Louis Armstrong was born exactly 61 years before me.

Aug 4, 1901.

The guitar player from Flock of Seagulls was Aug 4, too.

Next question:

***b-squared*** · 02-06-2008, 11:00 PM

My first guess would be Josephine...or maybe the Pope...

BB

Next Question (and I'll make it music related -----And it was Napoleon who crowned himself Emperor)

IMHO, Les Paul plays the ugliest Les Paul I've ever seen.... What kind of Les Paul does Les Paul Play.

When Babe Ruth broke the all-time single season home run record, who's record was it?

***b-squared*** · 02-07-2008, 02:07 PM

Roger Connor...138 home runs.

(OK...one of my office mates read it over my shoulder--he's a baseball nut)

BB

[edit] Ah, you said single season...Ned Williamson, 29 home runs. (He knew that too; amazing).

siroliver · 02-07-2008, 02:13 PM

name the inventor of the Helicopter

(it's not DaVinici- his was more of a concept)

***b-squared*** · 02-07-2008, 02:18 PM

Sikorsky?

Just a guess.

Had to Google it. Great story, and a great trivia question.

BB

Name this movie from the quote:

"Do you know what the word "Nemesis" means? It's the righteous infliction of retribution manifested by an appropriate agent; in this case, an 'orrible cunt...ME."
