    Ok, here's the rules. I'll post the question, the first one with the answer wins the point. I'll reply with the right answer to keep anyone from editing their post.

    The first one is kind of tough. I want to test your search engine skills.

    First question in 5 minutes.

    One last thing....I am at work, so if I disappear for a few minutes, that means that something has come up, or my dinosaur of a computer has locked up and I had to reboot.

    And we're off!

    1) Dr. Seuss coined (developed) what word in his 1950 book 'If I Ran the Zoo'?

    If Gerald McGrew ran the zoo, he'd let all the animals go and fill it with more unusual beasts--a ten-footed lion, an Elephant-Cat, a Mulligatawny, a Tufted Mazurka, and others.

    No....it's a word that's recently (last 15 years) become used more.

    Use AltaVista, and search for "If I ran the zoo"

    One of the results will give you the answer

    BINGO!!!!!

    1 for jamcracker

    Although the term's origin is obscure, one theory is that it derives from a children's book by Dr. Suess, If I Ran the Zoo, in which this passage is found:

    And then, just to show them,
    I'll sail to Ka-Troo
    And bring back an it-kutch,
    A preep, and a proo,
    A nerkle, a nerd,
    And a seersucker, too!"
    Dr. Suess's picture of the nerd looks much like the way computer nerds are portrayed today.

    #2

    2) Would you rather a crocodile attack you or an alligator?
