Bart Simpson Ned Flanders Milhouse Van Houten Charles Montgomery Burns Milhouse Van Houten 6 hours ago, dgrimm60 said: MILHOUSE VAN HOUTEN Answer: Milhouse Van Houten is a fictional character in the animated television series The Simpsons, voiced by Pamela Hayden, and created by Matt Groening. Groening named the character after U.S. President Richard Nixon, whose middle name was Milhous. The name was the most "unfortunate name Matt Groening could think of for a kid". Milhouse is Bart Simpson's best friend in Mrs. Krabappel's fourth grade class at Springfield Elementary School. Milhouse was designed by Matt Groening for a Butterfinger commercial, and it was decided to use the character in the series.

Jimmy Fallon Jerry Springer Jimmy Kimmel Maury Povich Jerry Springer 6 hours ago, dgrimm60 said: JERRY SPRINGER Answer: Jerry Springer is a talk show host, best known for his tabloid talk show, The Jerry Springer Show. The Jerry Springer Show debuted in 1991, and eventually garnered huge ratings for its focus on lowbrow topics. Springer ends each show by giving a formal lecture with the concluding statement, "Till next time, take care of yourselves and each other," which was his sign-off line during his days as a newscaster in Cincinnati. In June 2018, after 4,000 episodes, Springer quietly decided to end his talk show. Existing episodes of The Jerry Springer Show will still be available through syndication.

Denmark Portugal Sweden Saudi Arabia Sweden 23 hours ago, dgrimm60 said: SWEDEN Answer: In the US, parents can name their children pretty much whatever they like. But other countries around the world are stricter about baby names. Some names are banned because officials believe it will harm the child, and other names are banned to maintain the country's cultural identity. It’s a good thing the King of Rock 'n' Roll wasn’t born in Sweden because his name would be against the law. Government officials have also blocked Swedish parents from naming their kids after another legendary rock band— "Metallica." And it goes without saying, but you can’t name a child "Ikea" in Sweden either. Quote phkrause When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; But when a wicked man rules, the people groan.

Jacuzzi Chapstick Kleenex Xerox Xerox 3 hours ago, dgrimm60 said: XEROX Answer: When The Haloid Company was founded in 1906, no one expected the company to grow to one of the biggest international document management corporations. The success of their first dry plain paper photocopier (Xerox 914) was so huge that the company changed its name to Haloid Xerox in 1958. The name was chosen based on the unique dry printing technique. Three years later, another renaming occurred and the company was called simply Xerox. The word Xerox has grown to become a synonym for a copy machine (just as pampers became a synonym for changeable diapers).

In 1800, Italian physicist Alessandro Volta created the first modern day battery when he built what came to be known as his voltaic pile. The voltaic pile consisted of pairs of copper and zinc discs piled on top of each other, separated by paper or cloth soaked either in salt water or sodium hydroxide. After his invention was made public, Volta gained instant fame and was celebrated by the famous scientists of his day. In honor of Volta's invention, his name is used as the unit of electromotive measurement known as a volt.

Coca-Cola Mountain Dew Pepsi Dr Pepper Coke Answer: In July of 1985, Coca Cola became the first soft drink consumed in outer space. It was enjoyed by astronauts aboard the Space Shuttle Challenger who sipped the soda from a specially designed "space can." In 1995, diet Coke became the first diet soft drink in space and the Space Shuttle Discovery’s mission marked the first use of soft-drink fountain equipment in space. Over the years, Coca-Cola made a serious investment into their space research. In addition to a desire to offer a refreshment for astronauts, Coca-Cola was also observing the effects of space flight on changes in taste perception.
