Did you know...
Not Surprisingly, the 2010 Lemelson - MIT survey of teens shows that teachers
contribute the most to our society's well-being.
What was surprising was that only 32% of those polled chose teachers;
Doctors were second, with 23%, and scientists rounded out the top three with
19 %.
Politicians garnered only 2 % of the votes.

1. What is pop singer Brandy's last name?
2. how about Wilt Chamberlain's formal first name?
3. how long did Marco Polo's journey to the orient last?
4. what's the structure depicted on the $50 bill?
5. for what classic horror film did actor John Larroquette provide the chilling narration-twice?
6. do you have a clue as to the largest antique ever sold?
7. what Oscar-winning actress is a direct descendant of-and bears the same last name as- one of the signers of the declaration of independence?
8. how fast is hypersonic?
TRUTH OR CRAP ??

Both Mao and Chaing married multiple times, and had many mistresses,
but were never brothers-in-law.

Yea, I'll say.
I had a fleeting guess of London Bridge but not enough to call it an answer.

I was skunked.

Man, oh man. You weren't kidding.

I had to check my wallet to get #4. I didn't have a $50 but worked it out by elimination. I guessed #6 but I knew T or C (I think).

The answer to #7 actually occurred to me but the fact that she is English caused me to disregard it.
