Moby-DickOf Mice and MenThe Great GatsbyThe Old Man and the Sea Of Mice and Men 5 hours ago, dgrimm60 said: OF MICE AND MEN Answer: "The dog ate my homework" is an excuse many children have considered using at least once. For John Steinbeck, the first draft of his novel "Of Mice and Men" really was eaten by his dog Toby. “Two months worth of work, gone. My setter pup, left alone one night, made confetti of about half of my manuscript. I was pretty mad, but the poor little fellow may have been acting critically," Steinbeck wrote his agent. Fortunately, John Steinbeck was able to rewrite the draft, and on this day in 1937, his novella “Of Mice and Men”, was published.

BushKim Jong-un Saddam Hussein 20 hours ago, dgrimm60 said: SADDAM HUSSEIN Answer: Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein’s selection of Whitney Houston’s "I Will Always Love You" for his sham campaign in 2002 is perhaps the most nonsensical choice of a campaign song in political history. Apparently the song was played from dawn to dusk throughout the country, until the election was held. By all accounts it did a great job. Official figures showed a voter turnout of 100 percent, with an even more surprising result. The voters had overwhelmingly supported Saddam Hussein in the referendum for president, with a 100% of the vote.

A Greek-Canadian named Sam Panopoulos living in Ontario, Canada, said that he was the inventor of the Hawaiian pizza.

I'm going to go with Pride?? 18 hours ago, dgrimm60 said: PARLIAMENT Answer: Many people may be familiar with collective terms such as a “murder” of crows, a “pack” of wolves and a “gaggle” of geese. But what is the collective term for a group of owls? Owls are generally solitary, but when seen together the group is called a “parliament” as they have long been considered to be of a wise disposition. In Greek mythology, the owl is the symbol for Athena, the goddess of wisdom. There are different theories as to why exactly they’ve been considered wise, but most believe it’s due to their wide-eyed, seemingly watchful, thoughtful gaze, and ability to see at night.

Abraham LincolnGiorgio ArmaniErnest HemingwayFrank Lloyd Wright My guess? Ernest Hemingway Answer: Lincoln Logs were invented by John Lloyd Wright, second son of the architect Frank Lloyd Wright. The mold for the toy was based on the architecture of the Imperial Hotel in Tokyo, designed by the inventor's father. The foundation of the hotel was designed with interlocking log beams, which made the structure "earthquake-proof". A century after their creation, Lincoln Logs continue to be popular in a high-tech world. Over 100 million sets have been sold worldwide, and Lincoln Logs were inducted into the National Toy Hall of Fame in 1999.
