  • Myth Trivia

    Myth, Hallucination, or History?

  • Medusa, one of the three Gorgons, daughter of Phorcys and Ceto. She was the only one of the Gorgons who was subject to mortality. She is celebrated for her personal charms and the beauty of her locks. Medusa and her sisters came into the world with snakes on their heads, instead of hair, with yellow wings and brazen hands. Their bodies were also covered with impenetrable scales, and their very looks had the power of killing or turning to stones..

  • Perseus cut off her head, and the blood that dropped from the wound produced the innumerable serpents that infest Africa. The head still retained the same petrifying power as before, as it was fatally known in the court of Cepheus

    Scotland Trivia

    Time for a Wee Dram!

  • The recorded history of Scotland begins in the 1st century AD, when the Romans invaded Britain. The Romans added southern Britain to their empire as the province Britannia. They were unable, however, to subdue the fierce tribes in the north. To keep these tribes from invading Britannia, Emperor Hadrian had a massive wall built across the island from sea to sea.

    The Romans called the land north of the wall Caledonia, and they called the people Picts--from the Latin piclus, meaning "painted"--because they painted their bodies. How cool is that?

    Classical Music Trivia

    Things you never knew about Joseph Haydn (1732-1809)

  • Born to a wheelwright (and occasional harpist) Mathias Haydn, the only artifact he retained all his life was a wheelmaker's hammer used by his father. He kept this in a specially made ornate box.

  • Haydn's nickname as a child was "Sepperl". Although his full name was Franz Joseph Haydn, he didn't use the name Franz, which is therefore omitted in most texts nowadays. He also never spelled his name Josef.

  • Haydn was a good friend of Mozart, in whose house the two musicians used to play in string quartets

    The infamous 'Black Sox' scandal was encapsulated in this immortal quote. 'Shoeless Joe' Jackson was emerging from a courthouse on charges that he and his Chicago White Sox team-mates conspired to fix the results of the 1919 World Series for a gambling syndicate. A young fan cut to the soul of sporting morality with his heartfelt question.

    Sports Trivia.

    Scandals anyone?

  • Pete Rose "Betting on Baseball" scandal

    One of the worst sports scandal is Pete Rose's banishment from baseball. The 1919 Black Sox scandal ultimately did more harm to the game, but Rose's case was much more tragic. Here you have the manager for the Cincinnati Reds, the sport's all-time leader in base hits, and he gets thrown out of the game for illegally betting on baseball.

    Pete Rose was a Hall-of-Fame player, but a dubious manager. He was a first ballot Hall of Famer, and he threw it away because he had zero self-control. And make no mistake about it, Pete Rose bet on baseball, he bet on the Reds, and he knew the consequences should he be caught. A manager who bets on his own team sacrifices the very integrity of the game, and Rose should never be allowed to manage or have a job in baseball again.

    He should, however, be recognized in the Hall of Fame for his accomplishments as a player, while noting his lifetime banishment for betting on baseball. To this day, ESPN has never covered a bigger story.

    Last Post Answers: C. Goalie Mask.

    During a games against the New York Rangers, in November 1959 Plante got injured by a puck. After leaving the game, he was patched up but refused to return to the game without his facial mask. He created this mask and had been wearing it during practices since 1956. The idea of a facial covering was not a new idea, Clint Benedict wore a mask/nose guard when he had a broken nose during the 1920's, but after his nosed healed he never wore it again. In co-operation with Fibreglass Canada, they created the first goalie's mask. Plante was also the first person to consistently wear the mask during games. Today every goalie in the NHL is required to wear a goalie's mask. Plante was inducted in the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1978 and the Quebec Sports Pantheon in 1994

    Patent Trivia.

    Are you Inventive?

  • "The patent system added the fuel of interest to the fire of genius." Abraham Lincoln

    The fee to file a patent application is $385 for an independent inventor. The total cost to obtain a patent, including issuance fees and attorney fees, is approximately, $4,000 to $5,000.Its expensive to be inventive!

    How did a mistake lead to the creation of America's favorite variety of cookie? In 1930, Ruth Wakefield was mixing a batch of cookies for her roadside inn guests when she discovered she was out of baker's chocolate. She substituted broken pieces of semi-sweet chocolate, expecting it to melt and absorb into the dough to create chocolate cookies. But the chocolate didn't absorb into the dough. When she removed the pan from the oven, Wakefield realized she had accidentally invented chocolate chip cookies. They were named "Tollhouse" after Wakefield's inn, and they remain the most popular variety of cookie in America. My Favorite cookie as well!

    April Fools Trivia

    Have Fun

  • Heres an Idea.

    Do the Splits Find a scrap of cloth. Place a dollar on the floor and stay nearby. When the victim comes by and bends down to pick up the dollar, rip the cloth loudly. Most people will reach back to see if they ripped their pants. One of the original classic April Fool's pranks of all time!

    April Fools' Day or All Fools' Day, although not a holiday in its own right, is a notable day celebrated in many countries on April 1. The day is marked by the commission of hoaxes and other practical jokes of varying sophistication on friends, family members, enemies, and neighbors, or sending them on fool's errand, the aim of which is to embarrass the gullible. Traditionally, in some countries, the jokes only last until noon: like UK, Australia, New Zealand and Canada, someone who plays a trick after noon is called an "April Fool". Elsewhere, such as in Ireland, France, and the USA, the jokes last all day.

    Impeachment Trivia.

    Out you go.

  • The White House

    Back when George W. Bush was president, if he was removed from office for any reason, medical being another possibility, Cheney would nominate someone to be the Veep. Maybe his neighbor & pal Donald Rumsfeld. Now there's something to lose sleep over. Only if something happened to both No.43 & the Veep (say, a really bad hunting accident) would Pelosi become President. Just in case you were worrying. Read about Nixon, Agnew, and Ford to see a relevant example, in case you're too young to remember it. Something to ponder over.
