Here's a couple questions.

[HaMeR]

Does anybody want to try this one?? 

I will post the answers later. 

A quiz for people who know everything!  I found out in a hurry that I am not one of those people. These are not trick  questions. They are straight questions with straight answers.
1. Name the  one sport in which neither the spectators nor the participants know the score or  the leader until the contest ends.

2. What famous North American landmark  is constantly moving backward?

3. Of all vegetables, only two can live to  produce on their own for several growing seasons. All other vegetables must be  replanted every year. What are the only two perennial vegetables?

4. What  fruit has its seeds on the outside?

5. In many liquor stores, you can buy  pear brandy, with a real pear inside the bottle. The pear is whole and ripe, and  the bottle is genuine ; it hasn't been cut in any way. How did the pear get  inside the bottle?

6. Only three words in standard English begin with the letters 'dw' and they are all common words. Name two of them.

7. There  are 14 punctuation marks in English grammar. Can you name at least half of  them?

8. Name the only vegetable or fruit that is never sold frozen, canned,processed, cooked, or in any other form except fresh.

9. Name 6 or  more things that you can wear on your feet beginning with the letter  'S.'

Jim

[FinsnFur]

I'm getting a headache

[KySongDog]

I didn't even attempt this one.   

[coyote101]

I'm going with Niagra Falls for number 2

[vvarmitr]

1. Name the  one sport in which neither the spectators nor the participants know the score or  the leader until the contest ends.

2. What famous North American landmark  is constantly moving backward?

3. Of all vegetables, only two can live to  produce on their own for several growing seasons. All other vegetables must be  replanted every year. What are the only two perennial vegetables?

4. What  fruit has its seeds on the outside?

5. In many liquor stores, you can buy  pear brandy, with a real pear inside the bottle. The pear is whole and ripe, and  the bottle is genuine ; it hasn't been cut in any way. How did the pear get  inside the bottle?

6. Only three words in standard English begin with the letters 'dw' and they are all common words. Name two of them.

7. There  are 14 punctuation marks in English grammar. Can you name at least half of  them?

8. Name the only vegetable or fruit that is never sold frozen, canned,processed, cooked, or in any other form except fresh.

9. Name 6 or  more things that you can wear on your feet beginning with the letter  'S.'

#1 Chess
#2 If it is constantly moving in a direction why are you assuming it's backwards? 
     If I was to drive my car in reverse to get were I was going would that be backwards? 
     If I was to travel at the speed of sound in reverse would I hear what people were saying backwards?
     If I were to go backwards right now I would have to agree w/ Pat. 
#3 the other one is asparagus
#4 Strawberry   BTW I had a dream last night about a woman who was picking strawberrys that had grown on a trellis. That would sure beat picking 'em w/ your butt in the air.
#5 Didn't you ever see the movie Honey, I Shrunk the Kids?           
#6 I was thinking Dwayne & Dwight. 
#7 Like you said HaMeR, Just look at your keyboard. 
#8 Lettuce
#9 I'll add stink to the list. 

[HaMeR]

Thanks for participating in this. I hope you all enjoyed. I certainly had fun trying to do it & watching you folks get a workout with it too. I'm glad you all enjoyed it. 

#1-- Frogman scores with boxing.

#2-- Pat scores BIG!! Niagara Falls. (The rim is worn down about two and a half feet  each year because of the millions of gallons of wat e r that rush over it every minute.)

#3-- Frogman,Al, vvarmitr & pitw    Rhubarb & Asparagus

#4-- vvarmitr & pitw got it with Strawberries.

#5-- Frogman & pitw. (The bottles are placed over pear buds  when they are small, and are wired in place on the tree. The bottle is left in  place for the entire growing season. When the pears are ripe, they are snipped  off at the stems.)

#6-- Frogman & pitw got it.    And dwindle was the other word. Plus the Frog gets an attaboy for adding dweeb!!

#7-- Everybody that looked at their keyboard!!   :roflmao: :roflmao: Where was Jimbo on this one??     

#8-- vvarmitr & the Frogman!! Lettuce

#9-- Frogman is good!!    Honorable mention HAS to go to vvarmitr for stink tho!!  :roflmao:

I get something like this every once in a while & I will share them when I do if there are no objections. 

[pitw]

That was fun and my wife ain't as smart as some on here as she said watermelon.  Bring 'em on.

[Frogman]

HaMeR,


Thanks, that was fun.
