  1. This sounds to me like something that Matthew McConaughey would have said. I've never seen this one either. Dazed and Confused
  2. I almost confirmed it for you WordWolf, definitely Bob Dylan. Cherokee People "I've got sunshine on a cloudy day"
  3. "Buddy, I think you're slime"! "You're discharged, Sarge." "Do you think she was a pro"? "Speak into the microphone squid brain"! "100% Utah!! Good Job".
  4. Anyone? For sure WordWolf, and probably Raf know this one.
  5. It's got a name. The Trojan Room Coffee Pot was in the main computer lab at the University of Cambridge, England. Late 1991. To spare anyone from the disappointment of taking the trip and finding it empty, a scientist created a program that put the picture of the coffee pot on the computer. The first webcam. The location of the coffee pot was in the central computer laboratory with six or more floors not to mention flights of stairs that you would encounter. So this is understandable and you can see why the webcam was created. To know before you go and "was there any jet fuel in the tank" when you got there. I say this as I have just had the first cup of coffee of my day. I'm glad you got a kick out of this George.
  6. No. No. No. I'm using some clues from the last bunch too.
  7. Okay. Let's do a few more obscure movie quotes. Name one movie among them and take the round. "Buddy, I think you're slime"! "You're discharged, Sarge." "Do you think she was a pro"?
  8. I'm glad. Maybe now would be a good time to spill the goods and finish with your answer.
  9. E. T. "I eat breakfast 300 yards away from 4000 Cubans who are trained to kill me!"

  11. Now that's an idea isn't it, but not the right one here. In this case, scientists were working in a laboratory. They were still working, however, I don't mean to throw anybody off track, but the reason for the webcam didn't have much to do with science.
  12. Alright, nobody knows then. In May of 1945, the Japanese dropped incendiary bombs by float planes into a forest near Klamath Falls, Oregon, 20 miles near the northern border of California where a church group, a minister and his wife 6 months pregnant with 5 of their parish children were going on a picnic near an old logging town named Bly, Oregon. A little escape (so they thought) amid the bubbling brooks and ponderosa pines. While the minister parked his car on an old gravel road, his wife and the kids all ages between 11 and 14, began to take a stroll down to a knoll that led to a stream when one of the five, a 13 yr. old girl spotted what looked like a white canvas on the forest floor and got everyone's attention to come take a look. The wife called out to her husband, "It looks like some kind of balloon", standing 50 ft away. Before the minister could shout a warning the girl began to touch and tug at it when the device exploded, killing all five children and the minister's wife and unborn child "almost instantly". What a gruesome thing to happen. Sadly, the minister's wife may not have died right away and the minister had tried to beat his wife's burning clothes with his hands. Next trivia. Why did scientists invent the first webcam? If I may elaborate, what were they trying to monitor or watch?
  13. "I, I wish you could swim, like the dolphins, like dolphins can swim"
  14. Corrected that. Hey so you know, I'm willing to give this one up if it's going to go nowhere. To me it's notable trivia and it's not just local trivia to a few. It's history.
  15. That's affirmative George, but it was no where near San Francisco. Well, given, it's not everyday household information that many would know, but here where I live, there are many who would know something about the only Japanese attack on the continental mainland that took loss of life.
