[shootsahoyt]

It's a evacuation plan in case everybody gets sick at Vegas? :D

That's a good one, but still not correct!! :new_rofl:

[malott]

It dates from the 1400s in the Middle East. The siper was actually an arrow rest worn on the wrist of the bow hand, not fastened to the bow! It allowed the archer to shorten his arrows by as much as six inches.

[malott]

Who actually developed or started the use of the siper?

[shootsahoyt]

Who actually developed or started the use of the siper?

It is of Turkish origin

The final score was Baltimore Colts (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indianapolis_Colts) 23, New York Giants (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_Giants) 17. The game has since become widely known as The Greatest Game Ever Played.[2] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1958_NFL_Championship_Game#cite_note-Greatest-1) The game was the 26th annual NFL championship (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NFL_championship) game.

[malott]

what equation governs the flow of fluids such as water and air?

[shootsahoyt]

The Navier-Stokes equations (http://www.navier-stokes.net/) describe how a fluid flows. They are derived by applying Newton's laws of motion to the flow of an incompressible fluid, and adding in a term that accounts for energy lost through the liquid equivalent of friction, viscosity.

I have to agree with Punch:) Don't know why any one would name their kid that, ifn it were me I . I would Sit down and call Bull. But that's just me:D

[shootsahoyt]

I have to agree with Punch:) Don't know why any one would name their kid that, ifn it were me I . I would Sit down and call Bull. But that's just me:D

Sitting Bull is correct! you're up Mobow!

Once a young indian ask his Father , Majestic Elk, how they decided on names.
"Well Son, when a young indian is born the father looks out of the teepee and the 1st thing he sees is the childs name. Your mother, Dove in Flight was named by her father Chief Prancing Deer and I named you, your brother, Black Bear and your sister, Morning Sun. Did that clear things up for you, my son?"
"I guess, father" the young Indian replied.
"Ok then, Two Dogs Humping, go on now and play with the other children."

[Tejas Raz]

I have to agree with Punch:) Don't know why any one would name their kid that, ifn it were me I . I would Sit down and call Bull. But that's just me:D

This is a very good article on Sitting Bull. The web site is also very high caliber with loads of articles for anyone with an interest in the Indian culture.

http://www.manataka.org/page55.html

Tatanka Iyotanka was an extraordinary man. In his epic battle for the rights of his people had served them for 59 years. He was, without a doubt, one of the greatest Lakota leaders ever. The Lakota mourned him as well he deserved. He is remembered as an inspirational leader, fearless warrior, loving father, gifted singer; a man always affable and friendly toward others, whose deep religious faith gave him prophetic insight and lent special power to his prayers.

Many whites heaped scorn upon his memory because he had stood in their way for so many years. But Grandfather Tatanka Iyotanka had not lived his life to please “wasichu”. Rather he had lived to serve his people, the Lakota Nation, in whose bosom his memory is sacred. His death is a grim story of false arrest, when there was no one to defend the Native American; his name should never be forgotten. Upon the death of their leaders, the Sioux tribes ceased their struggle against the white man.

QUOTES FROM CHIEF SITTING BULL:

"A child is the greatest gift from Wakan Tanka (Great Mystery), in response to many devout prayers, sacrifices and promises". "Let us put our minds together and see what kind of life we can make for our children".

"I want to tell you that if the Great Spirit has chosen anyone to be chief of this country, it is myself."

"I am here by the will of the Great Spirit, and by his will I am chief. I know the Great Spirit is looking down upon me from above, and will hear what I say… He put in your heart certain wishes and plans; in my heart, he put other different desires."

"When I was a boy the Sioux owned the world. The sun rose and set on their land; they sent ten thousand men to battle. Where are the warriors today? Who slew them? Where are out lands? Who owns them? Is it wrong for me to love my own? Is it wicked for me because my skin is red? Because I am Sioux? Because I was born where my father lived? Because I would die for my people and my country?"

"Now that we are poor, we are free. No white man controls our footsteps. If we must die, we die defending our rights".

