AND...for "extra credit"...here's an old standby that Groucho used to use on "You Bet Your Life" when the contestants bombed out and he didn't want them to walk away empty handed....

Who's buried in Grant's Tomb?

(and then as they'd walk backstage you'd hear the sweet refrain of "Hurray for Capt. Spalding"...remember folks?!)

1. 116 years (1337-1453)

2. Panama-hats were invented in Ecuador

4. October-revolution is celebrated in November

6. The Canary Island is named after the seal. Canaria is latin and means "Island of the Seal" (or something to that extent)

7. King George IV was named Albert


Edit: typ-o's

hey !! I pass!

Yeah! VERY GOOD, dahla!!! I LOVE a guy who always out to find the "loophole"!!!

(but you didn't answer Groucho's question yet, dude!!!)

Well, I'll give ya a hint here...it sure AIN'T David Hasselhoff, dude!

******!!

Well Dwight, thanks to google I found the answer! I couldn't have answered that one on my own even if my life depended on it...

Oh! And one more thing here, dahla.....

You OVERLOOKED number-8 up there when you were findin' all those "loopholes" o' yours!

YEP! When Brummie asked, "What color is a purple finch?", you should have said that's it's ACTUALLY more a shade of violet-red! And you know how I know THAT???

It's because The Staff where I live now gave me that 64 piece crayon box with all those pretty colors to occupy my time here at The Home now, and I found that those finches were EXACTLY the color of THAT particular crayon!!!

(BTW...they've been runnin' short of construction paper for me lately in this ward...I may have to sue)
