Just another useless trivia thread. Once the correct answer is posted, feel free to post your own useless trivia questions.

Useless trivia question number 1

Where did the term Honeymoon originate?
 
Something to do with Honey Meed and the moon as I recall.

Or something about them taking off for a month after the wedding.

<---Has had his "Mind Altered"
 
The Honeymoon: In ancient times when brides were captured by their grooms, the groom would hide his wife where nobody would find her. This hiding continued while the moon went through all its phases (approximately 30 days). During this time the couple drank a brew of honey to make them feel more amorous, thus the term honeymoon.


edit: Question: What was the first product to have a bar code?
 
I looked the answer up but I couldn't really put something that precise and wordy into my own words...


is anyone gonna get angry if I just copy and paste?


Edit: looks like someone beat me to doing it anyway.



So here goes a question:

Why aren't lions and tigers put in the same cage with a travelling circus? The obvious answer is that they might fight, but that's not the answer I'm looking for.

the lions and tigers will kill the travelling circus. Plus it'd be a pretty small circus all being in one cage.

A group of tigers doesn't have a name, because they don't travel or hunt in groups.

So if I bunch of tigers and lions were in a cage on a travelling circus, and one tiger got into a fight with one lion, all the lions would kill that tiger while the other tigers just watched. And most likely, the lions would then kill the other tigers because they would then feel threatened, and the others would still just watch. and on and on until there are no tigers and still a pride of lions.

 
Well let see first Ford made them during the War(WWII), Kaiser bought The Jeep name, then American Motors, bought it from Kaiser in the late 60's I believe.
 
Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers. A peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked. If Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers, where's the peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked?

I know that the vehicles were around in 1941, but was the brand name actually "Jeep" at that time?
I think think they were called 'jeep' because of the 'GP' designation, but I didn't think that that was the actual brand name until after the war.
