OT: Trivia Time - Page 8

I believe it was hanging.

Capt Squid · 07-10-09, 10:34 PM

Actually, that was only PART of the punishment.

The traitor would be hanged until almost dead; there was no sudden drop to break the neck. Then, the traitor would be revived only to be hanged again. This may or may not have gone on for a while. Then, the traitor would have been emasculated and slowly disemboweled and his entrails burned while he watched. Finally, he would be beheaded and quartered and his head sent to the Tower and the remaining parts sent to the four corners of the kingdom. Females were burned at the stake.

Sorry, no cookie on this one.

'NOTHER QUESTION:

What outfit does Colonel Jethro E. Culpepper head?

Torplexed · 07-12-09, 01:56 PM

Colonel Jethro E. Culpepper is the fictitious head of the Commemorative Air Force (formerly know as the Confederate Air Force) an Texas non-profit organization that recovers, repairs and flies old WW2 warbirds.

Capt Squid · 07-13-09, 02:18 AM

From two men sharing the $3000 purchase price of a war-weary P-51 and two subsequent F8F Bearcats at $850 apiece, the humble beginnings of the CAF gave way to a great organization. I've been to Rebel Field and seen some of the aircraft. I just wish Political Correctness hadn't reared its ugly head. (And they no longer limit themselves to purely WWII aircraft, as they now count an H-19 and a MiG-17 Fresco in their hangars.)

Well done, sir. Here's your cookie.

'NOTHER QUESTION:

Who said this about what group: "They dress like Tarzan, have hair like Jane and smell like Cheetah"?

kaptkirkU4467 · 07-29-09, 08:41 AM

Ronald Reagan mocked the insurgent hippies of Berkeley: "They dress like Tarzan, have hair like Jane, and smell like Cheeta."

Capt Squid · 08-02-09, 10:09 PM

And it was probably an apt depiction of the Hippies.

Well done, sir. Here's yer cookie.

'NOTHER QUESTION:

Who is this fellow and what is he well know for? (no peeky at the linky)

Torplexed · 08-06-09, 07:39 PM

Richard Jordan Gatling. He invented the weapon that "dem damn Yankees load up on a Sunday and shoot all week long"--the Gatling Gun.

'NOTHER QUESTION:

This movie studio was reknowned for producing B-Movies, some of them real flops. But they produced a series of comedic shorts that was in very high demand. To that end, the studio utilized the fame of their comedic team's shorts to bolster the sales of their B-Movies, requiring that in order to get the shorts, they had to buy the feature film.

Name the studio and the comedic team. Pics, if you can.

Capt Squid · 08-16-09, 06:23 PM

HINT:

We used to watch them on Saturday mornings.

kaptkirkU4467 · 08-18-09, 08:54 AM

Tom and jerry?

Capt Squid · 08-18-09, 02:17 PM

Nope. The group I have in mind didn't become animated until the 60s.

Torplexed · 08-19-09, 08:21 PM

The Three Stooges and Columbia Pictures?

Never knew they had a Saturday morning cartoon...
