What is George Bush's name? - Obi2Kenobi - 02-06-2005

Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, German edition.
According to a German friend who told me about this, the question is: What is George W. Bush's first name?

Could you please edit out your URLs? I don't know if they ever "worked", but all they do now is redirecting to a porn site and opeing a couple of pop-up porn ads...

Uh, no they don't. I clicked them, and they worked fine.

Methinks the problem is on YOUR end, not on his.

That's hilarious.

C'mon guys, don't be so mean. We all know "George" is short for "Edmund". :P

(guess the person must have been both stressed and into thrie trivia mode so much that they lost a lot of common sense.)

Without the "Ask the Audience" part, it wouldn't be nearly as funny. :w00t:

The likelihood of this being "for real" is rather small.

"Who is buried in Grant's Tomb?"

I assume it's a spoof off the show, which always starts out with ridiculously easy questions that occasionally trip someone up. The Grant's Tomb riddle was the first thing that popped into my mind when I read the post, too.

This has got to be one of the funniest posts in a long time. I don't know if the poster was serious or not, but...lol

Depends on what kind of answer the querent wants.

Occupancy or identity?

No one bites, so I'll end this now.

Occupancy: the former U.S. President Grant— and his wife as well.

Identity: Ulyssess S. Grant was born Hiram Ulyssess Grant. When being appointed to West Point, his sponsor mistakenly thought that his middle name was his given one. Rather that face the hassle of correcting this in the academy, he went on with the mistaken name.

If one answers "President Ulysses Grant" or "Ulysses S Grant" one would be correct. One would also be partially correct, since as you point out, his wife is buried there as well.

What Pres Grant did by his accepting the error was accomplish a defacto legal name change.

A name is what you are called and answer to. Norma Jean aka Marylin certainly stands as a fine example of that, the actor Michael Keaton (nee Douglas) as well.

Try answering this correctly. I am not even sure one can answer this accurately.

"How long is the average 10 minute break?"

At a convention?

At a seminar?

In a scholastic setting?


Is it even practicable?

What is heavier:

1kg lead

or

1kg plumes

?


Not so trivial: if you put up a scale on the moon, on the one side 1kg plumes (accurately measured on the earth), on the other 1kg lead (accurately measured on the earth), will the scale travel? If so, to which side?

Do you refer to on kg mass, or weight, which I think is in Newtons.
