  • Trinity Day

    a.k.a. the day we entered the nuclear age.

    On 16 july 1945, at 05:29:45 a.m. mst., in the white sands proving ground [NM, USA] the first atomic explosion was detonated; code name: Trinity

    Trinity was a test of an implosion-design plutonium bomb; the same basic design of the bomb that was dropped 24 days later on Nagasaki [the second nuclear bomb dropped on japan].

    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.

    Friday the 13th Trivia

    It's Philip V, (1292-1322) King of France to your right.

  • This is interesting.

    The fear of Friday the 13th is called "paraskavedekatriaphobia" [whew], a word derived from the concatenation of the Greek words Paraskeví (meaning Friday), and dekatreis (meaning thirteen), attached to phobía (meaning fear).

    This is a specialized form of triskaidekaphobia, a simple phobia (fear) of the number thirteen, and is also known as friggatriskaidekaphobia.

    There are many theories of why the occurrence of the date of the thirteenth coupled with the day, Friday, is considered unlucky, but my favorite explanation is due to this event: King Philip V (King of France), was threatened by the power that the order of the Knights Templar had gained and was eager to acquire their wealth, so King Philip secretly ordered the mass arrest of all the Knights Templar in France on Friday, October 13, 1307.

    The mass arrest resulted in the mass execution of most members of the order although it is believed some escaped and went underground for the rest of their days. King Philip’s actions resulted in the demise of the Order of the Knights Templar for all time.

    happy friday to you all! Shall we all raise a glass in honor of the demise of french tyrants?

    A Glowing Review

    Thanks to Ralph from the Unmutual.Blogspot post

    http://the-unmutual.blogspot.com/2008/12/podcast-review-mostly-trivial.html

  • Trivia should be fun -- and not many people make it as much fun as Johnee Bee, host of the "Mostly Trivial" podcast. The show is a nice balance of frantic silliness and straight-forward common sense.

    The calm, even-voiced Johnee Bee hosts the quiz. He asks the questions, provides the answers and gives additional information about the subject. Introducing the show is Mr. Category Guy, whose deep, gravelly electronically altered tones don't quite disguise the fact that he's also Johnee Bee. And the same is true of Johnee's able assistant, Robot Boy, who speaks in a higher and more artificial-sounding voice.

    The trivia's interesting enough; it's usually about things that a reasonably well-rounded person might know. But it's the production values that really make this podcast.

    I don't know who Johnee Bee is, but he has to have a background in major market radio. His characters are deftly drawn, and with a few simple sound effects, he can paint an audio picture of Mr. Category Guy having one too many in his sound booth, or Robot Boy extending his hydraulic arm to give Johnee Bee the list of questions. Although all three voices are done by the same person, the conversations flow naturally, and the comic timing is impeccable -- these are mad editing skills at work!

    And the podcast is peppered with all kinds of crazy and non-sequitur quotes and sound effects. Snippets from classic films, TV shows, and cartoons pepper the podcast, providing a counterpoint -- and sometimes humorous commentary -- to Johnee Bee's simple, straightforward delivery.

    The choice of music is also brilliant. Johnee Bee uses the strange musical stylings of Coconut Monkeyrocket, which provide a Carl Stalling-like soundtrack to the proceedings (if Stalling was more like Spike Jones, that is).

    I thoroughly enjoy this little six to eight-minute podcast, and only wish it came out more often. But I can hear the amount of production work Johnee Bee puts into each episode, and I know that probably won't happen without a bigger payday.

    My suggestion? Syndicate it. One of the reasons I'm moving away from radio is the dull, uninspired "morning trivia" segments on some of my local stations. If "Mostly Trivial" was available as a segment radio stations could just drop in, then I think the show would be a much bigger hit than it is, and Johnee Bee might become as famous as Dan Orkin's "Chickenman" -- and for much the same reason.

    - Ralph
