Thomas Edison Albert Einstein Benjamin Franklin Henry Ford 8 hours ago, dgrimm60 said: BENJAMIN FRANKLIN Answer: It’s Tax Day folks! One of the most famous quotations by Benjamin Franklin is: “Our new Constitution is now established, everything seems to promise it will be durable; but, in this world, nothing can be certain except death and taxes.” So why is Tax Day on April 17 this year? It's due to a combination of the 15th falling on a Sunday and a holiday unique to Washington, D.C., hitting on Monday the 16th. The nation's capital celebrates Emancipation Day to mark the date that President Abraham Lincoln freed slaves there in 1862.

Sedimentary Metamorphic Hemogeneous Igneous 8 hours ago, dgrimm60 said: HEMOGENEOUS Answer: The three main types, or classes, of rock are sedimentary, metamorphic, and igneous. Sedimentary rocks are formed from particles of sand, shells, pebbles, and other fragments of material. Metamorphic rocks are formed under the surface of the earth from the metamorphosis that occurs due to intense heat and pressure. Igneous rocks are formed when magma (molten rock deep within the earth) cools and hardens. Sometimes the magma cools inside the earth, and other times it erupts onto the surface from volcanoes (lava).

Renaissance and Renegade Lace and Lancer Rainbow and Rawhide Tranquility and Timberwolf I'm gonna go for Ren&Ren!! Answer: The United States Secret Service uses code names for U.S. presidents, first ladies, and other prominent persons and locations. They aren’t exactly meant to be secrets, but simply a way to make communicating over radios easier. The Secret Service code name for George H. W. Bush was Timberwolf. Barbara Bush’s Secret Service code name was Tranquility. Barbara Bush died last night at her home in Houston. She was 92. The Bushes had celebrated their 73rd wedding anniversary in January, making them the longest-married couple in presidential history.

Ralph Waldo Emerson Henry David Thoreau Mark Twain Henry Wadsworth Longfellow Answer: On this day in 1775, Paul Revere began his ride from Charlestown to Lexington, Massachusetts warning American colonists that the British were coming. It was that famous ride that etched his name into history, especially after it was commemorated later by the poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. Paul Revere gave the word to light two lanterns at the North Church, thus complying with a prearranged signal, "one if by land, and two if by sea." Paul Revere then began his ride. During his ride he was temporarily detained by British officers, but escaped. Quote phkrause When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; But when a wicked man rules, the people groan.

Palindrome Oxymoron Pangram Alliteration Answer: A pangram is a sentence using every letter of a given alphabet at least once. Pangrams have been used to display typefaces, test equipment, and develop skills in handwriting, calligraphy, and keyboarding. The best-known English pangram is "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog." It has been used since at least the late 19th century, was utilized by Western Union to test Telex / TWX data communication equipment for accuracy and reliability, and is now used by a number of computer programs (most notably the font viewer built into Microsoft Windows) to display computer fonts.

Members phkrause Posted April 20, 2018 Author Members Posted April 20, 2018 20 hours ago, phkrause said: Who Fired That "Shot Heard Round the World"? During the initial battle on Lexington Green, British troops and colonial Minutemen faced each other as someone fired off a shot from a musket. Frustratingly, no one knows who fired first. It could have been the colonists, or it could have been the British. Interestingly, though, it could also have been an accident. The colonists were rushing to get weapons out of a storage space at the town hall, and it's possible that the famous "shot heard round the world" was really a gun accidentally going off as the Minutemen tried to load it. Regardless of who shot first, the resulting battle signaled that the colonists were now serious about fighting back. 20 hours ago, phkrause said: Which Future President Served as a Courier in the Revolutionary War When He Was Just 13-Years-Old? President Andrew Jackson was only 13 when he joined his local militia and served informally as a patriot courier. His older brother had died in battle the year prior, and both he and his other brother, Robert, immediately began attending local militia drills. In 1781, both brothers were captured, beaten, and imprisoned by British troops after the boys refused to polish the Redcoats' shoes. One officer slashed Jackson with a sword on his face and hand, permanently scarring him physically and also permanently instilling a sense of disdain for the British that would last the rest of Jackson's life. 20 hours ago, phkrause said: What Possession Did George Washington Return to British General William Howe After the Battle of Germantown? His dog. After suffering painful and humiliating defeats at Brandywine and Germantown, Washington happened across a stray dog who had wandered into the Patriot camp. Washington surprisingly found a nametag attached to the dog, revealing it was the pet of General Howe. Always a man of honor, Washington returned the pup to its owner along with a note (scribed by Alexander Hamilton) offering his compliments in battle. 20 hours ago, phkrause said: Where Was the Last Major Battle of the Revolution Fought? The Battle of Yorktown, which came to an end on October 19, 1781, is widely regarded as the beginning of the end of the Revolutionary War. General Cornwallis negotiated the surrender of his army after being surrounded by a combination of American and French forces. The symbolic surrender of Cornwallis's sword was initially offered to the French, who refused and insisted George Washington be the one to accept it. It would take two years before the conflict officially ended and the Treaty of Paris gave America its independence.

Mason-Dixon Line 17th Parallel Tropic of Capricorn 38th Parallel Pretty sure its one of the Parallels!! I'll go with 38th? 9 hours ago, dgrimm60 said: 38 th Parallel Answer: The 38th parallel is the name given to latitude 38° N that in East Asia roughly marks the border between North Korea and South Korea. The division between North and South Korea occurred after World War II, ending the Empire of Japan's rule over Korea in 1945. The United States and the Soviet Union each occupied a portion of the country, with the boundary between their zones of control along the 38th parallel. With the onset of the Cold War, the United States supported the South, and the Soviet Union supported the North. The subsequent Korean War left the two Koreas separated by the Korean Demilitarized Zone up to the present day.

Albert Einstein Garry Kasparov Stephen Hawking William James Sidis Answer: William James Sidis was quite possibly the smartest man who ever lived. Sidis had the highest IQ ever recorded with a score estimated to be 50 to 100 points higher than Albert Einstein's. Born in Boston in 1898, William James Sidis made headlines in the early 20th century as a child prodigy with an amazing intellect. He could read the New York Times before he was 2. At age 11, he already mastered over 40 languages and entered Harvard University as one of the youngest students in the school's history. He attempted a political career but died young (at age 46), from a brain hemorrhage. ps:Well I wouldn't of guessed him!! My thoughts were Einstein!!

David Bowie Johnny Cash Bob Dylan Freddie Mercury Sounds like something that David Bowie would do!! Answer: David Bowie was an English rock star known for his dramatic musical transformations. Bowie introduced the world to his flamboyant alter ego Ziggy Stardust during the glam rock era. His 1972 album, The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars, made him a superstar. Dressed in wild costumes, Ziggy Stardust signaled a new age in rock music. In 1973, he disbanded the Spiders and shelved his Stardust persona. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1996. Shortly after releasing his final album, Bowie died from cancer in 2016.
