TRUTH !
Jumbo the Elephant, of Barnum & Baily Circus fame, was killed in a Circus Train accident in 1885. P.T. Barnum had him stuffed and in 1889 donated him to Tufts University, where he became the university mascot.
When fire destroyed the mammoth mascot in 1975, his ashes were put in a peanut butter jar and kept for good luck for the university's sports teams, which are known as the Jumbos.
 
Another good but tough one for Me . I hate to say I didn,t know #1 & I should have .

Got #2 only because of Mancini the only one I,ve ever heard of out of the 3

#7 was easy as thats what My Mom called them growing up , Dad had a different name for them :whistling:

Truth I was pretty sure of but not positive . So I didn,t do so good again . Once again very interesting , Thanks . :clap:
 
I apologize for the tardiness of today's post; came home to a dead mouse- ran to wally world and bought a cheapie - still no mouse - called #2 son ; (the expert) - he had me try plugging into my (usb) camera port, and lo , it wasn't a mouse problem after all...........the mouse port must have decided to retire !

NP , JenKennings . I,m used to dead mouses , the cats leave bits & pieces of them at the back door all the time :yum: .
 
Well guys, I didn't do too good today either.

Got the first three.

Missed #4 by a pound or two.

Missed #5. I got 3 out of the 4 but missed the Deer Hunter. Who can possibly miss the Deer Hunter?. Great movie.

Got #6 - kinda. I guessed real, real close. Does that count? OK, I missed it too.

Missed #7. I didn't know that they had a name.

Got #8.

Didn't have a clue about Truth or Crap. I thought all elephants were called Jumbo.
