I didn't read anywhere where I wasn't allowed to use the resources at my fingertips. Besides, it's not something I know since I'm not the party-goer, beer drinking enthusiast.

Re: How Smart Are You?

Here's another TRUE/FALSE or Fact/Crap question for you

#6
The Japanese bombed Canada during World War II


And of course you need to provide proof weather it is really fact or crap.
Details people, details.

Re: How Smart Are You?

I know the Japanese attacked the Aleutians during WWII, but I call bull on any actual Japanese bombing of Canadian soil. The Canadians did take part in the battle, however, so they were involved and were fighting each other on American soil, but not Canadian soil.

Re: How Smart Are You?

True and Fact.

Canada was attacked by a "balloon" type bomb launched on January 12, 1945.

Reference:
http://archives.cbc.ca/on_this_day/01/12/

The US was also under attack by a slew of these "balloon" bombs, although I don't remember hearing about it in my U.S. History courses. I wonder why...

Probably the same reason that kids think the US Civil War had anything to do with slavery.

Re: How Smart Are You?

Hmm, well, I just don't recall any of my U.S. History courses (high school or college) covering Japanese balloon bombs on U.S. soil. WW2 era history that I do remember covering mostly dealt with the U.S. (us) doing it to the other side and the effects of the war on the world and on the average American.

Re: How Smart Are You?

+1 goes to Acreo Aeneas

FACT-
The Japanese sent 9.300 balloon bombs floating across the Pacific.
It is thought that less than 1,000 made it and exploded in places like Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, North and South Dakota, and Canada.
They were called FU-GO by the Japanese, and were supposed to start forest fires.
It was kept out of the papers because the US didn't want Japan to know if their plan had worked, so they wouldn't send more.
Try keeping something like that from the media now.

#7
Place the same three-letter word in each blank below to make four common words.

______ GED
______ GEREL
______ MATIC
______ SLED


EDIT:
well crap, it already won't let me edit my scoreboard

Acreo Aeneas +2
MagnaCentipede +2
War.mongeR1 +1
thegreatnardini +1

Do I get a point for pointing out that it's actually spelled 'whether'?

Re: How Smart Are You?

First up, westyfield gets minus -1 for reminding me I really am the worst speller in the entire world.

Next up dave m gets a +1 for the win. DOG was the correct answer.

Dog came in a very close 2nd, but will get some bonus points (since he knows the other admins) If he can tell me how to edit the post on the 1st page with the scoreboard. I can't believe you only have a few hours to edit a post.

Until then, you get the cheap non-flashy version of the scoreboard:

Acreo Aeneas +2
MagnaCentipede +2
War.mongeR1 +1
thegreatnardini +1
dave m +1

Is Squad 6 making a run at ruling in this game too?

Next up:

#8

Fact or Crap

To cool themselves, turkey vultures poop on their own legs.
And remember to give details.......


And I am in a pretty good mood, so I guess I won't give westyfield a -1.
