that story you posted this morning 4 and 20 blackbirds is very dark and grim and angry. what is going on?

Oooh my gosh :embarrest:

It is too late for me to edit -- but I did NOT mean for it to be 'dark, grim, or angry'.

Just the opposite and I'm so sorry it came across in a bad way.


Ummmm -- in reflecting on the question about 'crows on a fence' and 1 (just 1 bird -- mind you) gets 'shot down' .

So I tried to think of a way that might bring some deeper and beautiful meaning to the stoy. That's all I promise.

The 4 and 20 'blackbirds' was a random Nursery Rhyme

The one who 'killed the crow' was devastated - so tried to make it beautiful. Tried to make others feel better -- as they pictured her singing like a Lamb.

But she died -- and that is how the 'Story started'

So I honestly tried to come up with something -- that appeared 'traggic' but maybe ended for the best.

Anyway - was just being goofy -- and perhaps 'insanely entertaining' but did not mean to come across so dark, gloomy, ...:embarrest:

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

 

[WorkFE]

Rescue the ones not onboard.

 

[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?

 

[FlippedOutFERS]

The married people need rescuing?

 

[72Zorad]

Indeed....the board is yours!

 

[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]

Too easy

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

 

[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]

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

Thanks,

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?

 

[burrocrat]

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

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

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

[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]

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

Which convenience food did Joel Cheek develop?

Maggie

 

[burrocrat]

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.

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

 

[Steel_Magnolia]

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.
