: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.
Yeah…he sure is.
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.

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.
Romans, Galatians, Titus, Lamentations
Another Guess - Titus - I assume that’s the only one that not a book of the bible.
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.
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.
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!
