Useless Trivia - 1st one to answer gets to ask

Okay... hint... he "joked" around and "flew over" at times too.

 

Jack Nicholson?

 

Congrats, you're it!

 

That was a good question. But I definitely needed the good hints.

I'll come back in the morning with a new question.

 

OK, I'm back with a question. Uno, dos, one, two, tres, quatro ...

Who was the only guest vocalist ever to sing on a Led Zeppelin album?

 

ummm...was on Misty Mountain Hop... and since i can just look at album to name her... i will say...ummm...hmmm...where is that damn album at??

ok right album, wrong song, was battle of Evermore now that i think of it. have album...actually CD and cant find credits on it...

i used to know her name too...

 

Can't believe it's 1:30 pm already. Who knows where the time goes? Wish I were on a sandy beach.

 

ohhh Sandy Denny

 

Judy Collins :music:

 

Yes, Sandy Denny (R.I.P.) sang on Led Zeppelin IV's "The Battle of Evermore".

Sandy's best known song was "Who Knows Where the Time Goes" which many people, including Judy Collins and Nina Simone, have covered, and which Sandy herself recorded when she was with Fairport Convention:

It's Dave's turn.

 

The trivia that we learn on this trivia thread!
I was being a smart-arse in 'dropping' Judy Collins. Didn't know the song was written by Sandy Denny!

 

well, ok i have an easy one for anyone up on recent PC threads.

in 1993 the clinton administration directed the big 3 to produce a family sedan capable of getting 80 mpg. in return the CAFE regs would be relaxed. the big 3 complied. so name the 3 prototypes that were created. btw, one part of the program was to build and test the car, so it actually had to work!@!

 

• Dodge ESX3
• Ford Prodigy
• GM Precept

But, I had to google for this one. In googling I found ...

• ... that Bush massively cut the funding for the project.
• Then he invaded Iraq to validate his daddy's quest for cheap oil.
• And here we are. (Fred's House of Pancakes & Politics)

 

So much for the no google rule!

 

I'll just join Malorn over on the far side of the chatroom

 

I have vague memories of the participants of this thread reaching an agreement in which we would give a question at least 24 hours before googling. I could be mistaken. Or insane. You decide!

 

The Google Rule, as amended

I think the google rule was always implied.

But it was Ichabod who first proposed a formal adoption of the google rule:

Then he proposed this amendment:

Both his original proposed rule and amendment were unanimously approved with nods of our heads.

I propose that we reaffirm and restate the rule as follows:

"Resolved: No google or wikipedia (or the like) searches during the first 24 hours after a post!"

All those in favor, nod your heads.

 

:nod: :nod:

 

ok you are right... as i mentioned i have mentioned my MAJOR distaste for how the program was completely discarded after our government spent over a billion dollars in favor of funding hydrogen research... it basically set PHEV's, hybrids and VIABLE alternative fuel options back...oh about...lets see... 2 terms...4 years each... about 8 years i would guess.
