Pick the odd one

I think Sirica is the only one who wasn’t on Nixon’s “side” (or on his staff, or something like that) in Watergate.

Yes it is, but I think an Abyssinian is a cat.

I’m guessing all but one won a Nobel Prize (for Literature), but I’m too lazy to track down which one.

Agreed; the others are miracles performed by Jesus in the gospels.

Plus, all four of them have never been in Cliff Clavin’s kitchen. :slight_smile:

The trapezius is a muscle, the other three are bones in the inner ear.

What’s miraculous about wine into water? I do it every night with beer.

:smack: Didn’t notice that! If that was intentional on dougie’s part, I want to change my answer.

(Mmmm… a mountain of caramel…)

Actually, the Chargers started in Los Angeles, and moved to San Diego in 1962 (cite ).

  1. Babe Ruth, Stan Musial, Mickey Mantle, Mark McGwire.

Musial does not have over 500 career home runs.

  1. John Mitchell, John Dean, John Sirica, Charles Colson (and it’s not the name! :stuck_out_tongue: )

John Sirica did not go to jail due to Watergate.

  1. Kings, Richmond, Tooele, Bronx

Tooele is not a county that is in New York City.

  1. Diadem, fedora, peplum, bowler.
    A peplum is not headwear.

Actually, only Indianapolis is a State Capital. (Annapolis, MD. Sacramento, CA. Jefferson City, MO).

Or, perhaps it’s San Diego, because it’s the only one that is NOT the largest city in it’s State.

:o
God forgive me…I meant *WATER * into WINE!! :o
Incidentally: Musial was the odd one out in that unlike Ruth (1919, etc.), Mantle (1955, etc.), or McGwire (1987, etc.), Musial never lead the league in home runs.

But panthers aren’t black.

If you are thinking of a “black panther,” that is actually a color morph of the (African) leopard.

Panthers, aka cougars aka mountain lions, etc. are tan.

Nor are all mambas black. Check out this colorful fella.

Yeah…he sure is. :slight_smile:
Howewer, I would be hard put to find other animal names–as varied as a snake, a bird, and a big cat–with whom so many people associate the color black. Can you do better?

They all did. Sartre was the only one of the four to decline the prize.
Next ten:
21. German silver, sterling, conventional photographic film, hurricane “seeding” solution
22. Wilt Chamberlin, Clyde Frazier, Jerry West, Vlade Divac
23. Belle Poitrine, Bubber, Magdalena Montezuma, Letch Feeley
24. Bisque, Clam Chowder, Vichyssoise, Menudo
25. Romans, Galatians, Titus, Lamentations
26. Collier’s, Liberty, Scientific American, Quinto Lingo
27. Perfective aspect, stem-changing verbs, preterit, personal a
28. Midway, North Africa, Argonne Forest, Britain
29. Good Times, One Day at a Time, Welcome Back Kotter, The Jeffersons
30. Kangaroo, Echidna, Opossum, Wombat

  1. German silver, sterling, conventional photographic film, hurricane “seeding” solution

A guess - German silverfish - There’s sterling silver, film is silver, as is the seeding solution, but German silver isn’t.

  1. Romans, Galatians, Titus, Lamentations

Another Guess - Titus - I assume that’s the only one that not a book of the bible.

  1. Midway, North Africa, Argonne Forest, Britain

I assume we are talking World War II, as there was a “Battle of Britain”, and I gather a battle of Midway. I’ll guess that there wasn’t a battle of Argonne Forest in WWII, as I gather there was a campaign in North Africa, although I don’t really know that much about WWII.

Sounds good to me—and if anyone would know, it’d be a silverfish.

It is indeed a book of the Bible. Lamentations is the only one that’s not in the New Testament (or, to be even more specific, Romans, Galatians, and Titus are all epistles of Paul, though modern scholars are doubtful whether Paul actually wrote Titus).

Was Argonne Forest a WWI battle?

Menudo: the others are all soups. (Or did the singing group name itself after a soup?)

Hmmm. Kangaroos, echidnas, and wombats all live in Australia; but kangaroos, opossums, and wombats are all marsupials.

  1. Bisque, Clam Chowder, Vichyssoise, Menudo

Vichyssoise served cold; rest served hot?

  1. Romans, Galatians, Titus, Lamentations

Lamentations is an Old Testament book, the rest are NT

  1. Kangaroo, Echidna, Opossum, Wombat

echidna is a monotreme, the rest are marsupials

Clyde Frazier never played for the Lakers.

North Africa was a campaign, while the others refer to specific battles. (I think.)

The Jeffersons was set in an upscale neighborhood.

I did indeed list Romans, Galatians, and Titus as books ascribed to Paul.
Yes, Argonne Forest was World War I. Baseball star Eddie Grant died in that battle, about a month before the Armistice. :frowning:
I listed Menudo as a souip; Vichyssoise, like Gazpacho, is traditionally served cold.
By “German silver” I meant an alloy which actually contains no silver. And it’s the only one of the four with “silver” in its name! :stuck_out_tongue:
Now for the thirties:

  1. Jimmie Finlayson, Mae Busch, Ben Turpin, Buster Keaton
  2. Mercury, gallium, iridium, bromine
  3. Lal Shastri, Felix Bandaranaike, Jawaharlal Nehru, Indira Gandhi
  4. Vitameatavegamin; stomping the grapes; Kolak and the walnuts; the walk-in freezer
  5. Alpha-Bits; Apple Jacks; Honeycomb; Grape Nuts
  6. Naked Came the Stranger; Everything You Always Wanted to Know about Sex but Were Afraid to Ask; The Kinsey Report; The Kama Sutra
  7. Rattlesnake, coral snake, copperhead, water moccasin
  8. T-formation; first down; woomik; forward lateral
  9. Hot Springs National Park, Arkansas; Iquique, Chile; Iceland; Yellowstone National Park
  10. Oliver Ellsworth; Michael Musmanno; Morrison Waite; William Howard Taft

Kolak…that was Dick van Dyke, 2 of the others were Lucy, and, thus, I’ll assume the fourth is.

Apple Jacks - the only one not named for its shape.

Naked Came the Stranger - Only work of fiction.

  1. Iridium is not liquid at normal ambient temperatures.
  2. Alpha-Bits does not have a non-cereal food in its name
  3. Coral snakes are not pit vipers.

Hey, you may have something there. But also, Apple Jacks is the only one not made by Post (it’s Kellogg’s).

Of these four venomous North American snakes, the coral snake is the only one that is not a pit viper.—Oops, I see Biffy has beaten me to it.
