THOUGHT FOR THE WEAK!!!

“Study as if you were going to live forever; live as if you were going to die tomorrow.”  Maria Mitchell


WHO IS MARIA MITCHELL?

She was born on August 1, 1818, and is the first female professional astronomer in the United States.  Born in Nantucket, Massachusetts, she pursued her interest in astronomy with encouragement from her parents and the use of her father’s telescope.  In October 1847, she discovered a comet, which became known as “Miss Mitchell’s Comet.”  The next year, the pioneering stargazer became the first woman admitted to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.  She went on to become a professor of astronomy at Vassar College.


THE JEEP!!!

On August 1, 2041, the first Jeep, the Army’s little truck that could do anything, was produced.  The American Bantam Car Company developed the working prototype in just 49 days.  General Dwight D. Eisenhower said that the Allies could not have won World War II without it.  Because Bantam couldn’t meet the army’s production demands, other companies, including Ford, also started producing Jeeps.

Now here’s the Question???  How did the Jeep get its name???

Question of the Weak???

This bawdy American actress of stage and screen said, “Between two evils, I always pick the one I’ve never tried before.”  Who is she???
