Moderators Gregory Matthews Posted May 17, 2016 Moderators Share Posted May 17, 2016 I will make my contribution to the trivia quiz: In the United States, it takes a Congressional Resolution to declare a specific day as worthy of national recognition. One example is Presidents Day. However in addition to those days that have been set aside by a Congressional Resolution, there are other days that we have been asked to celebrate. Some have received international recognition and others have not. Can you identify from the following list those days that we have been asked to recognize, even though they may lack a formal Congressional Resolution. [NOTE: I will be listing a specific day. If the named day is an actual one, the specific day that I list will be correct. My question involves the named day and not the calendar date.] 1. Hummus Day, May 13. 2. Gummi Worm Day, July 15. 3. Mousse day, November 30. 4. Frozen Yogurt Day, February 6. 5. Olive Day. November 11. 6. Buy Nothing Day, The day following Thanksgiving. 7. Do Nothing Day, January 16. O.K. pick out the real and eliminate the false. Can you do it? Quote Gregory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is it called today?A. Rome B. Jacksonville C. Macon D. Atlanta Oooh, The Walking Dead is one of my favorite shows. The double entendre of the name Terminus was a plot twist that only die-hard comic fans would have caught early on in the series. As Terminus is filmed in the state of Georgia, I'd say we're safe to say that it's not Jacksonville or Rome. So, that leaves Macon and Atlanta. Since one of the railroads was the Atlantic, I'll go with D.) Atlanta! (Also, the biggest city that's filmed in the series is Atlanta, so, it's most likely that choice.)

Moderators Gregory Matthews Posted May 17, 2016 Moderators Share Posted May 17, 2016 today I received in the mail an advertisement that contained a very official looking U.S. currency bill in the denomination of $1,000,000. Well no such bill actually exists. However, The Department of the Treasury has issued a number of paper bills over the years, some of which are no longer being issued and some of which were only good for transactions within the banking system and were never issued to the public. Of the following where are valid bills that were once issued: 1) $2 2) $50 3) $75 4) $100 5) $500 6) $750 7) $1,000 8) $5,000 9) $10,000 10) $50,000 11) $75,000 12) $100,000 13) $250,000 14) $500,000 Hint: Some are real and some are not. Hint: There are seven (7) current bills in circulation to the public. However, all bills previously circulated are still valid U.S. currency. NOTE: The above list does not contain all of the valid U.S. currency. GayatfootofCross 1 Quote Gregory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Bravus Posted May 18, 2016 Moderators Share Posted May 18, 2016 Partly because it seems more literary, partly because it' the US 'Voice' and I don't and can't watch it, and partly because, while I love music, all the mugging for the crowd from the judges, the fools at the side of the stage and everyone else spoils it for me on The Voice (the Australian one) to the point where I find it unwatchable. I enjoyed watching Eurovision because it has the songs but little or none of that other stuff. Not judging anyone who loves The Voice, but it's not for me.
