Potpourri thread

[tkim]

oh yeah, i'm american. i have no idea of what an army post is. however, my guess is...100. ...i have no friggin clue.

 

[thraashman]

I am american, I just have no knowledge of the military.

 

[warcleric]

Heh, did I kill your thread?

 

[Zoltar]

Cleric,

I'll guess 0. You can't park trucks on a post.

BTW, this question sucks.

 

[warcleric]

Zoltar: it sucks why? because it isnt easy?

 

[tkim]

no offense, hell yeah it sucks

because there's almost no way of finding out. not too intersting for me.

 

[Zoltar]

I turned to a few of my fellow co-workers (5 to be exact) and they all say it sucks in their own way.

 

[warcleric]

Christ you people suck, this is a huge resource for information outside of ATOT, you want me to ask a new question?

 

[thraashman]

I wasn't aware that there was a set number of trucks per base. I always figured it would varybased on the size of the base.

 

[warcleric]

Ok, forget that question, new question.

What is the Korean age right now of someone born April 5, 1963?

 

[Zoltar]

37

 

[thraashman]

is the Korean age counted differently. Try some American culture questions.

 

[Yzzim]

38

 

[warcleric]

Sorry, I guess I overestimated the intelligence of you guys.

Here are the answers:

1. The truck is the ball ont he top of the main flag pole on post, therefore there is 1 truck on every Army Installation.

2. 39, when Koreans are born they are 1, not 0, and Koreans all turn a year older on new years....not on their birth date.

Pass the baton to someone who can think up simple questions.

 

[Yzzim]

warcleric - wouldn't that person be 38 though, considering that April 5th hasn't come yet?

 

[warcleric]

Yzzim, they turn a year older on New Years, not their birth date, so their age increased on either Jan 1st or chinese new year, cant remember which, but both have passed.

 

[Yzzim]

Ah, I see

 

[warcleric]

But at least you tried, Yzzim you should get the baton, you ask the next question.

 

[Yzzim]

heh, ok

Not sure how many people know this but I remember I found it intersting

What did Benjamin Franklin want as the national symbol of the U.S.?

And just for fun, why?

 

[ArkAoss]

turkey, thanksgiving.

 

[Yzzim]

I'm guessing you meant turkey, in which case you'd be right...but it wasn't because of Thanksgiving.

 

[ArkAoss]

Yup, meant Turkey.

For my next question, Of the soup, Clam Chowder, their Are 3 variations. The New England white, the Manhattan red. And a third. What is it called? and what is it's defining characteristic,
NO New Englanders can answer!!

 

[warcleric]

Boston, and its distinctive characteristic is it smells like boston harbor.

 

[Yzzim]

Ok, yeah, for those of you wondering why good ol' Benny wanted the turkey; it was because he considered the eagle a "bird of bad moral character" because it lives "by sharping and robbing."
