sure there is... but they also put out alumi proclaiming to be a "helluvan engineer" -- you'll probably be hearing that refrain very soon (geez I don't wanna jinx them).

Georgia Tech?

Georgia Tech?

The board is yours, sir.

The board is yours, sir.

My Father In Law, a Ramblin' Wreck alum, would be so proud.:embarrest:

Here's an easy one: Who launched a thousand ships and burned the topless towers of Ilium?

 

[offtrack]

Agamemnon and his Achaeans as told by Homer but Faustus is referring to Helen as "the face Who launched a thousand ships and burned the topless towers of Ilium," as told by Marlowe.

Go ahead and take the board. I was looking for King Menelaus, but you are more correct, since it was Agamemnon who basically assembled the fleet for Menelaus.

You guys are WAY too deep for me......

Time to be cynical... What well known New York wit ended her Resumé with the line ..."You might as well live," ?

Dorothy Parker?

Dorothy Parker?

Correct and your turn. Here's the poem.

Résumé

Razors pain you,
Rivers are damp,
Acids stain you,
And drugs cause cramp.
Guns aren't lawful,
Nooses give,
Gas smells awful.
You might as well live.

Thanks Offtrack, That was a tough one.

How about a sports related question? What is the mascot's name for that other school in Alabama?

Hint: Think space.

War Eagle?

 

[Scout333]

Hello Davehop21, You're close. Right School. Right mascot. Looking for the mascot's name. Think space.

 

[Minnow]

I cheated and asked an Auburn alum... he played DT for the Tigers during the '80s...

Nova ?

 

[Davehop21]

Perhaps Ariel??

 

[Scout333]

Good job Minnow! Nova is the name of the current eagle (mascot) that flies around the stadium for home games! Dave, I believe that Ariel is the name of a former eagle or possibly one that is being trained. War Eagle!! Your board Minnow!

Like I said, I cheated... oh well...

Who was the first U.S. president inaugurated in american-made clothes?

 

[James48843]

Sorry. http://www.georgewashington.si.edu/portrait/dress.html

 

[Minnow]

Actually, it was George Washington.

Although all over the internet you'll find references to Madison as being the first, the truth is Washington chose the clothes he wore in the first inaguration carefully, and for a purpose- cloth made in Hartford, CT, to show suport for the people of CT .

See http://www.georgewashington.si.edu/portrait/dress.html

You couldn't let at least one person guess Madison unsuccessfully? You are the man James.... it's your board.

 

[Minnow]

Sorry.

Don't dare apologize... YOU ARE THE MAN .... can't wait for your question... the servers at work ... oops at home.. are balking in anticipation.
