Well I know its not Barry! I'm pretty sure its not Diane! Has to be either Bruce or Brian?

A. Bruce Johnston

Manilow didn't write the song - Beach Boys member Bruce Johnston wrote the 1976 hit.

Sandra Day O'Connor

Answer: On September 25, 1981, Sandra Day O'Connor was sworn in as the first female justice on the U.S. Supreme Court. President Ronald Reagan nominated her to the Supreme Court to fill the seat of retiring justice Potter Stewart. She received unanimous Senate approval, and made history as the first woman justice to serve on the nation's highest court. O'Connor was a key swing vote in many important cases, including the upholding of Roe v. Wade. A Republican, she was considered a moderate conservative and served for 24 years.

LOL, I picked Ginsberg

Definitely Ford

Answer: The Ford Thunderbird was an automobile that was manufactured by Ford in the United States over eleven model generations from 1955 through 2005. Ford positioned the Thunderbird as an upscale model and is credited in developing a new market segment, the personal luxury car. The name Thunderbird comes from the deserts of Arizona and New Mexico, where, according to Indian legend, the Thunderbird was a divine helper of man. From its introduction in 1955 to its phase-out in 2005, Ford produced over 4.4 million Thunderbirds.

Kennedy vs. Nixon

If I had been old enough to vote, I would've voted for Kennedy!!

Answer: On September 26, 1960, 70 million U.S. viewers tuned in to watch Senator John Kennedy of Massachusetts and Vice President Richard Nixon in the first-ever televised presidential debate. It was the first of four televised "Great Debates" between Kennedy and Nixon. Following the debate, most TV viewers believed that Kennedy had been the victor. Conversely though, radio listeners found that Nixon had a slight edge over Kennedy. Polls revealed that more than half of all voters had been influenced by the Great Debates, while 6% claimed that the debates alone had decided their choice. Whether or not the debates cost Nixon the presidency, they were a major turning point in the 1960 race, and in the history of television.

The King!! What no one knows this?? And I don't even like golf!! LOL

Answer: Arnold Palmer, nicknamed "The King," died yesterday from heart complications at the age of 87. Palmer is regarded as one of the greatest players in professional golf history. He was the first golfer to win the Masters Tournament four times and won 93 tournaments during his career. In 1968, he became the first golfer to reach $1 million in career earnings. In 1974, “The King” became one of the 13 original inductees into the World Golf Hall of Fame.

I have no idea!!  LOL I guessed right :)

Answer: The Great Seal of the United States is used to authenticate certain documents issued by the U.S. federal government. The Latin phrase E Pluribus Unum (Out of Many, One) is included in the Great Seal of the United States, being one of the nation's mottos at the time of the seal's creation. E Pluribus Unum refers to the fact that the United States was formed as a cohesive single nation as the result of the thirteen smaller colonies joining together. Never codified by law, E Pluribus Unum was considered a de facto motto of the U.S. until 1956 when congress passed an act adopting "In God We Trust" as the official motto.

Douglas of course!

Answer: The Lincoln–Douglas Debates of 1858 (also known as The Great Debates of 1858) were a series of seven debates between Abraham Lincoln, the Republican candidate for the United States Senate from Illinois, and incumbent Senator Stephen Douglas, the Democratic Party candidate. Historians have regarded the series of debates as among the most significant statements in American political history. The widespread coverage of the debates transformed Lincoln into a national figure and led to his election to the presidency in 1860.

40 times is the charm - it took chemist Norm Larsen 40 tries to get the lubricant's formula correct.

Answer: President Theodore Roosevelt established the first national monument, Devils Tower in Wyoming, on September 24, 1906. Devils Tower is a laccolithic butte composed of igneous rock in the Bear Lodge Mountains in northeastern Wyoming. The monolith known as Devils Tower rises 1,267 feet above Belle Fourche River. What you see today at the Devils Tower National Monument is the remains of an ancient volcanic structure. Referred to by several tribes as Bears Lodge, it is a site of worship for many American Indians.

Answer: Roman numerals, the numeric system of ancient Rome, uses combinations of letters from the Latin alphabet to signify values. L represents the number 50. Today's use of Roman numerals tends to be more for cosmetic purposes than function. FUN FACT: The NFL broke its tradition of using Roman numerals for the Super Bowl and branded its 2016 championship game as "Super Bowl 50" instead of "Super Bowl L". The NFL said that the tradition of using Roman numerals will be reinstated in 2017 with Super Bowl LI at NRG Stadium in Houston.
