Questions of the
Weak!!!
1.
What odd
number becomes even when beheaded???
Answer: Seven – behead the “S” and you’re left with “even”!
2.
Where did the
name “Tuxedo” originate from???
Answer: In 1889, a well-dressed man
named Griswold Lorillard wore a black dinner jacket with no tails to a country
club in Tuxedo Park, New York. Admirers
of the jacket asked their tailors to make copies of the
“jackets
worn in Tuxedo”, giving rise to the tuxedo name.
3.

Can You Tell Me …….?
In 1943 and on one day between March 1st
and May 31st two individuals (world famous) met and decided that,
within 15 months, something was going to happen on planet Earth!
Can you tell me the names of these 2 individuals and
what happened? Good Luck!!!
I was going to answer both of these questions in
this Newsletter but I am going to wait one more week
before doing so. I asked these questions
to two of our league players and both had not read the May 25th
Newsletter. I wonder how many more have
not read it.
If you think you know please send me an email. I’ll give you credit if you do. I don’t believe anyone will get both answers correct. I do believe that, in 1943, we were involved
in a World War!
Answer: The
two individuals are British Prime Minister Winston Churchill and POTUS Franklin
D. Roosevelt met at the White House and set a date for what would become
D-Day. This was on May 19, 1943. They previously met on May 12, 1943 and discussed other matters relating to the war. It was on December 7, 1943, that President
Roosevelt sent a handwritten message to Marshall Stalin of Russia telling him
that General Eisenhower would command Operation Overlord which began with
D-Day.
Can You Tell Me …….?
June 6, 1944, was not the initial date planned for D-Day. What day was the initial planned date? Why was it moved? And, the day before the invasion took place
one of Eisenhower’s generals advised him not to go through with the
invasion. Who was this general and why
did he make this request? I look forward
to hearing from Cecil Begley and Erich Kientz on these questions!
True or False???
1.
A surgeon in
England branded patients’ livers with his initials!
Answer: True. The doctor has been barred from practicing
medicine.
2.
A competitive sun-tanner’s baby was born with tan lines!
Answer: False.
3.
A man shot a hole in one on the same hole four days
in a row!
Answer: False.
4.
Drones carrying sausages were used to save a stranded
dog!
Answer: True. The dog was trapped on mud flats in England and
was in danger of drowning as the tide rose.
5.
Small fish rained from the sky in Texarkana, Texas.
Answer in next week’s Newsletter.
6.
In an unrelated story, a goldfish learned to drive a
vehicle.
Answer in next week’s Newsletter.
Did You Know!!!
5.2% of World Trade comes through Hong Kong!
The largest cave in the world is in Vietnam. It is so big that it has its own River,
Jungle and Climate!
