Try your hand at these brain-busting trivia questions. Remember, please, that you may not google or use any reference sources for the first 24 hours of this thread.

-1. John Clayton Jr. was the childhood name of what fictional character?
-2. What is the distance between bases on a Little League baseball field?
-3. What was the name of the Japanese destroyer that sank PT-109, commanded by Lt. John F. Kennedy, on August 2, 1943?
-4. Which TV newsman lived with a tribe of headhunters for a month after bailing out of a crippled military plane in the Himalayas during WWII?
-5. Who invented the aerosol valve in 1949?
-6. The name of God is not mentioned in only one book of the Bible. Which one?
-7. In 1960, the citizens of Hot Springs, New Mexico, voted to rename their town in honor of a popular radio show. What is it now called?
-8. What great thinker used the lunar eclipse’s circular shadow of the Earth on the moon as part of his proof that the earth was round?
-9. What do the letters Z, I, and P stand for in “zip code”?
-10. What breakfast food gets its name from the German word for “stirrup”?

Both remaining answers start with an A smile


The moon is actually more useful than the sun since the moon gives us light at night when it's dark. The sun only gives us light during the day when it's already bright out.

Sometimes lost is where you need to be. Just because you don't know your direction doesn't mean you don't have one.

Aristarchus was a brilliant mathematician who first put forward the concept of heliocentrism. But he didn't use the above-mentioned proof. wave
