How bout some random trivia?

If you answer the question before, ask a new one.

[12intheBox]

The idea is whoever gets the answer asks the next question

And yeah - I think shippy mcshipface counts as close enough


But considering neither of you asked a question - in the interest of trying to get it going - here is another

What was the first console video game that allowed the video game to be saved?

By password? I'm guessing Gauntlet.

No password? Probably, The Legend of Zelda.

Wild guess. Mammoth?

Across the river from our farm property is Miller cave on Fort Leonard Wood. Its a clovis site with near continual habitation from clovis point makers through to the late woodland period. We cross the river and "tresspass" on to the military base and go to the caves at least a couple times a year. There are petroglyphs and unexcavated burial caves as well as several cairns.

Been there. And there's a great fishing spot in a park just (well a mile or two) north of there.

ok..let's see if we can get back on track

there was once a ship that was in
Two different days,
Two different months,
Two different years,
Two different seasons
But in two different centuries - all at the same time!

Name the ship
