Literature Word Origins Before & After Potpourri Before & After 20 hours ago, dgrimm60 said: BEFORE AND AFTER Answer: If you’ve been playing along with Jeopardy! at home for the past 30 years, then you’ve undoubtedly noticed that some categories pop up far more often than others. The most commonly recurring category on Jeopardy! is also one of the show's most popular. Since the show premiered in 1964, the most common category is "Before & After". Inspired by a Wheel of Fortune category, the first and second parts of the question share a word in common. When considering the appearance of all Jeopardy! categories, the "Before & After" option accounts for one out of every 387 categories, or about 0.26 percent of all category appearances.

Washington Maryland South Carolina Missouri Washington 8 hours ago, dgrimm60 said: WASHINGTON Answer: The area that makes up the State of Washington was originally known as Columbia, named after the Columbia River. Kentucky representative Richard H. Stanton found the name too similar to the District of Columbia, and proposed naming the new territory after President George Washington. The state was part of the Washington Territory which had been ceded by Britain in 1846 by the Oregon Treaty as a settlement of the Oregon Boundary Dispute. The territory was admitted to the Union as the State of Washinton in 1889. Washington is the only U.S. state named after a president.

Members phkrause Posted June 12, 2020 Author Members Posted June 12, 2020 22 hours ago, phkrause said: The Eiffel Tower was originally intended to stand in which city? Barcelona Cairo Berlin Warsaw Barcelona Answer: A world renowned-landmark of France, the Eiffel Tower is commonly associated with being an architectural wonder and an icon to represent the city of love and lights. It is hard to imagine Paris without the Eiffel Tower, but if everything had gone according to the original plan, the center of Paris would be bare. The Eiffel Tower was originally intended for Barcelona, but Spain rejected the project. This proved to be a costly mistake for Spain who missed out on being the home of this iconic landmark. The Eiffel Tower is the most-visited paid monument in the world with over 6 million people in visiting the tower last year.

Sally Kitty Ellie Daisy Kitty Answer: On this day in 1942, Anne Frank, a young Jewish girl living in Amsterdam, received a diary as a gift from her parents on her 13th birthday. A month later, she and her family went into hiding from the Nazis in rooms behind her father’s office. While hiding, Anne decided to think of her diary as a friend, whom she named Kitty. Frank's diary entries often started with a salutation, usually addressed to "Kitty." So who was Kitty? Some say Kitty was an imaginary friend, while other scholars believe that Anne borrowed the name from her favorite book series, Joop ter Heul, in which the title character’s best friend was named Kitty Francken.

Members phkrause Posted June 13, 2020 Author Members Posted June 13, 2020 21 hours ago, phkrause said: Which daily newspaper is published on pink paper? The Wall Street Journal Financial Times The Guardian USA Today Financial Times Answer: The Financial Times is a British English-language international daily newspaper that focuses on business and economic news. The Financial Times turned pink in 1893 to distinguish itself from the similarly named Financial News. There was another, perhaps even more motivating reason for the sudden burst of color: it was cheaper, because the pinkish hue was actually achieved by bleaching the newsprint less. The FT has grown pinker over the years as its brand became more closely associated with the coloring. Some, including the newspaper itself, prefer to call the current version “salmon pink.” Quote phkrause When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; But when a wicked man rules, the people groan.
