Army Marines Navy Air Force Marines 10 hours ago, dgrimm60 said: MARINES Answer: "The Marines are looking for a few good men." This phrase, or some variation of it, has appeared on quite a few recruiting posters throughout Marine history. But this slogan wasn't created in an advertising boardroom. The roots of "a few good men" go back to 1799 with Marine Capt. William Jones’s plea in the Providence Gazette. "The Continental ship Providence, now lying at Boston, is bound on a short cruise, immediately; a few good men are wanted to make up her complement." You'll find this phrase on recruiting posters throughout Corps history, in addition to the title of the classic film starring Jack Nicholson.

The title of the musical is taken from the group's 1975 chart-topper "Mamma Mia". Björn Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson, who composed the original music for ABBA, were involved in the development of the show from the beginning. Over 60 million people have seen the show, which has grossed $2 billion worldwide since its 1999 debut. A film adaptation was released in July 2008.

Members phkrause Posted September 10, 2018 Author Members Posted September 10, 2018 17 hours ago, phkrause said: Which fruit was the first eaten on the moon? Apple Banana Mango Peach Peach Answer: Astronauts had previously enjoyed applesauce while orbiting the earth, but peaches were the first fruit to be eaten on the moon. During the United States' Apollo 11 moon mission, the astronauts were able to enjoy two meals while on the moon. Along with canned peaches, the first meal included bacon squares, sugar cookie cubes, coffee and a beverage made with pineapple and grapefruit juices. The second meal on the moon consisted of beef stew, chicken soup, date fruitcake, grape punch and orange drink.

Members phkrause Posted September 10, 2018 Author Members Posted September 10, 2018 17 hours ago, phkrause said: What State's Legislature Ruled in 1881 That the Last Letter of Their State Name Was Silent? It doesn't take much work to notice that Kansas and the last six letters of Arkansas are the same, but pronounced totally differently. But why is that? A Native American tribe referred to the people who lived in the region we now call Arkansas as the Akansa. Enter the French who made a few adjustments to the word: adding an 's' at the end for pluralization and an 'r' before the 'k' just because. In French, an 's' at the end of the word is silent, so the state came to be pronounced Aransaw. And just so there wouldn't be any confusion, in 1881, the state legislature ruled on the issue, declaring that the 's' was officially silent. 17 hours ago, phkrause said: What's an Older Name for Hawaii—And Why Does a Desert Area in the Pacific Northwest Now Use It? Hawaii (or Hawai'i) was originally called Owyhee, which was just an attempt by English settlers to transliterate the pronunciation they heard into English. The spelling of the name was later changed to Hawai'i after missionaries developed a written language based on the English alphabet, but the older spelling of Owyhee lives on in southeastern Oregon, northwestern Nevada, and Southwestern Idaho in names such as the Owyhee Desert, the Owyhees (mountains), and various building names. When these regions were still being used for trapping in the 1800s, one expedition had three Hawaiian members who unfortunately disappeared. The rest of the expedition named the area after Owhyee in honor of the three. Hawaiians continued to work in the region for many years, resulting in more landforms and structures named after Owyhee. 17 hours ago, phkrause said: How Many State Names Are From Native American Languages? Of all 50 states, 26 have names based on non-Polynesian Native American words. Hawaii's name is from its own language, too, so if you include Hawaiian as a native North American language, the number rises to 27. These names were all modified somehow; for example, Texas comes from the Caddo word "taysha" and Alaska comes from the Unangan name "Alaxsxix." One state, Idaho, has a name that is thought to be made up but that a few people tried to pass off as based on either the Shoshone or Apache languages. 17 hours ago, phkrause said: What State Got Its Name in Part Due to a Debt Owed by the King? William Penn's father was owed quite a large debt by the king, who decided to repay that debt by granting Penn the land for his new colony. Penn Founded a colony based on his Quaker ideals, promising fair trials, religious freedom, free elections, and no unjust imprisonments. King Charles I decided the land would be called Pennsylvania in honor of young William, which was fine by everyone except William, who felt embarrassed having the place named after himself. But King Charles wouldn't change the name. So Pennsylvania is named after one of the only people in the world who apparently doesn't think it's cool to have a state named after himself. 17 hours ago, phkrause said: Which State Has the Oldest European Name Still in Use in the Country? Occasionally a name sticks, and in Florida's case, that's given the state the honor of having the only European-based state name that hasn't really changed from its original spelling and pronunciation. When Juan Ponce de Leon arrived at the region's shores, he named the area after pascua florida, or Easter flowers, because he landed shortly after Easter. This name has been around since 1513 and hasn't changed, even though the borders of the region using this name certainly did.

Robert Todd Lincoln Kermit Roosevelt Esther Cleveland Katherine McKinley Esther 7 hours ago, dgrimm60 said: ESTHER CLEVELAND Answer: On this day in 1893, President Grover Cleveland’s wife Frances became the first First Lady to give birth in the White House when the couple’s daughter Esther was born. Esther remains the only child of a president to be born in the White House. After spending the first two years of his presidency as a bachelor, Cleveland was also the first president to be married in White House. On June 2, 1887, Grover Cleveland and Frances Folsom were wed in the White House Blue Room, in a ceremony attended by fewer than 40 guests. At 21, Frances became the youngest first lady in U.S. history. Quote phkrause When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; But when a wicked man rules, the people groan. Proverbs 29;2

Grey Poupon Tabasco Lea & Perrins A.1. Sauce A.1.Sauce 8 hours ago, dgrimm60 said: A-1 SACUE Answer: A.1. Sauce is a creation of Henderson William Brand, the personal chef of King George IV of the United Kingdom. A popular myth has it that the king declared it "A.1." and the name was born. A.1. was originally marketed as a high-quality, do-it-all "saucy sauce different from any other, appreciated on Welsh rarebits, broiled lobster and English mutton chops." A.1. slapped the steak moniker on the bottle in the early 1960s, when beef was riding a wave of popularity. In 2014, Kraft Foods announced it was dropping the word "steak" from the A.1. name reverting to A.1. Sauce, to "reflect modern dining habits".

Russell Crowe Sean Penn Joe Pesci Alec Baldwin Sean Penn 9 hours ago, dgrimm60 said: SEAN PENN Answer: Sean Penn is no stranger to violent outbursts, yet one incident in particular landed him behind bars. In 1987, Penn was sentenced to 60 days after punching an extra on the set of his film “Colors” while on probation from two prior assaults. Lucky for him, the Oscar winning actor only served 32 days in jail. Apparently, Penn objected to movie extra Jeffrey Klein photographing him, prompting Penn to swear and spit at Klein. When Klein spat back, Penn punched him in the face several times and had to be pulled off him and restrained by members of the crew and cast.
