Sylvester StalloneDwayne JohnsonHulk HoganDanny DeVito LOL and quite the twin he was, Danny DeVito 10 hours ago, dgrimm60 said: DANNY DEVITO Answer: Twins is a 1988 film about unlikely twins played by Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny DeVito who were separated at birth. The core of the film is the contrast between DeVito's streetwise persona and Schwarzenegger's character, who is highly intelligent yet socially inexperienced. The film was a commercial success grossing $216 million worldwide. Instead of taking their usual salaries for the film, Schwarzenegger and DeVito both agreed with the studio to take 20% of the film's box office returns; this resulted in them receiving the biggest paychecks of their movie careers.

GrantGerald FordBarack Obama Hiram U S Grant 11 hours ago, dgrimm60 said: UIYSSES S GRANT Answer: President Ulysses S. Grant was born Hiram Ulysses Grant on this day in 1822, in Point Pleasant, Ohio. When Grant was 17, his father arranged for him to enter the United States Military Academy at West Point. A clerical error had listed him as Ulysses S. Grant. Not wanting to be rejected by the school, he changed his name on the spot. Ulysses S. Grant served as the 18th president of the United States from 1869 to 1877. During the American Civil War Grant led the Union Army as its commanding general to victory over the Confederacy with the supervision of President Abraham Lincoln.

OwlEagleFalconOstrich My guess Ostrich 20 hours ago, dgrimm60 said: OSTRICH Answer: As ostriches are the largest birds in the world they also have the largest eyes of any bird in the world. Measuring at 5 centimeters in diameter from front to back, the ostrich eye is five times bigger than the human eye and any other land animal. The ostrich's eyes are about the size of billiard balls. They take up so much room in the skull that the ostrich's brain is actually smaller than either one of its eyeballs. This may be why the ostrich, despite its tremendous running speed, is not very good at eluding predators: It tends to run in circles.

Members phkrause Posted April 29, 2019 Author Members Posted April 29, 2019 21 hours ago, phkrause said: Who Was Muhammad Ali Originally Named After? Ali, whose name was originally Cassius Clay like his father, was named after a white abolitionist who lived during the 19th century and freed 40 the slaves he had inherited. Clay endangered his life by supporting the abolitionist cause. Despite being shot, stabbed and beaten, he survived to age 92. 21 hours ago, phkrause said: How Many Times Did Ali Win the Heavyweight Title? Ali won the heavyweight championship three times as well as a gold medal in the Olympics in 1960. During his career, he won 56 boxing matches — 37 were knockouts, and it is estimated that he absorbed hits 200,000 times during this period. His career lasted for 21 years, and he retired from the ring after losing his last fight to Trevor Berbick. 21 hours ago, phkrause said: Why Was Ali’s Boxing License Suspended? After Ali converted to Islam, he refused to be inducted into military service as during the Vietnam War in 1967. Ali was arrested, his boxing license was suspended and his title stripped. His license was returned by a New York State Supreme Court decision in 1970, and one year later, his conviction was overturned in the U.S. Supreme Court. 21 hours ago, phkrause said: What Surprising Person Challenged Ali to a Boxing Match? Basketball star Wilt Chamberlain challenged Ali to a boxing match, which would have been interesting because the basketball great had a reach that was formidable, was 7’1” compared to Ali’s 6’3” and outweighed the champ by about 40 pounds. Ali began whispering the word “timber” at every opportunity during the conference and in answer to reporter’s questions. Chamberlain was shaken and left to talk to his lawyers, and they announced that there would be no boxing match between the two men. 21 hours ago, phkrause said: Which of Ali’s Boxing Matches Was Held at 4:00 A.M.? The “Rumble in the Jungle” between Ali, 32, and George Foreman, 25, was sponsored by Mobutu Sese Seko, the president of Zaire, in 1974. The match was held in Kinshasa. It was scheduled for before dawn in Africa so that audiences in America could watch the fight during prime time television. In this match, Ali won by a knockout in the eighth round, regaining the heavyweight title he had been stripped of seven years earlier. 21 hours ago, phkrause said: Where Did Ali Negotiate an American Prisoner Release? Ali traveled to Iraq in 1990 to meet with Saddam Hussein and try to negotiate for the release of 15 American hostages. In his negotiation, Ali promised to return to America with an account of Iraq that was honest. All 15 hostages were released and returned to the United States with the prizefighter.

"Don’t Stop Believing""You’re the Best""Eye of the Tiger""We are the Champions" Eye of the Tiger 8 hours ago, dgrimm60 said: EYE OF THE TIGER Answer: "Eye of the Tiger" is a song composed by rock band Survivor. It was the theme song for the film Rocky III, which was released a day before the single. The song was written by Survivor guitarist Frankie Sullivan and keyboardist Jim Peterik, and was recorded at the request of Rocky III star, writer, and director Sylvester Stallone, after Queen denied him permission to use "Another One Bites the Dust", the song Stallone intended as the Rocky III theme. The song was nominated for the 1982 Academy Award for Best Original Song, the only Oscar nomination for Rocky III. It lost to "Up Where We Belong" from An Officer and a Gentleman.

Golf ballTennis ballShuttlecockHockey puck Shuttlecock Answer: A badminton birdie, also known as a shuttlecock is the fastest recorded object in all of sports. The shuttlecock, made with a cork base and sixteen carefully selected goose feathers, is aerodynamic and very light — weighing only about five grams. Its aerodynamic behavior has even influenced the design of the spacecraft SpaceShipOne. According to Guinness World Records, the fastest recorded hit during competition belongs to Denmark’s Mads Pieler Kolding, who managed to smash a 426 kph (264.70 mph) shot, during a Badminton Premier League match in 2017.

The New York TimesThe Boston GlobeThe Washington PostChicago Tribune The Washington Post Answer: Bob Woodward teamed up with Carl Bernstein to investigate the Watergate affair. Their reporting in The Washington Post greatly contributed to the resignation of President Richard Nixon. After winning a Pulitzer Prize in 1973, they wrote the best-selling books “All the President’s Men” and “The Final Days” which chronicled the end of the Nixon administration. The printing plate that made the front page announcing President Richard M. Nixon's resignation still hangs on the wall in a conference room where The Washington Post's editors meet each day.

Morse codeTelephoneVoice recording Sign language Morse code 2 hours ago, dgrimm60 said: MORSE CODE Answer: Thomas Edison was one of history's most influential inventors, but his ingenuity didn't end there. Edison taught his second wife, Mina Miller, Morse code so the two could secretly communicate with each other, even while the family watched. It went beyond that purpose when he actually proposed to Mina in Morse code. When the time came, Edison asked, -- --- ..- .-.. -.. -.-- --- ..- -- .- .-. .-. -.-- -- . ("Will you marry me?") to which she replied -.-- . .. "Yes." The two were married on February 24, 1886. Edison even nicknamed his two eldest children "Dot" and "Dash," a reference to the dots and dashes used in Morse code.

The assailant, a fan of German tennis star Steffi Graf, apparently hoped that by injuring Seles his idol Steffi Graf would be able to regain her No. 1 ranking. Seles became a victim of the on-court attack when 38-year-old Gunter Parche leaned over a fence and stabbed her between the shoulder blades with a 9-inch long knife. Parche was quickly apprehended and Seles was taken to the hospital. She didn’t play again professionally for another two years.
