Iowa Kansas Oregon Wisconsin Iowa 17 hours ago, dgrimm60 said: IOWA Answer: The Hawkeye State is a popular nickname for the state of Iowa. Adopted early in the state's history, "The Hawkeye State" is a tribute to chief Black Hawk, leader of the Sauk American Indian tribe. According to the state's tourism web site, "Two Iowa promoters from Burlington are believed to have popularized the name." The nickname was given approval by territorial officials in 1838, eight years before Iowa became a state. The University of Iowa's athletic teams are nicknamed the Hawkeyes and feature a mascot named Herky the Hawk.

Calvin and Hobbes The Far Side Beetle Bailey Doonesbury Doonesbury 2 hours ago, dgrimm60 said: DOONESBURY Answer: Cartoonist Garry Trudeau’s Doonesbury comic strip, launched in 1970, has often featured real-life politicians and personalities as characters. One particular Doonesbury strip published in 1999 featuring Donald Trump talking about his presidential candidacy drew attention as an example of the cartoonist’s having foreseen a presidential run by the real estate mogul sixteen years in advance of the real event. Trudeau has featured Trump in his comic strip many times over the last three decades — so much so that in 2016 he published a Yuge! 30 Years of Doonesbury on Trump, a book comprising nothing but Doonesbury strips featuring the Donald Trump character.

For Discover cards these digits must be "6011-xx". The Discover Card was introduced by Sears in 1985. At the time Discover was introduced, Sears was the largest retailer in the United States. Discover is the fourth largest credit card brand in the U.S., behind Visa, MasterCard and American Express, with nearly 44 million cardholders.

The DukeGronkThe ChampPapa Bear My guess Papa Bear?? 22 hours ago, dgrimm60 said: THE CHAMP Answer: The official game ball of the National Football League is stamped with the nickname "The Duke" in honor of Wellington Mara, the longtime owner of the New York Giants, who was named after the Duke of Wellington. Wilson Sporting Goods, the manufacturer of the NFL ball since 1941, named the ball after Wellington Mara to reward his father Tim Mara for arranging the contract that made Wilson the official supplier of footballs to the NFL. The nickname was originally used from 1941 to until 1970. After Wellington Mara died in 2005, “The Duke” returned to the game ball in 2006.

At Waterloo, Napoleon Bonaparte suffered a defeat at the hands of the Duke of Wellington, bringing an end to the Napoleonic era of European history. According to Wellington, the battle was "the nearest-run thing you ever saw in your life". The defeat at Waterloo ended the First French Empire and the political and military career of Napoleon Bonaparte, one of the greatest commanders and statesmen in history.
