Quick Quilted Quality Qwertys Quality Answer: That’s right, the "Q" stands for quality. Q-tips were first conceived by Leo Gerstenzang, who observed his wife stick bits of cotton to toothpicks. He decided that his wife had the right idea and decided to start manufacturing ready to use cotton swabs. For the first three years, the cotton swabs were called “Baby Gays,” which the company would be modified to become “Q-tips Baby Gays.” Eventually, they dropped “Baby Gays” altogether and were just left with Q-tips. The term "Q-tips" is now often used as a genericized trademark for cotton swabs. Quote phkrause When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; But when a wicked man rules, the people groan.

Elton John John Mayer Tony Bennett Kanye West John Mayer 20 hours ago, dgrimm60 said: JOHN MAYER Answer: It's one of the biggest honors in the music industry, winning a Grammy award. The thought of breaking one in half is unheard of, but that's exactly what John Mayer did to one of his Grammy's after winning it. So where is the other half of his seventh Grammy award? For that answer, you'll have to visit Alicia Keys' home! Back in 2005, John and Alicia were both up for Song Of The Year. Mayer ended up with the Grammy, but believed it should have gone to Alicia for her song "If I Ain't Got You" instead of his song "Daughters". After the ceremony, Mayer broke his Grammy and gave her the top half of the award.

Bill Gates Carl Sagan George Lucas Steven Hawking Carl Sagan 7 hours ago, dgrimm60 said: CARL SAGAN Answer: Carl Sagan was one of the most well-known scientists of the 1970s and 1980s. Sagan helped to popularize science through the writing of hundreds of articles and over two dozen books. In 1975, he won a Pulitzer Prize for his book "The Dragons of Eden." His television series "Cosmos" was one of the most watched shows in public television history, and has been seen by more than 500 million people in 60 different countries. Scientists have paid tribute to Sagan's deathless phrase "billions and billions," by naming a unit of measurement after him. The sagan is a number equal to at least 4 billion.

Great Balls Of Fire Rock Around The Clock Tutti Frutti Jailhouse Rock Tutti Frutti 7 hours ago, dgrimm60 said: TUTI FRUTI Answer: "Tutti Frutti" is a song written and first recorded by Little Richard in 1955. It would became Little Richard's first major hit record. With its energetic refrain, often transcribed as "A-wop-bop-a-loo-bop-a-wop-bam-boom!", it became not only a model for many future Little Richard songs, but also a model for rock and roll itself. The song introduced several of rock music's most characteristic musical features, including its loud volume and powerful vocal style. In April 2012, Rolling Stone magazine declared the refrain "the most inspired rock lyric ever recorded".
