JIMMY  CARTER

Answer: On this day in 1973, future President Jimmy Carter filed a report with the National Investigations Committee on Aerial Phenomena, claiming he had seen an Unidentified Flying Object (UFO) in October 1969. Describing it as "the darndest thing I've ever seen", Carter reported that "the object hovered about 30 degrees above the horizon and moved in toward the earth and away before disappearing into the distance." Carter, as well as 10 to 12 other people who witnessed the same event, described the object as "very bright [with] changing colors and about the size of the moon."

DOMINICAN  REPUBLIC

Answer: The Dominican flag is the only flag in the world that uses the image of a Bible. The center of the Dominican flag has the national coat of arms that features a shield with the flag design, one branch of a laurel bay on the left, and a palm frond on the right. In the center of the shield, flanked by three spears (two of them holding Dominican banners) on each side, is the Bible with a small cross above it. The bible on the shield is open to John 8:32 which reads, “Y la verdad nos hará libre” (And the truth shall set us free.) The population of the Dominican Republic is estimated to be 95% Roman Catholic.

TANG

Answer: Tang is a fruit-flavored drink that was formulated by food scientist William A. Mitchell in 1957. Sales of Tang were poor until NASA selected it for the menu on John Glenn's Mercury flight in February 1962, and on subsequent Gemini missions. Since then it has been closely associated with the U.S. manned spaceflight program, and created the misconception that Tang was invented for the space program. The creator of Tang also invented Pop Rocks, Cool Whip, a form of instant-set Jell-O, and other convenience foods.

NEW ZEALAND

Answer: New Zealand became the first nation to grant women the right to vote. On this day in 1893, with the signing of the Electoral Bill by Governor Lord Glasgow, New Zealand became the first country in the world to grant national voting rights to women. The bill was the result of years of effort by suffrage campaigners, led by Kate Sheppard. In recent years Sheppard’s contribution to New Zealand’s history has been acknowledged on the $10 note. New Zealand women first went to the polls in the national elections of November 1893.

JAMES LIPTON

Answer: James Lipton is the executive producer, writer and host of the Bravo cable television series Inside the Actors Studio, which debuted in 1994. The host, 86, revealed he was a pimp in Paris in the 1950s. Lipton, who wrote of his experience in the book "Inside Inside," explained that a woman he met while in France introduced him to the world prostitution. "It was only a few years after the war," he says. "Paris was different then, still poor. Men couldn't get jobs and, in the male chauvinist Paris of that time, the women couldn't get work at all. It was perfectly respectable for them to go into le milieu."

JOLLY GREEN  GIANT

Answer: With his toga-style outfit of leaves, and giant stature, the Jolly Green Giant has been a mascot for the Green Giant canned vegetable company long before it was named Green Giant. Known for presiding over the vegetables grown in his valley, the Green Giant was so popular that the Minnesota Valley Canning Company changed its name to match their mascot. The original mascot was a white (not green) man holding a giant pea pod in his arms. His appearance changed in 1935 thanks to the advertising company that created other food mascots such as Tony the Tiger, and the Pillsbury Doughboy.

BENEDICT  ARNOLD

Answer: On this day in 1780, during the American Revolution, American General Benedict Arnold met with British Major John Andre to discuss handing over West Point to the British, in return for the promise of a large sum of money and a high position in the British army. The plot was foiled and Arnold, a former American hero, became synonymous with the word “traitor.” Arnold, fled to the enemy side and later moved to England. He died in 1801, and was buried at St. Mary’s Church in Battersea, London. As a result of a clerical error, his remains were removed to an unmarked mass grave a century later.

EGG TEMPERATURE

Answer: Temperature is the deciding factor in an alligator`s gender, according to Dr. Paul Cardeilhac, a professor of veterinary medicine at the University of Florida. Alligators and some turtles are known to display temperature-dependent sex determination (TSD), where the temperature of the environment in which the eggs are raised in determines the sex of the individual. For example in the alligator's eggs, incubation at 34ºC and above produces mostly males, while incubation at 30ºC and below produces mostly females.
