There has been pretty much no traffic in the games forum lately and I am hoping that a new game may spice it up. I hope.....

So here is the idea. Very similar to many of the games but for people who know way too much about nothing. The first person will ask a trivia question that will hopefully be answered by the next. The person who answers has to ask their own trivia and so on....


Anyway,

The primary colors of paint are red, blue and yellow. These are not the same three primary colors as light. What are the three primary colors of light?
Rock Rock On!

In medieval times, the star was known as the Seal of Solomon, and was a popular Islamic symbol.
In Medieval Jewish, Christian and Islamic legends, the Seal of Solomon was a magical signet ring said to have been possessed by King Solomon, which variously gave him the power to command demons (or jinni), genies, or to speak with animals.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seal_of_Solomon

Holy! This got pretty long pretty quick...for my pretzel question praying is correct. My guess for what color of plastic blocks red light would be yellow. I will wait before looking up the rain question to see if someone knows since I don't and looking it up is my last resort.

However, not all rain reaches the surface; some evaporates while falling through dry air. This is called virga, a phenomenon often seen in hot, dry desert regions'

you need to pose a question to continue the thread, please.

Ahh... interesting! Shhh

Recently (last couple of years), when paleontologists discovered a new species of dinosaur, they were listening to a famous rock guitarist's music during the dig. They decided to name the dinosaur after the musician. What's the name of the newly discovered dinosaur species?

The dinosaur full name is Masiakasaurus knopfleri, and it was named after the Dire Strait's guitarist Mark Knopfler.

Really cool question...and I admit that I looked it up. Shhh

Okay...

Actually the website I found said...

The first traffic light in America was set up in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1914.

I went with the question so we could all chant "Cleveland Rocks" over and over again.

A hamlet is not incorporated and a village is. Hamlets are like villages that are not big enough to be villages even. Typically a hamlet relies on a surrounding or nearby village for structure (utlities, regulations etc.). New York has a surprising number of Hamlets.




What does the word "Kamikaze" mean and what was it's original significance (before WWII)?

Kamikaze means "Divine Wind", and it actually originally referred to a typhoon which destroyed Kubla Khan's ships when he attempted to take over Japan...twice...in 1274 and 1281
