[ar...] Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 Wasn't it a monolith? Yeh I got one in my backyard, It landed here last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Yo...] Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 Correct! The first design for the Monolith was a tetrahedral pyramid, as described in the short story "The Sentinel". A London firm was approached to provide a plexiglass pyramid, but due to construction constraints they recommended a flat slab shape. I personally prefer the slab. It looks like a portal. http://idyllopuspress.com/idyllopus/film/images/2001/2001_592.jpg Maybe you've been chosen to become the "Star Child", Arizona! lol width=477 height=755http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-YA3kwLh3Aqw/UQCKyHNjxCI/AAAAAAAA_NI/DplVIOEtQXw/s1600/2001+space+odyssey+poster.jpg[/img] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[ar...] Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 I think your right, Shook, that looks almost like me except I have a longer nose and longer fingers! Okay now I get to do a question; why did the polio vaccine gurus, Salk and Sabin have a falling out? [circa 1953] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Yo...] Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 I'm intrigued! Can you give a clue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[ar...] Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 Salk went behind Sabin's back and gave the vaccine formula to the pharmaceutical company. Why wasn't Sabin ready? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[ar...] Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 They had the injectable vaccine perfected but Sabin wanted more time to develop his oral vaccine version and Salk didn't think they should wait any longer. It didn't matter much anyway for my mother who died from polio before the first one came out anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Yo...] Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 I'm sorry it was too late for your mother, Arizona. Salk was right, of course. There was no good reason to sit on a vaccine that was desperately needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Yo...] Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 Here's some advertising trivia... http://www.mrbreakfast.com/ucp/222_65_ucp.jpg Lucky the Leprechaun, also known as Sir Charms, is innocently looking at his delicious cereal, right? Yes and no. Cereal mascots are often drawn with a downward gaze, to make eye contact from the shelf with little ones, and hopefully bewitch them into asking their parents to buy their cereal. http://www.milenerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/box-cereal-lucky-charms-1.jpg The tactic is far less subtle on this modern box, with Lucky's hypnotic and somewhat terrifying gaze commanding kids to take him home.

[Yo...] Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 One day, Belgian comic artist Pierre Culliford was having a meal with a colleague and friend. Having momentarily forgotten the word "salt", he asked him to pass the "schtroumpf". His friend jokingly replied, "Here's the schtroumpf—when you are done schtroumpfing, schtroumpf it back..." and the two spent the rest of that weekend speaking in "schtroumpf language". A "schtroumpf" became known in English as what? This shouldn't be too hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Yo...] Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 Answer: Pierre Culliford's pen name was Peyo, creator of the Smurfs. "Smurf" is the original Dutch translation of "schtroumpf", and the name stuck. They first appeared on the printed page in 1958. http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/smurfs/images/2/2f/1958_Smurf.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20110921230507 If Culliford had just asked for the "salt", the world would be less smurfy...

[Yo...] Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 In 1934, Wheaties began including pictures of athletes on its boxes to coincide with its slogan, "The Breakfast of Champions". Who was the first? Hint: baseball http://www.totalprosports.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/mary-lou-retton-on-wheaties-box-female-sports-firsts.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Yo...] Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 Answer: Lou Gehrig http://topbet.eu/news/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/9-Lou-Gehrig-Wheaties-1934.jpg Athletes were depicted on the back or side of the box until 1958. Pole vaulter Bob Richards was the first to grace the front, and was also the first Wheaties spokesman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[Yo...] Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 Answer: KFC (Kentucky Fried Chicken). The company's Twitter account follows 11 "Herbs" and "Spices", in humorous reference to its famous secret recipe. Which, since 2016, appears to no longer be a secret. http://wpmedia.calgaryherald.com/2016/08/recipe_graphic.jpg?quality=55&strip=all KFC maintains that it's not the actual recipe, which it says is kept in a vault under heavy guard.
