 Just killin' time Trivia It has been suggested that a Trivia thread be started. Since most of the regulars on here have trivial minds, it seems to be an appropriate subject..............
Here are 5 questions to get you started: (feel free to Google your answers, as the subject of this thread suggests, we're just killing time until next season)
Which is the only mammal that can't jump?
What did Joseph Priesley discover in 1774?
Who invented television?
In what language does "obrigado" mean "thank you"?
Who was the first man in space?

Re: Just killin' time Trivia smokeyjoe53 wrote: What did Joseph Priesley discover in 1774? wasn't he on 90210? wait, that was Jason Priestley actually it was oxygen... there's a great book I read this year called The Year of Wonder: How the romantic generation discovered the beauty and terror of Science. It won all sorts of literary awards in 2009 for science writing. If you are so inclined, I highly recommend it.

Re: Just killin' time Trivia smokeyjoe53 wrote: In what language does "obrigado" mean "thank you"? More important... who says 'obrigado' as opposed to 'obrigada' Learned this leasson the hard way when I was on a 3 week assignment to Brazil.... as if you would have trouble distinguising between the sexes in Brazil.
