pdogg Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 The Eastern Time Zone has 47% of yanks. knew it had to be either 40 or 50. but except for a few states such as Florida and North Carolina, the Eastern Time Zone isn't growing. the list of most populous US cities has changed radically since i was a kid.

Hefe Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 How did the name Gatorade come about? The members of the football Florida Gators got together & pissed in a bucket & bet that they could get people to drink that crap it if they had good enough advertising... Quote Link to comment
JaiDee Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 The members of the football Florida Gators got together Yesss!! well, at least that part :) The Gators of Florida created it to keep their guys hydrated for their games in that hot, muggy weather. Not so sure if it was from piss however! Quote Link to comment
Lefty Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 Nebraska would be.........incorrect! But good shot Seven I think we all know the top three..... Montana? Quote Link to comment
Lefty Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 How did the name Gatorade come about? Because the Florida Gators football team were the first ones to have it as their drink Quote Link to comment
Lefty Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 Who is the most wretched vile disgusting American citizen? A. Mitch McConnell B. Antonin Scalia C. John Boehner Quote Link to comment
Lefty Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 When Magellan and crew first set foot on the ground in the Philippines it was in which current day province? Quote Link to comment
bumblebee Posted November 2, 2014 Author Share Posted November 2, 2014 When Magellan and crew first set foot on the ground in the Philippines it was in which current day province? Cebu and he is buried there also. Quote Link to comment
JaiDee Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 PD got the Montana one and Hefe got the Gator one, Left-one.......as for the most wretched US citizens, your list should be a lot longer than three! For my own reasons can I add Scott Brown to that list? Quote Link to comment
JaiDee Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 In the War in Afghanistan, more Canadian soldiers have died from {what} than from combat? Quote Link to comment
JaiDee Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Here's another one; The USA gets most of its oil from {THIS} country than from any other one. In fact it's not even close. Quote Link to comment
Torurot Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Canada -"friendly fire" Oil- Venezuela Quote Link to comment
JaiDee Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Nice choices but incorrect on both counts. No one else? Quote Link to comment
pacman Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 I'll give it a shot - suicide & Saudi Arabia. Quote Link to comment
rxpharm Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 In the War in Afghanistan, more Canadian soldiers have died from {what} than from combat? Suicide from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. The 2nd question - the US gets more oil from itself (if we're talking about now). Sorry, Pacman beat to me question one, but we have different answers for question 2. Quote Link to comment
JaiDee Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Suicide is sadly correct, Paccers and RX. The USA gets the vast majority of its oil from a place near and dear to your and Sam's heart. Who would've thunk it?? And just wait until all those oil reserves under the Arctic circle are tapped.....question is, will we be paying Canada, Denmark or Russia? Quote Link to comment
Lefty Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Cebu and he is buried there also. No. He was killed on Mactan Island which is part of current day Cebu province, that is true, but that is not where he and his men first landed in the archipelago. Quote Link to comment

For my own reasons can I add Scott Brown to that list? Sure. I just think those other 3 have a more negative effect on more people. I'd add the scum known as Ted Cruz and Paul Ryan to the list as well. Quote Link to comment
JaiDee Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Canada Yes, it's the long green line in the graph I posted. Quote Link to comment
Lefty Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Yes, it's the long green line in the graph I posted. I did not see your graph before I posted. Should I have deleted my response? There is no option here to do that. Quote Link to comment

JaiDee Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 How did the word 'Marathon' come about? Quote Link to comment
Patrick Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 The Greek messenger took news of the Battle of Marathon to Athens, the distance he ran was 42.? km the distance of the modern marathon race. 1 Quote Link to comment
pacman Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 I think we all know the story of Pheidippides who ran from Marathon to Athens but that isn't the question. JaiDee wants to know how did the word 'Marathon' come about. And I don't think the ancient Greeks recorded how they arrived at the names of their cities & towns. Or have I got it wrong again?