"In my early days, I was eager to learn and to do things, and therefore I learned quickly."

"You think I am a fool, but you are a greater fool than I am."

"What white man can say I stole his land or a penny of his money? Yet they say that I am a thief. What white woman, however lonely, was ever captive or insulted by me? Yet they say I am a bad Indian. What white man has ever seen me drunk? Who has ever come to me hungry and left me unfed?" "Who has seen me beat my wives or abuse my children? What law have I broken?"

“God made me an Indian. If the Great Spirit had desired me to be a white man, he would have made me so in the first place. It is not necessary for eagles to be crows".

"If a man loses anything and goes back and looks carefully for it, he will find it, and that is what the Indians are doing now when they ask you to give them the things that were promised them in the past. And I do not consider that they should be treated like beasts, and that is the reason I have grown up with the feelings I have. I feel that my country has gotten a bad name, and I want it to have a good name. It used to have a good name, and I sit sometimes and wonder who it is that has given it a bad name".

“What treaty that the white man ever made with us have they kept? Not One.”

[mobow#1]

I will take Living Legends for $800.00:D I will pass my turn to Raz:5bullwhip: We need to get him more involved in this game:cool: So you Big ole Texican!!! Your up.

[mobow#1]

Alright MoBow! Christmas is over, let's get this thing going!!!:)


Right after I get back from eating some Crab Legs at Sherry's home cooking in Brunswick!


What temp. does water start to boil at here is Mo? Does it change with altitude if so how many degrees? :) Ya all put your heads together, I will check back later.

[punch_master]

Actually the boiling point of water varies by barometric pressure not neccessarily altitude (although higher altitude usually does result in lower pressure)
At sea level boiling point of water is 212 degree.

Right now 12/27/08 5:18 pm EST Missouri has Barometric pressures that range from 1002 millibars to 1006 millibars of pressure depending on your location in the state and the weather you are experiencing. These result in boiling points that range from 211.39 degrees for 1002 millibars to 211.61 degrees for 1006 millibars.

[punch_master]

I'm gonna assume I got that one right so here is my question.
What creature's (land or sea) venom will kill a human being the fastest?

and since that one is so easy I'll make it a two parter.

What creature throughout history has killed more humans than all other creatures combined?

[mobow#1]

Do not know if it is the fastest, But Black Mamba has one recorded death in less than 9 minutes!! The King Cobra is 5 times faster, Still searching punch, BTW them crab legs were goooooooooood:D

[shootsahoyt]

I would say that thru out history, dogs have killed more humans than any other.... Man's "best" friend!.

[Walleye Joe]

I think it may be the female mosquito that's killed the most people! Pesky little things.

[punch_master]

You need both answers to win gentlemen.

[shootsahoyt]

Black Mamba has one recorded death in less than 9 min

would say that thru out history, dogs have killed more humans than any other.... Man's "best" friend!.

[mobow#1]

You need both answers to win gentlemen.


Dang it Punch:5blindfold: Didn't any one fill you in??? We are going WWF On ASN Triva:eek: we are trying to tag team here:D

[punch_master]

Black Mamba has one recorded death in less than 9 min

would say that thru out history, dogs have killed more humans than any other.... Man's "best" friend!.Dogs? not even close.

I'm talking AVERAGE lethal time not the fastest death ever recorded. Taipai's are tons more lethal than Mamba's any way but it still aint either of them.

Hint: Forget about snakes.

[punch_master]

Dang it Punch:5blindfold: Didn't any one fill you in??? We are going WWF On ASN Triva:eek: we are trying to tag team here:DEven as a team you still aint got both answers.

[mobow#1]

I'm talking AVERAGE lethal time


Would it be Bacteria Like TB??????????? Out on a limb on this one punch

The only other one I can think of is the Hippo!! Final Answer

[punch_master]

I'm talking AVERAGE lethal time


Would it be Bacteria Like TB??????????? Out on a limb on this one punch

The only other one I can think of is the Hippo!! Final AnswerNo & No, Bacteria is not a form of venom and Hippos have only killed a few thousand people in Africa.

