Trivia

[knuckledragger]

Alright y'all, since name that tune was being played on the "Knuckledragger" thread, I thought I'd start a thread about trivia. It can be about ANYTHING. I would like for one question to be asked at a time and be given enough time to have a response to it. Someone can go ahead and post the FIRST question, and when it is answered, we will move on to another question. The first one who answers the question correctly, gets to post the next question. ;D

OK comrades, knock the dust off your ol' noggins. I will ask the first question.

???What standardized exam was adapted from Army Alpha, the IQ test administered to recruits during World War I ?

[Logan]

Wild guess, I'll say the ASVAB. Army standardized vocational aptittude battery.

[knuckledragger]

Yup, I agree with Druid, A.S.V.A.B. Armed Services Vocational Apptitude Battery. Thats what I know it as. ;D

I don't mean to skip but, since you are on wwII let me ask this one. What company was decomitioned after WWII. It was a very empressive company.

[wizardborn1]

Gambler was that Easy Company. 82nd airborne???

Do I give the correct answer to my first trivia question since ASVAB is incorrect.

[knuckledragger]

No Wizard, question still stands until someone answers correctly

How about the SAT??

[gambler3365]

you are half right Wiz, it was easy company, but they where under the 501st. I'll give it to you because you named the company

Before Laurel and Hardy of Hollywood came Plump and Runt. Oliver Hardy made 34 movies as Plump, before he went to Hollywood to team with Stan Laurel. In what Florida city were they flimed?

[there6768]

Sorry Knuckle, I posted one before I read your rules. You may take a karma.

[wizardborn1]

Freed! You are correct! SAT. Congratulations. You now have the floor. /bows graciously/ One Karma for you.

[wizardborn1]

Thanks Gambler but as Knucks rules go Freed now has the next question. I thought it might be the 501st.. Damn, should of went with my gut instinct. I will have to ponder your Laurel and Hardy Boy mystery.

Thank you Wizard!!

He was a famed U.S. Geological Survey astronomer who wanted to be an astronaut but was rejected because of a medical problem. He trained the Apollo astronauts about craters, but never made it into space. His ashes were placed on board a spacecraft before it was launched on January 6, 1998. NASA crashed the probe into a crater on the moon in an attempt to learn if there is water on the moon.

Who is he?

Freed, astronomer Eugene Shoemaker.
