Ummmm I'm just remembering this from a "Red Dwarf" episode (for any other Brits, Scott... ) but wasnt it some kinda Texas book depository?

the assasin was Lee Harvey Oswald (supposedly ) and the guy who in turn killed him I think was called Jack Ruby (?!)

[Bri-Guy]

Correct. . .it was the Texas Schoolbook Depository

In the red dwarf episode it was a curry factory, wasn't it?

Although a curry factory would have been pretty fitting if Lister had anything to do with it.

Okay here's my trivia Q... who played Dave Lister, Arnold. J. Rimmer, Holly and Kryton in Red Dwarf?

[Plus1_chick03]

Dave Lister............ Arnold. J. Rimmer,

Craig Charles.......... Third Technician David Lister
Robert Llewellyn .... Kryten
Norman Lovett..... Holly (1988-1989, 1997-)
Hattie Hayridge..... Holly (1989-1993)

To get back to you Zimick.

2. I have no idea, but I would like to know... if you could post the answer, that would be cool

It is called an Orographic storm.:kcool:

[Zimick]

ok... here are a few more...about money...


1. True or false: If the US Treasury wanted to, they could place a picture George W. Bush on one of our dollar bills...(why or why not?)

2. How many states are listed on the back of the five dollar bill (and for the real adventurous: what states are they?)

3. Probably one of my hardest trivia questions: On the old design of the five dollar bill, the photograph of Lincoln was shot on what date?

4. This is a pretty easy one: What do the letters "P" and "D" stand for on our (US) coined currency?





Well, there ya go... I'm out for now... post your answers if you have them...

Press on...

[perhaps]

Ah, the whole Kennedy deal
Sparks an interest in me, it does

Edit: JFK, also the youngest President to take office....old question, but I don't think anyone answered it, although its an obvious answer lol

Hey, my name's Mark, and I posted the radio stations deal.

Well, now about the Kennedy thing. The government WANTS you to believe Oswald was in the Texas Schoolbook Depository, but the real assassin was behind a fence on the grassy knoll. Hey, what STREET was Kennedy on when he was shot?

Actually, Teddy Roosevelt was the youngest president, at 42. Kennedy was 43, but he was the youngest ELECTED president, TR was sworn in after McKinley was shot. Hey, name the four presidents who were assassinated and their killers. Bonus points: where were they killed?

Alright. The radio question. W is for Westinghouse, and K is for RCA. Really. The guy who filled out the original form or whatever had a broken typewriter key, and his R looked like a K. Neat-o.

P stand for Philidelphia, D is for Denver. There also used to be an S. What was that for?

Alright, my brain hurts. Peace out.

I livein Dallas so I should know this. I think the street is Houston.


S stands for the other Federal Mint in San Francisco.
