North KoreaSaudi ArabiaNigeriaRussia North Korea 11 hours ago, dgrimm60 said: NORTH KOREA Answer: There are only two countries in the world where Coca-Cola cannot be bought or sold. They are Cuba and North Korea, which are both under long-term US trade embargoes. Cuba was one of the first three countries outside the U.S. to bottle Coke back in 1906. But after the Cuban Revolution, Fidel Castro's government began seizing private assets and the company liquidated and exited the country in 1960. Coca-Cola has never operated in North Korea. Coca-Cola claims that if any drinks are being sold in either North Korea or Cuba, they are being smuggled in on the black market, and not via official channels.

Marilyn MonroeHelen RuthEleanor Gehrig Effa Manley Effa Manley 11 hours ago, dgrimm60 said: EFFA MANLEY Answer: Effa Manley is the only woman elected into the National Baseball Hall of Fame. Inducted in 2006, Mrs. Manley and her husband Abe were the owners of the Newark Eagles; one of the most renowned Negro League baseball teams (1936 – 1949). A Caucasian thought to be black because she was raised in an African-American family, Mrs. Manley ran the day-to-day operations of the team. Very outspoken and opinionated, she had to fight not only racism but also the male chauvinist attitudes of the other Negro League baseball owners to be successful. Her team won the 1946 Negro League World Series Championship. Quote phkrause When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; But when a wicked man rules, the people groan. Proverbs 29;2

WhiteBlueYellowGreen Yellow I believe 6 hours ago, dgrimm60 said: yellow Answer: Yes, yellow was the standard color for stop signs for nearly 30 years. In fact, the red stop sign has only been the standard for the last 60 years. Before then, the octagonal traffic sign was yellow, with the word STOP in black letters. It wasn’t until 1954 that the stop sign became the bright red color, adorned with white letters that we now know today. This change also served to distinguish the regulatory stop sign from yellow warning signs, and also made the color consistent with that of red traffic signal indications, which for decades had used red to signal "stop".

Though U.S. and South Vietnamese forces managed to hold off the attacks, news coverage of the massive offensive shocked the American public and eroded support for the war effort. The series of surprise attacks, named for their occurrence during the lunar New Year (or “Tet”) holiday, was a major turning point in the Vietnam War and the beginning of the slow, painful American withdrawal from the region.

PHKRAUSE my guess is MONKEY dgrimm60 Answer: Phish is an American rock band that was founded at the University of Vermont in 1983. The band is known for musical improvisation, extended jams, blending of genres, and a dedicated fan base. Vermont-based ice cream conglomerate Ben & Jerry's launched "Phish Food" in recognition of their shared Vermont heritage. The band officially licensed their name for use with the product, and were directly involved with the creation of the flavor. Phish's portion of the proceeds from the flavor are donated to the band's non-profit charity The WaterWheel Foundation, which raises funds for the preservation of Vermont's Lake Champlain.

Members phkrause Posted February 1, 2019 Author Members Posted February 1, 2019 18 hours ago, phkrause said: Do Any Members of Royalty Own a McDonald’s Franchise? You could say that Queen Elizabeth owns one, but it is actually the Crown Estate, which manages investments for the British crown, that owns a McDonald’s about 80 miles from London. It’s part of the Banbury Gateway Shopping Park, which contains the fast-food restaurant; a Primark, which is a fashion store; Starbucks and other shops. Considering the Queen is careful about her diet, it is unlikely that she ever ate there, though. 18 hours ago, phkrause said: Are McDonald’s Menus the Same Around the Country? A McDonald’s menu may have variations depending on where you live in the world, and some offer specialty items. For example, a McDonald’s in New England may offer McLobster rolls, while Hawaii can offer a breakfast that includes Spam or noodle soup that comes with fish cake. You can also order McFalafel in Israel, McRice burgers in Singapore or fried shrimp in Russia. 18 hours ago, phkrause said: What Was the Chain’s Worst Food Idea? Ray Kroc invented a burger in 1962 that was aimed toward Catholics, who shunned meat during days of Lent. The "burger" was a slice of grilled pineapple with a piece of cheese slapped on top, and it was sold on a bun. Unfortunately, it failed miserably with clients. McDonald’s other meatless option, the Filet-O-Fish has been a resounding success. Other failures offered by the restaurant chain include the McHotDog; the McGratin Croquette, a patty concoction of mashed potatoes; macaroni and shrimp and McSpaghetti because people just couldn’t wrap their minds around eating Italian food at McDonald’s. 18 hours ago, phkrause said: What Group Was the Big Mac Originally Developed to Serve? The Big Mac debuted in Uniontown, Pennsylvania, as the brainchild of Jim Delligatti, the owner of a McDonald’s there during the 1960s. Delligatti realized that many of his customers were steel workers, and a cheeseburger with one patty wasn’t enough to fill them up. He experimented and ended up inventing the Big Mac, and the rest is history. 18 hours ago, phkrause said: What Was the Main Menu Item at the Original McDonald’s? Owned by Mac and Dick McDonald, the restaurant started off specializing in barbecue in 1940. By 1948, the menu was changed to reflect their most popular menu items: hamburgers, cheeseburgers, pie and potato chips — and that was all that appeared on the menu. Ray Kroc signed on by opening the first franchise in 1955 in Des Plaines, Illinois, with the same menu and low prices.

