I knew it was one or the other, actually from an old Van Der Graff Generator album called "H to He who am the only one". Well lets go with music in that case-

MUSIC: Jeff Beck is known for his solo work, The Jeff Beck Group and his work with The Yardbirds-A famous singer/rocker sang with Beck for awhile, back in the day-name him!

Clapton?

no good guess tho--Clapton was with the Yardbirds at one point as was Jimmy Page.

Rod Stewart?

Definitely Stewart.

FILM: What movie won the 1 ever Oscar (Academy Award) 4 Best Picture?

Post by **Dromond** » Wed Jan 21, 2004 9:34 pm

I'll throw out the first (obvious) guess:
Gone with the Wind?

Post by **danlo** » Wed Jan 21, 2004 11:35 pm

No it's older than that like in the 30s-But the name of the film is associated with something to do with the title u just mentioned...

Was it Sunrise?

Post by **DukkhaWaynhim** » Thu Jan 22, 2004 2:37 am

I have the answer, but I had to look it up

I'll wait to see if somebody knows it, before I become a spoilsport.

It's a tuffie but I remember it 4 some reason--I seem 2 have a mindtrap facility for odd trivial facts--aside from being a Jeopardy! addict.

It's like Andy Rooney said a long time ago, "If I could replace all these useless facts in my head with something useful like Nuclear Physics, ah then I'd be getting somewhere..." Garbage in, garbage out...

Dukka--feel free to slap the answer up and take over, at this point. No point in stalling the game any longer...

Wings, according to the Academy Awards Database [and the only way I would have ever known, btw

]

SCIENCE: If mixed in proper molar ratios, a dangerously strong acid (such as hydrochloric) and a dangerously strong base (such as sodium hydroxide) will produce what two relatively harmless things?

Post by **danlo** » Thu Jan 22, 2004 3:45 pm

I have no idea-salt and rocksalt?

Post by **DukkhaWaynhim** » Thu Jan 22, 2004 3:47 pm

Danlo, you just got part of the answer right! Salt (Sodium Chloride if you use my example) So, what's the other harmless thing?
