Bill Gates Vladimir Putin Mark Zuckerberg Donald Trump Vlad 17 hours ago, dgrimm60 said: VLADIMIR PUTIN Answer: Vladimir Putin holds a 5th-degree black belt in judo and is best known for his Harai Goshi (sweeping hip throw). Mr. Putin has said of judo: “Judo teaches self-control, the ability to feel the moment, to see the opponent’s strengths and weaknesses, to strive for the best results. I am sure you will agree that these are essential abilities and skills for any politician”. Putin also holds an 8th dan black belt in karate, joining a handful of judo fighters in the world who have achieved such status. Putin has co-authored a book on judo called, "Let's Learn Judo with Vladimir Putin."

John Tyler had only been vice president for 30 days when President Harrison came down with pneumonia and succumbed to the sickness, immediately bestowing the power of the presidency on the vice president. Because there was no precedent, the president's Cabinet debated whether Tyler would temporarily inherit the responsibilities and powers of the presidency, or if he would assume the role (and title) of "President." Tyler stepped in and put all those questions to bed when he assertively had himself sworn in as president a day after Harrison's passing. 19 hours ago, phkrause said: Who Was the First President Denied Renomination by His Own Party? With a few exceptions, the incumbent president pretty much has his party's nomination for reelection in the bag. Franklin Pierce was the first of the exceptions, however, when he went up for reelection in 1857 and got a hard "no" from the Democratic Party. Historians often look at Pierce's presidency as one of the worst with the Civil War bubbling on the horizon and personal issues—including the death of his 11-year-old son—pushing Pierce toward the bottle. Needless to say, Pierce surely wasn't too happy to miss out on another four years in office. 19 hours ago, phkrause said: Who Was the First President to Visit Europe While in Office? It wasn't until 1918, during the presidency of Woodrow Wilson that a sitting US president made the trek overseas to visit Europe. While Teddy Roosevelt holds the title for "first president to travel abroad while in office," his trip was to Panama. Wilson went to France to help negotiate the end of World War I in Versailles. 19 hours ago, phkrause said: Who Was the First President to Have Women Vote For Him A firm supporter of women’s suffrage, Harding found favor in the first presidential election in which all women had the right to vote. The total number of votes cast increased from 18.5 million in 1916 to 26.8 million in 1920. 19 hours ago, phkrause said: Who Was the First President to Appear on Television The elder Roosevelt may have snagged all the good transportation innovations, but his distant cousin FDR ended up with a big one: television. In 1939, he appeared on TV at the opening ceremony of the New York World’s Fair. Only a handful of people who owned televisions in the New York area saw the broadcast, however.

Hank Aaron Barry Bonds Pete Rose Charles Barkley Pete Rose 4 hours ago, dgrimm60 said: PETE ROSE Answer: On this day in 1989, Pete Rose was banned from baseball for allegedly gambling on the game. For more than 14 years, he denied these accusations, but in January 2004, he released his autobiography, My Prison Without Bars, in which he came clean about his gambling. He even acknowledged betting on his own team, but never to lose. In the book, he wrote: "I never allowed my wagers to influence my baseball decisions so, in my mind, I wasn't corrupt." The issue of Rose's possible reinstatement and election to the Hall of Fame remains contentious throughout baseball.

Ears Eyes Noes Toes Ears 4 hours ago, dgrimm60 said: EARS Answer: The three smallest bones in the human body are located in the middle ear. Collectively called the ossicles, these bones are individually known as the malleus, incus, and stapes. Those are Latin words for the shapes the bones resemble: a hammer, anvil, and stirrup. All three of these tiny bones would fit comfortably on your finger nail! The ossicles convey sound pressure waves from the outer ear (and ear drum) to the inner ear, where the waves are translated into nerve impulses that go to the brain for identification.

Despite receiving mixed to negative reviews from critics, it was a commercial success, with the Duran Duran theme song "A View to a Kill" becoming the only Bond theme song to reach #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and earning a Golden Globe nomination for Best Song. Duran Duran was chosen to do the song after bassist John Taylor (a lifelong Bond fan) approached producer Cubby Broccoli at a party, and somewhat drunkenly asked "When are you going to get someone decent to do one of your theme songs?"

Sean Connery Roger Moore Pierce Brosnan Timothy Dalton Pierce Brosnan 17 hours ago, dgrimm60 said: PIERCE BRONSNAN Answer: Pierce Brosnan rose to popularity playing the title role in the NBC romantic detective series Remington Steele. The Washington Post noted that same year that Brosnan "could make it as a young James Bond”. In 1987, NBC cancelled Remington Steele. Brosnan was offered the role of James Bond, but the publicity improved Remington Steele's ratings and it was renewed, requiring Brosnan to contractually return to the show. Brosnan eventually became the fifth actor to portray James Bond, starring in four films from 1995 to 2002 (GoldenEye, Tomorrow Never Dies, The World Is Not Enough and Die Another Day).
