Tubagirl's Trivia Thread

I’m hosting a trivia thread. When someone answers a question, I’ll post another one. No score keeping. Just trying to keep busy while at work.

  1. Sports: In 1868 this phonomenom happened for the first recorded time.

correction:
On this date in 1868

Baseball: Grand-Slam Home run?

nope.

here is another one to chew on:

How many squirts from a cow does it take to fill a gallon of milk? ( within 10 squirts)

243

DINGDINGDINGDING!!!
Zumba The Cat Has Answered correctly. It takes 345 squirts to make a gallon of milk!!!

next question;

What do these 4 women have in common:
Mary Anne Nichols, Martha Turner, Annie Chapman, Elizabeth Stride, and Catherine Eddowes?

I’m a retard, there are 5 women…

Hmm, .75 oz/squirt, 32 ozs/qt, 4 qts/gallon…

I’m guessing 170.

Here’s one - how is 243 within 10 of 345?

Geez, where have I been. BTW 243 squirts is NOT within ten squirts of 345. Unless your dyslexia is kicking in.

You said it much better, mom. Man, am I slow today!

Thanks tuba. I said 243. But you knew that I meant to say 345! You read my mind :slight_smile: I love to be right even when I am wrong.

For the next question I am going to say that all five women were victims of Jack the Ripper.

OK, so Zumba is right about the Jack the Ripper thing. Sorry, I’m tired and at work. I obviously can’t read the quotes correctly. hell I can’t even post questions correctly. but this is my first time doing this

SORRY!!!

Next question;

What is artist Xavier Roberts famous for?

Xavier Roberts made dolls. I think that he may have made Cabbage Patch Kids but I am not sure about that.

Good! Now lets get a little harder;

Why did the US Government use the McKinley Building?

The McKinley bldg was the first home of the manhattan project. Incidently, mustard gas was also first produced there. The McKinley bldg is now the physics bldg at American University.

I got three in a row right! Even if the first one doesn’t really count :slight_smile:

Thank you for the game Tubagirl. I had better playing now though. Otherwise you are going to have to change the name to “Tubagirl’s Trivia Thread That Got Zumba Fired”.

I love Trivia!

they tested the a-bomb in it?

or is it in Area 51?

Hi tubagirl,

Just an observation, but you seemed a lot smarter when you were single. I wonder if there’s a connection???

:: smile, ducks, and runs ::

I took 2 vicoprofen(sp?) last night for a headache and I am still buzzing away on it.

Anyway, back to th question, You are all wrong. That isn’t WHY it was used. That is waht was done inside of it. Now why did they use the Mckinley building. What was special about that building?
