    I don't remember his first name, but his last name was "Crapper". [​IMG]

    Who invented the sandwich?

    I'd be interested in hearing the answer to this. I remember hearing this trivia question a long time ago and we never could decide on an answer. Some say it was the Earl of Sandwich, John Montagu, who created the sandwich (had to look that name up), but I would think he just named it the sandwich. I'm sure some caveman made a reptilian burger or something long ago. [​IMG]

    Is it bridge? I don't even know how to play or how many players are needed to play bridge, but I'll go ahead and guess bridge. [​IMG]

    Correct! Was that a quess, or did you look it up?

    next question:

    What is the largest organ of the human body?

    YES! I knew those two semesters of Anatomy would pay off! The largest organ in the human body is the skin

    Of course, it's not the largest organ on MY body...

    The skin is correct, however, you are disqualified for going for the easy joke. [​IMG] [​IMG]

    Well I guess if he's disqualified I can just buzz in and say "the skin" - or is that not how things work around here.

    Smeg: did I get the Aussie football question right?

    DoD: I think you answered the Sandwich question - the Earl was a card player and he was SO compulsive about his gambling that he wouldn't take time out to sit at the table and eat, so he told his servants to bring him his meat between 2 slices of bread - it sort of caught on - voila a Sandwich!

    Picasso's famous painting for the 1937 Worldsfair in Paris was called Guernica. Named after the Basque town that was pummeled for 3 hours by German bombers and fighters for no reason other than to test out how successful Hitler's new toys were. Franco OK'd the bombing. 1,000s were slaughtered as were cattle and horses, as the town was pretty much burned to the ground.

    black and white, 27' wide mural, this is an must see painting in person. Considered modern art's most powerful antiwar statement.

    OK...back to trivia worth remembering.


    "What famous Queen was too beautiful for her King that he couldn't get it up for nearly the first decade of their marriage, and eventually agreed to use some 'help'."

    Who invented the toilet...

    Sir John Harrington, godson to Queen Elizabeth. He considered it "necessary" for his godmother.

    good one...I like it.
