coffee? you kidding? nobody invented coffee, it is a gift from the gods.

 

[PessOptimist]

So drink the coffee all ready. I you feel the need to buy it at Starbucks at a 500% markup, do so. If you feel the need to pose, buy a starbucks cup and make it at home and walk around with it. Some will think what a "today" person you are, some will laugh about your ignorance.

Does this particular convenience food have any nutritional value of any kind?

Good question. Depends on which study you believe. Because I have to have this, almost as much as chocolate, I choose to believe that you can get flavonoids from it.

well it has to be cheetos because i'm sure it ain't dr. pepper and those are the only two true convenience foods i know of. 'cept for hot n spicy pork rinds, but they sometimes don't work out so convenient later.

Great answer, but wrong. Here's a hint. Some of us who don't have certain electric appliances don't consider it a convenience food, we consider it a necessity of life.

Thanks, Scout. Okay, let's see if you can answer this one without googling it.

Which convenience food did Joel Cheek develop?

[Scout333]

You are correct ma'am! Note the operative word in the question is "elected". Theodore Roosevelt was the youngest to serve as he became President after McKinley was assasinated. He was 42.

The board is yours.

 

[Steel_Magnolia]

OK, Here's another Presidential history question just to get the ball rolling.

Who was the youngest person elected President of the U.S. and how old were they?

John F. Kennedy at 43, and I'm old enough that I didn't have to Google it.

a) Barry Soetoro, and b) nobody knows because it can't be confirmed due the lack of availability of official documents.

:laugh: Good one :laugh:

I offer the board to anyone who wants it. I don't have another riddle but couldn't resist answering one I knew.

Thanks,

 

[FlippedOutFERS]

Yes, too easy for you. I, however, have about one and a half functioning brain cells today. :laugh:

So the board is yours once more.

 

[72Zorad]

Too easy

White...house is on the north pole so it is a polar bear.

 

[FlippedOutFERS]

Thanks!

Let's see if I can remember this one well enough to ask it ....

I built a house with a window on each wall and each window has a southern exposure. Through one window I see a bear walk past. What color is the bear?

 

[72Zorad]

Indeed....the board is yours!

 

[FlippedOutFERS]

The married people need rescuing?

 

[72Zorad]

Sorry, let me rephrase is.

A ship sinks and every single person has drowned. When the rescuers arrive they discover many people needing rescued. How is this possible?
