Friday Fives

[MoBookworm1957]

Sorry, I never thought of Herculaneum as a secret. It is pretty widely known that it was buried from the same eruption as Pompeii. I believe I got all the others right.

O.K. Mo. Who did you pass the torch to?

I passed it to Weedygarden last Friday evening.

Nobody answered my extra credit question I'm not sure where that is on the 1-5 scale, but I always say my head is full of useless information like this so don't ask me anything important. There's not enough room for all of it

That's not military history, it's mad scientist crap. The same when Mengele was not military history, just an insane doctor conducting insane experiments.

History question: what did they call dust bunnies in the Victorian era?

History question: what did they call dust bunnies in the Victorian era?

I googled the Victorian era, just be sure I had the correct clue… I did.
And my creative answer relative to the place and time period is: Peasant Pets.

Since this thread is about getting to know others, to some extent. I mean besides the entertainment factor…. I’ll confess that being nice is in my nature. But then so is being a smartass. And yes I know - actions speak louder than words. I’m cynical to joke, not to put a person down. Some people put others down in effect to make them look superior. I can’t, or won’t do that.
My story.

Yep - isn't that awful? I also know when zippers were invented

If the question arises… I’ll rank Pearl’s google skills to be a 10

It was also alot nicer than what I read too.

Nah!
Just point blank,blunt, and honest.
This way it cuts down on bull crap.
And trust me there is a lot of bull crap out there.

Medical procedure had me loopy last week and see the answers have been given, but why not add my take.

Inquiring minds want to know:
1. Who was Vesuivus Secret Victim? - answered, but also trade was disrupted for a long time, so many many victims other than the two towns.
2. Does bees have ears? answered, I’m not sure if any insects have “ears” but all have ways of perceiving sound waves
3. Is there a hole to Hell in the Arctic? My favorite, answer depends on your meaning of hell. in the Bible, the place referenced could be interpreted as a pit outside the gates used for burning garbage. (Thus if interpreted in this manner, then hell is in the Middle East and not in the Artic). Another interpretation is that hell means separation from God. A hole in the artic doesn’t mean separation from God necessarily if one has accepted His sacrifice on their behalf. Coupled with the drilled hole mentioned (great episode on that in Mysteries of the abandoned), hell could be anyplace. Thus, if one is separated from God while near the hole, then yes, a hole to Hell is in the artic.
4. Who drilled the Hole to Hell? Answered
5. What is your favorite color and why? Blue, not sure why
Bonus question?
Why was the Hole to Hell drilled to start with? Answered

Weedy must be working really hard on these questions.

 

[dademoss]

Weedy must be working really hard on these questions.

She only got 3 weeks off.

 

[Weedygarden]

Tomorrow is the day!! Bring it on Weedy!!

I have already had a turn. I have no idea whose turn it is today. It's not mine.

 

[Weedygarden]

I passed it to Weedygarden last Friday evening.

I didn't see this before now, and I have already had a turn. Someone else needs to take a turn.

You did such a good job last time, you need to get crackin' again.

 

[Weedygarden]

She passed it to Weedygarden!!

Again, just seeing this. I've had a turn. Someone else needs a turn.

 

[Weedygarden]

I'm just looking at this thread for the first time in probably a week. I had no idea that I was nominated before now. I will not do this again. Everyone needs to take a turn. I just wrote some questions off the top of my head. If I get nominated again, this thread will die because there are thousands of other people who can have a turn. I asked people when I had my first turn, and several of you turned me down. This totally takes the fun out of this for me.

1. Where were you born?
2. How many siblings do you have? Where are you in the sibling pack, oldest, youngest, middle child?
3. What is the highest education you have achieved?
4. Were you ever in the military? What branch did you serve in? Highest rank?
5. What was your first car?

I guess you have to pick who is next??

I agree. Nice job of coming up with questions!

1. Where were you born?

An army hospital outside Munich Germany. My father was in the Air Force and stationed there.

2. How many siblings do you have? Where are you in the sibling pack, oldest, youngest, middle child?

2, 3 or 57.

I was eldest of four. My brother passed last year so I am down to 2 surviving.

My mother was a foster mother caring for babies that were waiting to be adopted. She had 54 that were every bit as much her babies as those she carried.

3. What is the highest education you have achieved?

Bachelors. Graduated magna cum laude in Engineering physics and minored in digital electronics.

4. Were you ever in the military? What branch did you serve in? Highest rank?

Yes Navy. Second class petty officer. E5.

5. What was your first car?

Still waiting to find out.

I drove company cars after getting out of Navy. When it came time for a pick up my credit was crap so The Princess bought the truck in her name. It was Chevy work truck manual transmision 2 wheel drive. I drove hand me down cars from The Princess when she purchased new.

So...

Never had my name on a vehicle title for a car. My quad and side by side where/are titled in my name.

Nice work @Weedygarden !
