WHAT'S YOUR BEST TRIVIA QUESTION?

[Sosan]

Dixon, not only did I know John Hanson was the first president, I'll tell you why I know. I once worked for a corporation where a portrait of John Hanson was displayed in the CEO's office and the late founder used to ask job applicants "Who was the first president?" and such or so the stories go. You have to give people a chance before you answer your own question.

So here is one for you, Dixon ... What great law was the U.S. Constitution in part based upon?

Lil' Debbie, Sacajawea, more commonly spelled Sakajawea, was a Shoshone woman who guided the Lewis and Clark expeditions in the early 1800's.

Here is one for you Lil' Debbie ... Who was Karonienhawi? (Hint: the answer has special relevance for women's rights, particularly gaining the right to vote)

Here is one especially for the British in the crowd ... Who was Sir William Johnson's wife? (Hint: the answer has important historical significance, especially for Native Americans)

Shintani, I didn't know the answer to your question. I wish you would have asked a question about Intercourse. I see you are from there or at least interested in the subject. I have noticed the signs for Intercourse on the interstate. Is it true there is a sign "No Virgins Allowed" as you enter the town limits?

One more. I think I read a post where one fellow said he was Cherokee. The character "Blue Duck" in Larry McMurtry's book "Lonesome Dove" which was later made into the epic staring Tommy Lee Jones and Robert Duvall, was based in part upon the Cherokee "Blue Duck" also known as Shacongah Kawwannu. What famous woman was Blue Duck's lover?

Hmmmmmm, don't know the answer to any of these questions....so let me ask my own...

Do snakes have legs???

 

[Shintani]

OK, lets see...no sign about no Virgins allowed in Intercourse, but then again, Virginville is right up the road.

Alyssa...lets see...I know that I'm spelling this wrong...


Dewag Selabut?

 

[Ravenloft]

Hullo_Nurse... Yes! They do! Don't they? Er... No, I guess not... Am I To be cast into the gorge of eternal peril now?

Shintani darling, close but no cigar

leave my ass out of the conversation... it already gets enough attention

if you kow what I mean...

 

[Sosan]

Shintani, I think you are just teasing about Virginville. Now no one will believe you about Intercourse.

I am not that kind of Indian but I will take a stab at "dewag selabut." I believe it to be a Hindu/Sanskrit expression from "Ars Amoris Indica" (The Hindu Art of Love), "Kama-Shastra" or "Ananga-Ranga."

"Dewag selabut" is not the correct spelling I do not believe, but phonetically, it pertains to anal intercourse doggy style.

Here is one for you Lil' Debbie ... Who was Karonienhawi? (Hint: the answer has special
relevance for women's rights, particularly gaining the right to vote)

Since you stumped Lil Debbie, I'll take a crack at that one... Karonienhawi's real name was Matilda Gage. She was a white suffragette who was adopted into the Mohawk nation and given that name. It's a sad story, because at the time Native American women in their society had more power and were given more respect than white women were in their own. The women basically ran the Indian tribes, but the Europeans refused to deal with any of the female tribal members, talking only with the men. Many of the male Native Americans went on to support the cause of women's rights - after living in a predominantly female culture, it offended them to see how women were treated in the supposedly "civilized" white world.

See? College was good for something...

 

[Ravenloft]

Not so much trivia for you here... More like fun word games...

here goes:

Sea Kelp.

that ones an easy one...

Now, the next two you have to switch the first letters around.

Fun Bucket

and

Heart Faliure.

Thanks Beebeeblue....I've been wondering about this one for two days now

 

[Beebeeblue]

Is it me, or is this the LONGEST thread on here????? Now thats trivia!

 

[Sosan]

Laurel is quite right about Matilda Gage. She published many articles in the NY papers and elswhere regarding the Iroquois (of which the Mohawk were one of the Six Nations) and the equal rights given to their women.

Maltida Gage, Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony published "The History of Woman Suffrage" among other books and articles. They also were very active in anti-slavery and rights for blacks. The activities of these three and others led to women gaining the right to vote in 1920.

This may be trivia, but think about it ladies. If it were not for women like this not only wouldn't you be voting, you wouldn't be openly expressing your sexuality in forums like Literotica or in your personal relationships.

Would it be M.A.S.H., Lil' Debbie?

 

[Lil' Debbie]

Ravenloft, no that's not it, but it's a good guess.

[Hullo_nurse]

Ravenloft...how did you get to be "Bossy"?


And for those wondering about snakes and legs, the answer is some do & some don't!! If they do they are internal. I learned it on the discovery channel

 

[Rosebud]

Ravenloft and Havocman are both bossy because they are moderating the fantasy role-playing thing.

Dry ice doesn't liquify, it goes straight from solid to gas. I learned a term for that in fucking 9th grade science class, but I can't seem to find that notebook.
