Brooke Shields Cindy Crawford Christie Brinkley Gisele Bündchen 21 hours ago, dgrimm60 said: CINDY CRAWFORD Answer: Cindy Crawford graduated from DeKalb High School in 1984, as valedictorian. She won an academic scholarship to study chemical engineering at Northwestern University, which she attended for only one quarter. She dropped out in order to pursue a full-time modeling career. After working for photographer Victor Skrebneski in Chicago, Crawford moved to Manhattan in 1986 and signed with the Elite New York modeling agency. In 1995, Forbes magazine named her the highest paid model on the planet. Quote phkrause When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; But when a wicked man rules, the people groan.

Back when the race was just getting started, they used to pass out red roses at Derby parties. Churchill Downs president Lewis Clark saw how much enthusiasm this generated and so he made it the official flower of the race. Because, we guess, horse races are something that need official flowers. In 1896, that year's champ Ben Brush got the first garland of roses. And the tradition has been growing ever since. We're up to the winner getting a set of 554 red roses for their victory. Which is nice, though at some point it's worth asking, do horses even like roses? On 5/17/2018 at 8:35 PM, phkrause said: Who Was the First Woman to Ride in the Derby? It took 95 years for a female jockey to land a spot on the Derby lineup, but boy was Diane Crump right for the job. With over 230 victories in her career, Crump is widely regarded as a pioneer in the world of horse racing. She was just 20 years-old when in 1970, she became the first woman to ride in the Kentucky Derby. Sadly, she came in 15th (in a 17 horse race). Since then, just five other women have raced and no woman has ever won the Derby. The closest to victory was Shelley Riley, who came in second place in 1992. On 5/17/2018 at 8:35 PM, phkrause said: Who Was the Fastest Horse in Derby History? That would be Secretariat—a horse so cool, they made a Disney movie about him. Secretariat finished the 1973 Kentucky Derby in 1:59 2/5 time, the fastest any horse has ever run the 1.25 mile-long course. Secretariat went on to win the Triple Crown and Horse of the Year in 1973—not a bad run if you ask us (pun intended). All in all, Secretariat earned his owners, Christopher and Penny Chenery, over $1.3 million in his lifetime. Sadly, he was euthanized in 1989 after contracting a painful, debilitating disease in his hooves. On 5/17/2018 at 8:35 PM, phkrause said: How Much Money Do Derby Attendees Wager Each Year at Churchill Downs? Of course, what's the fun in going to Kentucky for a 2-minute-long sporting event if there isn't a little betting involved? People line up at the wager booths every year in Churchill Downs (and at sportsbooks around the world) to place their bets and we bet you'll be pretty surprised by exactly how much money changes hands each year. Wagers at Churchill Downs reached $32.8 million in 2017—$9 million more than the year before despite the rainy weather. That set a new record for the course. On 5/17/2018 at 8:35 PM, phkrause said: Who Were the Oldest and Youngest Jockies to Win the Race? Alonzo "Lonnie" Clayton made history in 1892 when he won the Kentucky Derby at just 15 years old. Clayton, an African-American from Arkansas, was among a select group of African-American racers who dominated the Derby in its early years (15 of the first 28 derbies were won by African-Americans). The oldest winner is Bill Shoemaker, who won the race in 1986 at the age of 54. Though there are no age restrictions for jockeys, horses participating in the derby cannot be more than three-years-old.

Members phkrause Posted May 19, 2018 Author Members Posted May 19, 2018 21 hours ago, phkrause said: Which paper towel is known as the "quicker picker-upper"? Brawny Viva Scott Bounty Bounty Answer: From the 1960s to the 1990s, veteran character actress Nancy Walker appeared in a popular and long-running series of commercials in the US, in which Walker played Rosie, a waitress in a diner, using Bounty paper towels to clean up spills made by the diner's patrons and demonstrating its better absorption compared to other brands. The tagline was originally "The quick picker-upper," later changing to "The quicker picker-upper", which became a common catchphrase, and was used for the brand's tagline long after Walker ceased appearing in Bounty ads.

One of the most popular things to do in Key West is to snap a photo with the colorful buoy marking the southernmost point of the United States. Sitting at the intersection of Whitehead and South streets, the striped buoy is just 90 miles north of Cuba. Next to it, you'll also find a plaque dedicated to Cubans who have lost their lives trying to reach America. Today it is one of the most visited and photographed attractions in the United States.

Maple Oak Elm Birch 13 hours ago, dgrimm60 said: MAPLE Answer: Canada’s red maple leaf flag is one of the most recognizable national flags in the world. The use of the maple leaf as a Canadian symbol dates back to the early 18th century, and is depicted on its current and previous flags, the penny, and on the coat of arms (or royal arms). The flag of Canada, unofficially referred to as the Maple Leaf and l'Unifolié (French for "the one-leafed"), is a stylized with an 11-point red maple leaf in its center. The flag made its first official appearance on February 15, 1965; the date is now celebrated annually as National Flag of Canada Day.

In 2003, James Comey was the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York, and he brought felony charges against Martha Stewart for her handling of a personal stock sale in 2001. A jury ultimately found the lifestyle guru guilty on charges of conspiracy, obstructing justice, and lying to investigators in March 2004.

Lego Hasbro Crayola Mattel 10 hours ago, dgrimm60 said: LEGO Answer: The Lego Group began in the workshop of Ole Kirk Christiansen, a carpenter from Denmark, who began making wooden toys in 1932. In 1934, his company came to be called "Lego", from the Danish phrase leg godt, which means "play well". In 1949 Lego began producing an early version of the now famous interlocking bricks, calling them "Automatic Binding Bricks". Supporting movies, games, competitions, and six Legoland amusement parks have been developed under the brand. As of July 2015, 600 billion Lego parts had been produced.