Britney SpearsMadonnaBeyonceJanet Jackson Janet Jackson On 2/1/2019 at 4:39 PM, dgrimm60 said: JANET JACKSON Answer: Super Bowl XXXVIII, which was broadcast live on this day in 2004, was noted for a controversial halftime show in which Janet Jackson's breast was exposed by Justin Timberlake for about half a second, in what was later referred to as a "wardrobe malfunction". The incident made "Janet Jackson" the most searched term, event, and image in Internet history. YouTube co-founder Jawed Karim claims that this incident was what led to the creation of the video sharing website. The incident also coined the phrase "wardrobe malfunction", which was later added to the dictionary.

PayPal employee Jawed Karim may have been one of the only people on the planet who didn't catch the famed halftime show. But it was the age of the internet, so he should have had no problem finding video of the event, right? Not exactly. Sure, there were images galore, but video was a bit harder to come by. He and his friends had been working away on a dating website, but after this failed search, and realizing that there must be millions of guys, just like him, looking for that video and turning up empty-handed, they decided to pivot and take their company in a different direction. That direction? Putting streaming video on the internet. That company? They would call it YouTube. On 2/1/2019 at 6:08 PM, phkrause said: How Much Did CBS Ultimately Have to Pay in FCC Fines for the Incident? The FCC came down hard on CBS, the station airing the halftime show. They fined them $550,000 which we're told is a giant amount though is probably roughly what the head of Viacom finds in his couch cushions once a week. But CBS appealed the fine. The issue went to the courts, and it was ultimately decided that the fine represented a change in how the FCC handled what were deemed "fleeting images." (Mind you, the images probably weren't fleeting to the millions of people who kept watching the video over and over, but in real time, they were fleeting.) The appeal went all the way to the Supreme Court who ultimately agreed that CBS shouldn't be fined a dime. On 2/1/2019 at 6:08 PM, phkrause said: How Did the Grammys Go That Year for Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake? The backlash came down hard on Janet Jackson. Her new album, which debuted shortly after the Super Bowl, suffered. There were rumors she had been blacklisted by Viacom which was in charge of MTV and VH1. She ended up withdrawing from the Grammys. As for Justin Timberlake, ya know, the guy who actually tore off Jackson's clothes, he received two awards that year. Timberlake would later reflect that even he thought the distribution of outrage was unfair. "I probably got 10 percent of the blame," he said. "I think America's probably harsher on women, and I think America is, you know, unfairly harsh on ethnic people." On 2/1/2019 at 6:08 PM, phkrause said: Who Won the Super Bowl That Year? The New England Patriots. Most people remember exactly one thing from the Super Bowl halftime show that year. The thing we've spent this entire article talking about. ESPN recently ran a massive article about the event and didn't even mention the two teams who played in the game. ESPN!! It's a shame too, because NFL.com called it the fifth most exciting Super Bowl of all time. The game started off a defensive slugfest, then turned into an offensive shootout, featuring back and forth momentum swings. It all capped off when Tom Brady led the game-winning drive and captured his second Super Bowl title. Not that anyone cares.

"The Hustler""Cool Hand Luke""The Sting""The Color of Money" The Color of Money 10 hours ago, dgrimm60 said: THE COLOR OF MONEY Answer: Paul Newman turned to acting after getting kicked off the football team in college. He made his Broadway debut in 1953 and began doing television and films, eventually becoming known as one of the finest actors of his time. In The Hustler (1961), Newman played Fast Eddie, a slick, small-time pool shark who takes on the legendary Minnesota Fats (Jackie Gleason). Twenty-five years after The Hustler, Newman reprised his role of "Fast Eddie" in the Martin Scorsese–directed film The Color of Money (1986), for which he won the Academy Award for Best Actor.
