The building stands 1,454 feet tall, including its antenna. Its name is derived from "Empire State", the nickname of New York. As of 2019, the building is the 5th-tallest completed skyscraper in the United States and the 28th-tallest building in the world. The Empire State Building stood as the world's tallest building for nearly 40 years until the completion of the 110-story North Tower of the original World Trade Center was completed.

HEARST Answer: Citizen Kane, now revered as one of the greatest movies in history, was released on this day in 1941. The film examines the life and legacy of Charles Foster Kane, played by Orson Welles. The character is loosely based upon the life of newspaper publishing baron William Randolph Hearst. Hearst, enraged at the unflattering portrait of himself in the film, used his massive influence to attempt to prevent the film from being released. Welles and the studio resisted the pressure, but Hearst and his Hollywood friends ultimately succeeded in pressuring theater chains to limit showings of Citizen Kane.

Apparently, Shakespeare had an unusual obsession with burial and a fear of exhumation. Those visiting his tomb, will notice a sign on his grave that is believed to be penned by William Shakespeare himself. The inscription is in fact, a curse that reads: “Good friend for Jesus sake forbeare, To dig the dust enclosed here. Blessed be the man that spares these stones, And cursed be he that moves my bones.” Quote phkrause When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; But when a wicked man rules, the people groan.

"What A Wonderful World""My Way""Unchained Melody""New York, New York" My Way 17 hours ago, dgrimm60 said: MY WAY Answer: "My Way" is a song popularized in 1969 by Frank Sinatra. Its lyrics were written by Paul Anka. Anka, who was a very popular singer, pitched the song to Frank Sinatra, who recorded it on December 30, 1968. Although it became Frank Sinatra's signature song, his daughter Tina says the singer came to hate the song. "He didn't like it. That song stuck and he couldn't get it off his shoe. He always thought that song was self-serving and self-indulgent." The song is popularly associated with nostalgia to an individual's lifetime of events. As a result, "My Way" is the song most frequently played at funeral services in the UK.

Lana TurnerMargaret KerryMarilyn MonroeGina Lollobrigida Margaret Kerry 6 hours ago, dgrimm60 said: MARGARET KERRY Answer: Tinker Bell might be a cartoon character in Walt Disney’s animated film “Peter Pan,” but the fairy is based on a real person. Margaret Kerry was selected to play the part in the early 1950s to pantomime Tinker Bell’s actions in front of a live-action film camera to provide Disney’s animators with reference footage for the character. As Tinker Bell was to be non verbal, her movements would be integral, and the studio sought a dancer that could help embody the character. Margaret Kerry won the part and spent six months at the Disney Studios on a mostly empty sound stage pantomiming the role.

Massachusetts VermontVirginia North Dakota Massachusetts PHKRAUSE the answer is MASSACHUSETTS dgrimm60 Answer: In 1963 America adopted the postal code, and named it Zone Improvement Plan code or ZIP code for short. The Zip code is used in all 50 states as well as the American territories. The first ZIP code was issued to Agawam, Massachusetts. The town's postal code is 01001. Agawam is a town rich in history - from its founding in 1636, to its incorporation in 1855, to having the first Zip Code in the United States. Agawam's ZIP code of 01001 is the lowest number in the continental United States (not counting codes used for specific government buildings such as the IRS).

The date was chosen for the pun on the catchphrase "May the Force be with you" as "May the Fourth be with you". The quote “Do or do not. There is no try.” was spoken by Yoda, played by Frank Oz, in the film Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back. This is Yoda’s most memorable quote, and one of the greatest in all of Star Wars. Outside of the film, the line has become a modern slogan — a reminder to commit oneself to something completely, win or lose.

Television commercials featured C3P0 and his trusty sidekick, R2D2 engaged in various intergalactic adventures with a bowl of crunchy cereal bits always close at hand. Each box included some form of movie collectible, such as stickers of the film’s characters. Unfortunately, even with one of the most recognizable robots in history as a pitchman, it wasn’t enough to mask the fact that C-3PO’s were an unsweetened cereal that didn’t appeal enough to the sugar-addicted youth of our planet.

Independence DayBattle of PueblaBirthday of Benito JuarezRevolution Day Battle of Puebla Answer: Cinco de Mayo is a celebration held on May 5. The date is observed to commemorate the Mexican army's unlikely victory over French forces at the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862, under the leadership of General Ignacio Zaragoza Seguín. The victory of the smaller Mexican force against a larger French force was a major boost to morale for the Mexicans. Mexican-Americans in California began celebrating Cinco de Mayo the following year to show solidarity with Mexico against French rule. In the United States, Cinco de Mayo is frequently confused with Mexican Independence Day, which is on September 16th.
