"123456" "abc123" "password" "letmein" Probably "letmein" 19 hours ago, dgrimm60 said: 123456 Answer: Security firm Splashdata, which every year compiles a list of the most common stolen passwords, found that “123456” was the most common password in 2017. The list is created using data from more than five million passwords that were leaked by hackers in 2017. As SplashData notes, the past two years have been devastating for data security, with a number of well-publicized hacks (Equifax, Dropbox, and the SEC to name a few), attacks, ransoms, and even extortion attempts. “123456” and “password” retained the top two spots on the list—for the fourth consecutive year.

Greece France Italy Spain Answer: Gorgonzola is an Italian town in the Metropolitan City of Milan, Lombardy. It is part of the territory of the Martesana, north-east of Milan. The town gives its name to the famous cheese Gorgonzola. Gorgonzola is a veined Italian blue cheese, made from unskimmed cow's milk. It can be buttery or firm, crumbly and quite salty, with a "bite" from its blue veining. Gorgonzola has been produced for centuries in Gorgonzola, Milan, acquiring its greenish-blue marbling in the 11th century. Today, it is mainly produced in the northern Italian regions of Piedmont and Lombardy.

Shotgun Revolver Musket Beretta Revolver 5 hours ago, dgrimm60 said: REVOLVER Answer: Revolver is the seventh studio album by the English rock band the Beatles. Released on August 5, 1966, it was the Beatles' final recording project before their retirement as live performers and marked the group's most overt use of studio technology up to that time. The album's diverse sounds include tape loops and backwards recordings on the psychedelic "Tomorrow Never Knows", a classical string octet on "Eleanor Rigby", and Indian-music backing on "Love You To". Many music critics recognize it as the Beatles' best album, surpassing Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. The album was ranked third in Rolling Stone magazine's list of the "500 Greatest Albums of All Time".

The original 1975 cast of SNL, officially known on-air as "The Not Ready For Prime-Time Players", included Laraine Newman, John Belushi, Jane Curtin, Gilda Radner, Dan Aykroyd, Garrett Morris, Michael O'Donoghue, George Coe, and Chevy Chase. After Chevy Chase left the show, he was replaced by Bill Murray, whom Michaels had intended to hire for the first-season cast, but was unable to because of budget restrictions.

Despite the name, a ten-gallon hat holds only three quarts. The term "galón" actually refers to a certain kind of braided hatband that was popular among Mexican vaqueros. The "10 galón hat" would indicate a hat with a tall enough crown to display 10 of these braided ribbons. It is said that this is one big linguistic mix-up. So a ten-gallon hat is a hat with a braiding around the brim and did not refer to the holding capacity of the hat. When Texas cowboys misunderstood the word "galón" for "gallon," the popular, though incorrect, legend was born.

On this day in 1931, President Herbert Hoover officially dedicated New York City’s Empire State Building, pressing a button from the White House that turns on the building’s lights. Hoover’s gesture, of course, was symbolic; while the president remained in Washington, D.C., someone else flicked the switches in New York.

The playing of "Sweet Caroline" has become a fixture at many sporting events in the United States. The song has been played at Fenway Park, home of Major League Baseball's Boston Red Sox, since at least 1997, and in the middle of the eighth inning at every game since 2002. In this version, the horn figure after Diamond sings "Sweet Caroline" in the chorus is replaced by the crowd singing "Bap Bap Bah”, and after he sings "Good times never seemed so good," the crowd sings "So good, so good, so good."

The 54-year-old leader of Al Qaeda, the terrorist network of Islamic extremists, had been the target of a nearly decade-long international manhunt. During the raid, which lasted approximately 40 minutes, five people, including bin Laden and one of his adult sons, were killed by U.S. gunfire. His body was buried at an undisclosed location in the Arabian Sea less than 24 hours after his death.
