Rupert nailed it.  Of course he gave away his approx age.  Knew it would be an older person.

That would be my guess. Went to high school with his niece. Ain’t I special?

Question - Who is the oldest player to play in the NFL?

 

Btw, while verifying I was correct (which I was) the list I saw was wrong for whatever reason unless it was currently active.

Jerry Jones. He does it all. Lmao.

I met him back in the early 60s at Herman hospital where I was parking cars.  Later on when he needed to kick they would roll him out in a wheelchair and he would kick a field goal and they would roll him back over to the sidelines.🙄

[Hagar]

Yep, the old man could do it all.  Of course he was a straight on kicker.  No soccer kicking for him.  Not a bad QB either.

Now I’ve got a question I don’t know the answer too.  Watching CBS News blaming the California weather on Climate Change.  The question is, What did news people blame bad weather on before the phrase “Climate Change” became the buzz phrase?  Like the dust bowl in the 1930’s, what phrase did they use then?  Or when the highest temperature ever recorded in 1913 at Death Valley, 134.1.  What did they call it?  I’m betting “bad weather”.

There was no blame before there was an agenda. Use to call those events an act of God. That may not be so acceptable these days because that would be acknowledging there is actually a God.

This is a great question to ask - How many of each type of animals did Moses put on the Ark?

 

My bet, most will answer wrong.

[rupert3]

None.  Moses wasn't on the Ark it was Noah

Not completely accurate.

Genesis 7:2–3 (ESV) 

 

2 Take with you seven pairs of all clean animals, the male and his mate, and a pair of the animals that are not clean, the male and his mate, 3 and seven pairs of the birds of the heavens also, male and female, to keep their offspring alive on the face of all the earth.

Not sure how to ask this into a question, other than yes or no, so I’ll just pass along what I’ve read.

The earth is more perfectly round than a pool ball if the pool ball was enlarged to the size of the earth.

Now you’re learning real useful information, 😂😂😂

I find it hard to believe a dragonfly can fly faster than a carpenter bee. I looked it up and dragonflies are faster though.

That’s because you’ve never had to run from a dragonfly. 🙂

Question!
 

What book starts off with this line?  

“It was a bright cold day in April, and the clocks were striking thirteen”.

I’ll wait for the answer.  Remember, no Google.

Btw, I’m reading it (again) now.

Took a swat at a carpenter bee once, missed him, and he flew about 50 yards and was immediately back in my face. Couldn’t put a watch on that, but I thought it was amazing.

Used to catch dragonflies as a kid on the schoolyard with a crab . The ones with big blue heads were cool looking. Used to catch them by hand on things they would light on. The small green ones were impossible.

Now, to answer Hagar’s last question. I would guess Stephen King, but it would be one I haven’t read.
