Answer the trivia question and get to ask your own. If you _know_ the answer, give it and just forge right ahead with your next question. If you don’t _know_ the answer for sure, then don’t answer. That way, the asker of a question doesn’t have to monitor the thread. And unlike, say, the Daily Feud, no googling or research of any kind is allowed, unless you do it _after_ deciding on the answer you are going to give. After deciding, do all the research needed to insure you are correct, and then post your answer. You have to know this from memory or other brain related activity (deduction, induction, etc). If this turns out how I imagine, this thread should go well into the late 2030’s! Room temperature eggs are essential to making a perfect souffle. Yet as a rule, the French, masters of the souffle, don’t include this info in their cookbooks. Why not? ---

Because the French don’t refrigerate their eggs. All eggs are room temperature. Usually they are stored on the kitchen counter. My turn: Many know hitters have been thrown in the Major Leagues, what was special about a no-no thrown by Gaylord Perry and one thrown by Ray Washburn? SSG Schwartz ---
