Trivia question

What nation was bloodlessly, and willingly invaded on this date in history? How many “soldiers” were in the “army”?

7,000 troops to Grenada.

Apparently Ronald Reagan would have been 101 yesterday.

Nope-much smaller “army”, and my use of “invaded” is tongue-in-cheek.

There were 4 soldiers.

What nation were they from? Names?

Is this something to do with the novel/movie/play The Mouse That Roared?

Nope. The last guess is on the right track.

Not the time Swiss soldiers wandered into Liechtenstein by mistake? There were more than 4 Swiss soldiers.

Nope Arnold. They weren’t armed, if it helps.

Google came up with results ranging from the Glorious Revolution to people who “invaded” Indianapolis to “Occupy the Superbowl.”

;)Um, yeah. They were English weren’t they. Didn’t some carry axes and one was armed with sticks?

I’m gonna answer, since nobody’s close: Today is the anniversary of the Beatles landing in America. (IOW, the “British Invasion”)

I wasn’t close?! I was dead on. And I think **Dallas Jones **had it too.

Dallas was close. I guess I was too picky with his answer. :o

What!? And you think I meant the Monkees or something?

People DO say you monkey around…

Oh yeah! Well I oughta… wait, that’s true actually.

Anyway, if I have to be old, I should at least get credit for knowing shit from the dark ages.

I was just letting others have a chance to play too. :wink:

And I thought I knew everything about the Beatles! I should’ve guessed that.

We have a really big shooo for you tonight, here are the Beatles from the Ed Sullivan Show.

Must have took days to clean the moisture off those seats. :smiley:
