Ford Fairlane Ford Edsel Ford Taurus Ford Torino It seems to me that Edsel is the only one of these that kinda sounds like a name of a person?? So I'll go with it! 11 hours ago, dgrimm60 said: FORD EDSEL Answer: The 1958 Ford Edsel was supposed to be the new premiere car for middle-class Americans. Marketing research and development for the new intermediate line had begun in 1955 under the code name "E car", which stood for "experimental car." Ford Motor Company eventually decided on the name "Edsel", in honor of Edsel B. Ford, son of the company's founder, Henry Ford. The car never gained popularity with contemporary car buyers and sold poorly. The 1958 Ford Edsel remains one of the biggest flops in corporate history. ps:Never could understand what people didn't like about this car!! I personally thought it was a great looking car.

Lightning Rod Bifocals Franklin Stove Earmuffs 2 hours ago, dgrimm60 said: FRANKIN STOVE Answer: On this day in 1706, Benjamin Franklin was born. Franklin did a lot of things in his 84 years on this planet—inventing bifocals, the Franklin stove, the lightening rod, and, oh yeah, helping to create the United States. In his day, Benjamin Franklin was Steve Jobs, Thomas Edison, Mark Zuckerberg, and Henry Ford, all rolled into one. His inventions were practical and designed to make everyday life easier. Although he didn’t patent any of his inventions, we still make use of many of them today. He considered his inventions a gift to the public.

Twin actors and celebrities are pretty rare given that only 2% of the world's population are twins, and only 0.2% are identical twins. In addition to famous twins like Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, there are a number of celebrities that you may not have known are part of a pair. Ashton Kutcher, Scarlett Johansson, Kiefer Sutherland, Gisele Bündchen, and even Vin Diesel all have twin siblings.

The Flintstones The Simpsons The Jetsons The Bradys Was thinking the Flinstones 20 hours ago, dgrimm60 said: THE JETSONS Answer: The Jetsons was an animated sitcom produced by Hanna-Barbera originally airing in primetime from 1962 to 1963. It was the first TV show on ABC to be broadcast in color. It had a catchy theme tune and a whole bunch of wacky ideas about what 2063 would look like. Astro is the family dog and the best friend of the father, George Jetson and the son, Elroy. Veteran voice actor Don Messick was the voice behind Astro. He also voiced the characters of Scooby Doo in the animated TV series "Scooby Doo, Where Are You?", Boo Boo in "Yogi Bear" and Papa Smurf in "The Smurfs".

In the World Wrestling Federation, André was a one-time WWF World Heavyweight Champion and a one-time WWF Tag Team Champion. He famously feuded with Hulk Hogan, culminating at WrestleMania III in 1987. His best-remembered film role was that of Fezzik, the giant in The Princess Bride. His size was a result of gigantism caused by excess growth hormone, which later resulted in acromegaly. It also led to his being called "The Eighth Wonder of the World".

At 630 feet, it holds the title of the tallest man-made monument in the United States. It was built as a monument to the westward expansion of the United States. The Arch is 75 feet taller than the Washington Monument and over twice as tall as the Statue of Liberty. The 60-foot heads carved on the face of Mount Rushmore are designed to the scale of men who would stand 465 feet tall, a height that would easily allow such giants to walk through the legs of the Arch!

Anyone who had a television in the 1970s can easily answer that it was Mary Tyler Moore. Many could also add that she'd also "take a nothing day, and suddenly make it all seem worthwhile." As delivered at the beginning of each episode of "The Mary Tyler Moore Show," those are the lines from the song "Love Is All Around," written by singer-songwriter Sonny Curtis. These words helped set the tone for the sitcom about an unmarried, independent woman trying to make a go of it in Minneapolis.

His life and work have been honored with a national holiday, public buildings named after him, and a memorial in Washington, D.C. At age 35, he received the Nobel Peace Prize for combating racial inequality through nonviolent resistance. In 1977, he was posthumously awarded the Medal of Freedom by President Jimmy Carter. In 1971 he was posthumously awarded a Grammy Award for Best Spoken Word Album for his Why I Oppose the War in Vietnam. King has never been awarded the Pulitzer Prize.

Dr. Martin Luther King on April 4th, 1968, an extraordinary moment in American political history occurred as Robert F. Kennedy, younger brother of slain President John F. Kennedy, broke the news of King's death to a large gathering of African Americans that evening in Indianapolis, Indiana. Some describe it as one of the greatest speeches ever made. Just two months later, Robert Kennedy himself was gunned down during a celebration following his victory in the California primary.
