The UN color? :?
LT
-
Hint: It’s a confectionery. You all had a chance to vote on it in 1995.
-
uhh… :? hmm… Maybe if I was old enough to vote in 1995 that would help.
-
Would it be M&M’s?
-
Correct U-505! :-D
That’s +1 to you.
“First produced in 1941, the candies were originally manufactured in brown, yellow, orange, red, green, and violet. Violet was replaced by tan in 1949, which was replaced by blue in 1995. Mars also launched a competition to have a new color between purple, pink, and turquoise sometime around 2002. Purple became the extra color, but it eventually disappeared.”
Questions #2
What was Elvis’s natural hair color?
-
For the last 5 years, I’ve lived 40 miles from Graceland and I haven’t been there yet. I think this is a trick question to make me think it’s something you wouldn’t expect like blond or red so I’ll go with black.
-
i’ll go with red……
-
I’ll help cover the basis and go with blond.
He did have blue eyes if I remember correctly, and that was around the WWII era so blond hair and blue eyes were not the most popular gene’s to have.
-
LT04, You are Correct!
Elvis was a natural blonde. He dyed his hair black early in his career, thinking he could never keep up his “bad boy” image as a blonde.
Question #3 - Art History
Identify the characters in this picture.
-
icarus and his father is my guess.
dude has wings.
-
The setting suggests that Balung is correct.
-
I would have to agree with balungaloaf that this person is Icarus.
My question is why do they have a trash bag on their home-made set of wings?
-
Sheesh… No one remembers Daedalus, Icarus’s father, who conceptualized the idea of human flight and designed the first set of wings. Remember, Icarus wasn’t the only one who flew off of the island of Crete that day. And Daedalus had the more interesting life of the two.
Oh well, since you guys at least answered Icarus, you all get Karma.
Question #4 - Bartletts
This quote is widely attributed to which person?
“First I begin by taking. Then I shall find the scholars to demonstrate my perfect right.”
-
i googled it…. :-D
i wont post the answer though, or will i…
-
I was going to go with Julius Caesar but something didn’t sound right about it and since you probably wouldn’t follow up a question about ancient Greece with one from ancient Rome I’m going to go with Napoleon.
-
I Googled it becuase I honestly whould not have known that.
-
As many of you have already googled, the correct answer is King Frederick the Great.
When I first read the quote, I was stricken by how true it was, not just in his era but in ours. The victors shape the world as they see fit. If the Axis powers had won WWII or the Soviets the Cold War, believe me, our textbooks would be written very differently today.
Let’s see if you guys can do better this time:
