Father and Son Cousins Brothers Uncle and Nephew Cousins PHKRAUSE the answer is COUSINS dgrimm60 Answer: The two former presidents who led the country three decades apart were actually fifth cousins. Although the men were born 24 years apart, they both attended Harvard, and both attended Columbia Law School. Franklin D. Roosevelt followed his fifth cousin Theodore's example when he entered politics and won election to the New York State Senate and later became the 32nd President. Teddy Roosevelt was more closely related to Franklin's wife Eleanor, who was his niece. (She was the daughter of Teddy's brother Elliot.) It was Eleanor's Uncle Theodore who gave away her away at her wedding to Franklin Roosevelt on March 17, 1905.

Pow Boom Puff Slam Pow PHKRAUSE the answer is POW dgrimm60 Answer: In 1941, the cartoon mascots Snap, Crackle, and Pop first first appeared on boxes of Kellogg’s Rice Krispies to represent the unique sounds the cereal made when mixed with milk. But for a short period of time Snap, Crackle, and Pop weren’t the only elves in town. There was briefly a fourth elf-like character in the 1950s named "Pow" which represented the nutritional "power" of the whole grain rice in Rice Krispies. Sadly, Pow’s popularity never quite took off, and today Pow remains a mere “footnote” in the history of Kellogg’s.

Bears Hogs Boars Bulls Hogs 23 hours ago, dgrimm60 said: HOGS Answer: For nearly 100 years, Harley-Davidson motorcycles have been referred to as "hogs." Although you may assume that this nickname has something to do with the size or sound of their motorcycles, the true origins of the nickname are rooted in racing. In the years leading up to World War I, Harley riders dominated the sport of motorcycle racing. The Harley-Davidson racing team acquired a pet piglet, which was quickly adopted as the team's mascot. A tradition soon began of riding a victory lap after each win with the pig, whose name was Johnny. It is because of "Johnny the Pig" that Harley-Davidson motorcycles are called "hogs."

Soccer Hockey Football Basketball Soccer 10 hours ago, dgrimm60 said: SOCCER Answer: The clock in soccer works very differently to the way the clock works in other sports. In soccer, the time on the clock counts up rather than counting down. The use of a continuous running clock that counts up means that a single referee can keep the time rather than relying on a countdown timer as other sports do. In most soccer matches, the clock does not stop running, except at halftime. Any delay during the game is noted by the referee who will then use their discretion to add on an equivalent amount of time at the end of each half. Unlike other sports, there are no timeouts in soccer that give teams a chance to stop the game clock.

Little tongues Little ribbons Little sleeves Little turnips Little turnips 10 hours ago, dgrimm60 said: LITTLE TURNIPS Answer: Ravioli is an Italian dumpling that is typically stuffed with meat, cheese, or vegetables. The filling is sealed between two thin layers of egg pasta dough and typically served with a tomato or cream-based sauce. The origin of the word is derived from rapa, the Italian word for “turnip.” Therefore the word “ravioli” literally means “little turnips”. The origin of this famous Italian staple food dates back to the 14th century. Though ravioli may take a number of shapes, including circular or even triangular forms, the traditional shape of ravioli are square.