This creature is on EVERY continent and has killed literally MILLIONS of people throughout time.

Another hint: One person so far has given me HALF a answer in a previous post.

[mobow#1]

I think it may be the female mosquito that's killed the most people! Pesky little things.


So here is half (Mobow sits back and thinks) Focus, Focus, Focus Man did I wander away from that one

[Walleye Joe]

Another hint: One person so far has given me HALF a answer in a previous post.

I had the other half too but I didn't have time to come up with another question! :D Keep guessing guys and gals. ;)

[mobow#1]

I had the other half too but I didn't have time to come up with another question! :D Keep guessing guys and gals. ;)

In Baseball, when a player is a 5 tool player, what are the 5 tools they are evaluating him on?

[punch_master]

He makes us work for it MoBow!! :D

Let's give our brains a little break on this one...

In Baseball, when a player is a 5 tool player, what are the 5 tools they are evaluating him on?In baseball, a five-tool player is one who excels at hitting for average, hitting for power, baserunning skills and speed, throwing ability, and fielding abilities.

In Major League Baseball, players considered five-tool players have included Hall of Famers Willie Mays and Duke Snider. Non-Hall of Famers like Andre Dawson and Barry Bonds have also been described as five-tool players. Active players who have been described as possessing the five tools include Alex Rodriguez and Ken Griffey, Jr

What is the worlds longest Submarine ever made?

[imanut2]

What is the worlds longest Submarine ever made?
Are you talking underwater sub...or sandwich sub :D

[punch_master]

Are you talking underwater sub...or sandwich sub :DI'll be generous I'll take either answer.

[skip]

I'm gonna go with the russian Typhoon.... I remember reading that they were a few feet longer than our Ohio class ships, but I dont know the length...

[punch_master]

I'm gonna go with the russian Typhoon.... I remember reading that they were a few feet longer than our Ohio class ships, but I dont know the length...Yep. a whole four feet longer than our Ohio boats. (I didn't think our Ohios were even close to the length of a Typhoon)


The largest submarine in the world is the Mk 941-U SSBN (Strategic Submarine Ballistic Nuclear) Typhoon', of the Shark (Akula) - class. For this, it has been included in the Guinness Record Book at the beginning of the 1980s.

Only six of them were built at the naval base in Severodvinsk and they were designed as a response to the US's construction of the first Ohio nuclear submarine with 24 ballistic missiles on board. The Russians succeeded in surpassing the Ohio, and the Mk 941-U SSBN Typhoon is, even today, the largest submarine in the world.

The dimensions of this leviathan are truly impressive. It's 564 feet long (172 meters), has a beam of 74.8 feet (22.8 meters), and an underwater displacement of 50,000 tons. The maximum speed is over 30 knots and it can stay submerged for 120 days, with a maximum crew complement of 130.

Its weaponry is also impressive. For close combat, it's got two torpedo tubes (one 533-mm torpedo tube and one 650-mm torpedo tube) and can carry up to 36 torpedoes at a time. Even more dangerous is the long-range nuclear arsenal it packs, 24 Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles (ICBM) replete with 10 nuclear warheads each. These have a range of up to 10,000 km (6,213 miles).

Typhoon submarines are among the quietest sea vessels in operation, being quieter and yet more maneuverable than their predecessors and have a maximum diving depth of 500 meters (1,640 ft), with an operational one of 380 meters (1,246 ft).

One bit of good news is supposedly all six of the Typhoons have been decommisioned.

PS The world's longest Submarine Sandwich that I can find isn't too far behind at 502 ft long by the University of Waterloo on Oct 14 2000

Here's an easier one that everyone has heard of ......... staying with ships and boats ..... it took 100 years to build, it had no guiding system, it was made of gopherwood, it is 300 cubits long, 50 cubits wide and 30 cubits high and had never rained prior to being built ............. NAME THAT BOAT :-)
