That was a Final Jeopardy question recently, Lindbergh was actually the 130 man to cross the Atlantic.
@Polycarp that seems to be what I recall about the the SR-71. You are also correct on 770. IIRC, the recording was actually the two Senators, and not a parody- or at least they were parodying themselves.
But all, alas, incorrect.
Identify these famous U.S. Army units.
776 82nd Airborne
778 7th Calvary
779 20th, I seem to recall from one of my childhood Civil Wars books, “Heroes of the Blue & Gray” - only 60 of the 262 members of the regiment survived the counter-attack.
And thanks for your kind words about all of us in the “Say something nice about another Doper.” This is a great thread, and I have the feeling you could come up with questions almost indefinitely.
As for the other thread, right back 'atcha! Nowadays I keep a piece of paper in my pocket and whenever I think of a question, or a category of questions, I write it down. I limit myself to posting just five a day, though. 
Bob Dylan - Subterranian Homesick Blues:
“You don’t need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows”
Hmm- I thought one of the Airborne divisions were involved in the Central HS desegregation. Then it would have to be the 101st?
Correct, that was also the most popular answer in a category of my Tough Trivial Feud thread.
What he said.
I’m thinking about starting a concurrent World History trivia thread. Anyone else want to play?
In the meantime, in honor of Black History Month:
And a couple of random ones:
784. What was the first Greek-lettered college fraternity?
785. Which president was elected in the biggest landslide? Bonus points for naming the loser.
Washington?
I meant popular vote, not electoral or eligible.
Washington would be the winner as far as electoral votes goes.
1st Minnesota - read an excellent book called *The Last Full Measure * about two brothers who served in this unit.
2nd US Infantry
785: Lyndon Johnson over Barry Goldwater, 1964. The first election I voted in.
(Robert?) Weaver, who was the first secretary of Housing and Urban Development in the Johnson Administration.
I’d be game for a World History thread.
RE: World History Trivia thread, sure I am up for it. Maybe we could get some overseas Dopers involved.
781 Florida
782 Potter Stweart ?
Correct.
Correct.
Both incorrect. Florida was closeish.
Correct, the “Screaming Eagles.” Saratoga Sam, you’re correct about questions 779 and 780.
I’d be up for a World History quiz thread. Same rules? Post a link here when you get it up and running, please.
My answers:
Louisiana. In fact, I’ve been in the New Orleans courtroom in which Plessy v. Ferguson was first argued - the case was about the Crescent City’s segregation of streetcars, IIRC.
The newly-appointed Earl Warren, Chief Justice of the United States, wrote the unanimous opinion for the Court in Brown v. Board.
Some new questions…
Twice in U.S. history, three men have served as President of the United States (not Acting President, mind you) in the same calendar year.
786. In what year did this first happen?
787. In what year did it next happen?
788. Who were the three men the first time?
789. Who were the three men the second time?
790. Who was the most recent President not sworn in by the Chief Justice?
Correct (and bonus points for having the background semi-correct: it was a railroad car, and operating outside the city).
Correct.
Who were the three men the second time?
1881: Hayes, Garfield & Arthur
Who was the most recent President not sworn in by the Chief Justice?
LBJ: he was sworn in on the plane bound for Washington DC; by a female federal judge whose name escapes me
