I'm gonna start something see if you guys like it. I'll ask a random trivia question every day (unless im gone) and I'll keep track of who gets the most right. If this becomes something people like, I'll try and keep it going past the summer.

We'll have to work on the honor system here, since the internet has just about every answer out there. If you don't know it, please don't look it up and then post the answer.

I'm going to post these at random times too, otherwise some people might not ever get a chance to answer a question if they are busy same time every day.

I'll keep a running tab of points here. First person to get it right wins the point for the day. Only one guess per person per day.

MacDaddyOJack: 6
Roadkill: 1
49ergirl: 3
bailey: 7

ok, there was a commercial from a very long time ago for a particular kind of candy, "Just how many licks does it take to get to the middle of a Tootsie Pop according to that same commercial? " lol
 
the answer was air force

Question 25

What is the only mammal that can fly?

Close. The USAF was formed in 1947. During WWI, it was the Aviation Section of the US Army Signal Corps (1914-1918). In 1918, the Aviation Section was renamed and grew in size to become the US Army Air Service, and then the US Army Air Corps in 1926, which my Grandpa was a member.

right, the USAF wasn't formed during WWI, but the question read what current branch of the U.S. military was a corps, so the way the question was worded it still makes sense. i didnt make it up tho :cool:

Question 26

What is the official summer sport of Canada?
