September 15Sep 15 Totally guessing again.For the 1st one: I'm tempted to say "real cookies", but that would get quite messy and the crumbs would probably attract insects and vermin.

September 20Sep 20 Argh! Ask me something I know!NYC ball drop: I'm gonna say C: 1921 because it sounds like a "Roaring '20s" thing.Filmmaker: C: George Lucas. Only because "American Graffiti" featured some street racing.I may change my answers to whatever citytrader's answers are, because he always seems to get the questions correct.
September 20Sep 20 I know the ball was pre-war, because I remember reading it was dark in '42 and '43 because of the war, so I'll go with JB and say C: 1921.I'm pretty sure JB is also correct in picking C: George Lucas.JB, you may actually be two for two!!!

September 23Sep 23 Author Questions 64:In 1997, CNN decided that the following natural wonders would be the Seven Wonders of the Natural World.1. The Grand Canyon2. The northern lights3. Victoria Falls4. The harbor of Rio de Janeiro5. Mount Everest6. The Great Barrier ReefWhat was number seven? A: The Amazon River watershedB: Mount Kilimanjaro and the surrounding SerengetiC: Paricutin (a cinder cone volcano in Mexico)D: The Rhine River Valley
September 23Sep 23 I'm totally guessing and saying C: Paricutin (a cinder cone volcano in Mexico)I was leaning toward the Amazon, but they already have the harbor at Rio, which is pretty close to the Amazon watershed (I think about 100 miles), so I nixxed that answer. The Rhine river valley is way too built up and altered by man to be a natural wonder, so I coin tossed the other two!
September 23Sep 23 I agree with citytrader that the Rhine River Valley is too developed to be 'natural'. But cinder cones are a dime a dozen. So I'm gonna say A: The Amazon River watershed

Saturday at 06:56 PM2 days Hoo boy. Time to make a fool of myself again. I would've thought that all of those rivers were fairly shallow... evidently not. In honor of the color of the text, I will make a blue-sky guess and say A: Congo River, only because I know practically nothing about the Congo.
