Bazooka Trident Dentyne Hubba Bubba 17 hours ago, dgrimm60 said: TRIDENT Answer: Trident is a brand of sugar-free chewing gum. The trident is also a symbol of the Greek sea god, Poseidon. A trident is a three-pronged spear. It is used for spear fishing and historically as a polearm. The trident is the weapon of Poseidon and Neptune, the god of the sea in classical mythology. The word "trident" comes from the French word trident, which in turn comes from the Latin word tridens or tridentis: tri "three" and dentes "teeth". In 1980, former President Jimmy Carter declared Trident as the official gum of the White House.

W. Bush Barack Obama John F. Kennedy 15 hours ago, dgrimm60 said: GEORGE H. W. BUSH Answer: The phrase "a thousand points of light" was popularized by US president George H. W. Bush, and later formed the name of a private, non-profit organization launched by Bush to support volunteerism. The term was first used by George Bush in his speech accepting the presidential nomination at the 1988 Republican National Convention. Written for Bush by Peggy Noonan, the address likened America's clubs and volunteer organizations to "a brilliant diversity spread like stars, like a thousand points of light in a broad and peaceful sky."

Edgar Allan Poe Albert Einstein Charles Darwin Thomas Edison I would say Albert Einstein 15 hours ago, dgrimm60 said: THOMAS EDISON Answer: In many cultures around the world, it is frowned upon to marry your cousin (and in some countries even illegal), but that hasn’t stopped people throughout history from doing it. Albert Einstein held a lot of knowledge, but no knowledge of the dangers of procreating with a relative. Einstein married his first cousin on his mother’s side and second cousin on his father’s side. Charles Darwin studied evolution extensively in animals but apparently not in humans. Darwin married his first cousin with whom he had 10 children. Edgar Allan Poe married his first cousin, Virginia Clemm, when she was just 13 years old.

Executive Legislative Parliamentary Judicial Parliamentary 21 hours ago, dgrimm60 said: PARLIAMENTARY Answer: The Constitution divides the federal government into three branches to make sure no individual or group will have too much power. They are the Executive, (President and about 5,000,000 workers) Legislative (Senate and House of Representatives) and Judicial (Supreme Court and lower Courts). The President of the United States administers the Executive Branch of our government. The President enforces the laws that the Legislative Branch (Congress) makes. The Judicial branch interprets the meaning of laws, applies laws to individual cases, and decides if laws violate the Constitution.

On this day in 1776, it is believed that the Liberty Bell rang out from the tower of the Pennsylvania State House (now Independence Hall) in Philadelphia, summoning citizens to the first public reading of the Declaration of Independence. It remains there today and is visited by more than 1 million people each year. Quote phkrause When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; But when a wicked man rules, the people groan.

A grilled cheese sandwich A broken laser pointer A haunted rubber duck A cornflake shaped like Illinois Answer: Actually all of the items listed have been sold on eBay, but the broken laser pointer was the first. Over Labor Day weekend in 1995, the site’s founder Pierre Omidyar wrote the code for what he called an "experiment." He wanted to know what would happen if everyone in the world had access to a single global marketplace. To test his idea, he came up with an auction website, where he listed a broken laser pointer that he was going to throw away. It sold for $14.83. The grilled cheese sandwich, by the way, which supposedly resembled the Virgin Mary, sold for a staggering $28,000.

Arkansas Oklahoma Louisiana Utah 11 hours ago, dgrimm60 said: UTAH Answer: Utah is the only state with a capital whose name consists of three words: Salt Lake City. The city was originally founded in 1847 by Brigham Young, and other followers of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, who were seeking to escape religious persecution in the mid-western United States. Due to its proximity to the Great Salt Lake, the city was originally named "Great Salt Lake City"; however, the word "great" was dropped from the official name in 1868 by the 17th Utah Territorial Legislature.

Kennedy Abraham Lincoln Herbert Hoover Franklin D. Roosevelt 12 hours ago, dgrimm60 said: FRANLIN ROOSEVELT Answer: Based on Harold Gray’s syndicated comic strip, the musical Annie is set in the pits of Depression-era New York City. Oliver “Daddy” Warbucks arrives in Washington to meet President Franklin Roosevelt. As President of the United States, Franklin Roosevelt aids Daddy Warbucks in the search for Annie's parents. Roosevelt wants his help organizing the New Deal, which Oliver Warbucks thinks is a preposterous scheme with no hope of success. Little orphan Annie inspires FDR and his cabinet to create the New Deal by singing "Tomorrow" to them.
