Thomas Paine Francis Scott Key Patrick Henry Francis Bellamy Francis Bellamy 5 hours ago, dgrimm60 said: FRANCIS BELLOMY Answer: The Pledge of Allegiance was written in August 1892 by the socialist minister Francis Bellamy. It was originally published in The Youth's Companion on September 8, 1892. The Pledge was supposed to be quick and to the point. Bellamy designed it to be recited in 15 seconds. In 1954, in response to the Communist threat of the times, President Eisenhower encouraged Congress to add the words "under God," creating the 31-word pledge we say today. Bellamy's daughter objected to this alteration. Quote phkrause When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; But when a wicked man rules, the people groan. Proverbs 29;2

Archery Equestrian Fencing Shooting Equestrian 10 hours ago, dgrimm60 said: EQUESTRAIN Answer: Generally, most sports segregate men’s and women’s competitions to ensure the sport is competitive and more enjoyable to both play and watch. However, not all sports completely segregate male and female competition. In the equestrian events of the Summer Olympics, women and men compete directly against each other. No one cares if the horses or their riders are male or female—they jump, event, and prance on equal terms. Men and women also compete together in sailing although it is only in one particular class, the Nacre 17. Other classes are segregated by sex.

Ferns Orchids Lotus Spiderwort Orchids 10 hours ago, dgrimm60 said: ORCHIDS Answer: Whether it's vanilla extract in your chocolate chip cookies or vanilla beans for ice cream, vanilla is used in many different recipes. But did you know that Vanilla comes from an orchid? The most widely used orchid to produce vanilla is the Vanilla planifolia. After the Vanilla orchid flower is pollinated, the orchid’s seed pod develops into what we know as a vanilla bean. Once they are harvested, they are sold either as vanilla beans or used to create vanilla extract. Today, Mexico and Madagascar is where most vanilla is grown and harvested commercially.

Jazz Hangman Spaghetti Zigzag Jazz 9 hours ago, dgrimm60 said: JAZZ Answer: In case you don’t remember, Hangman is a game where a player chooses a word and the other players try to guess it by asking which letters it contains. Mathematician Jon McLoone created a computer program to simulate nearly 15 million games of Hangman using 90,000 words in the dictionary. His computer simulation helped him uncover that "jazz" is the hardest word to guess in the game. The reason is simple: shorter words give the guesser fewer chances to get the correct letter, and “jazz” is framed by two uncommon letters: J and Z.
