Ready? Sounds like FUN to me....

Ok here goes...

Rules...

No references to Lyme, etc in the game. We all need a short break once in a while... something to tax the brain a bit.. and something that will make us smile.

Once a question is asked.. the first one to get it right gets to ask the next question. The original question asker has to confirm the winner of each round.

I will try to come up with a good question

If someones question seems to difficult feel free to google
Have fun...


here goes....

Oops, sorry, forgot to check back.

Second question- Who is Mahatma Gandhi? (I think)
Let's see, I know lots of inherently useless and ridiculously fascinating information...

In the 1960's, this medicinal product had largely fallen out of popularity. Thanks largely to a clever ad scheme, which advocated using TWO tablets instead of one, they experienced a remarkable reversal and are still doing a booming business today.

Funny, Charlie.
The Isle of Langerhans is a cluster of specialized cells in the part of the pancreas that produces hormones, and would, indeed, be much smaller than Bishop Rock.

Hey, who are you calling common? ;o) (Yes, I know you meant come on...)

When this state was originally annexed into the Union, there was a clause in the annexation document allowing the possibility of it's being split into up to as many as five different states.

Very good. Locked in a war with Westinghouse over which of them would control the future of electric power, Edison worked to discredit his rival's alternating current with claims that it was unsafe -- so unsafe that it could be used to kill people.

Posted by DR. Wiseass (Member # 6777) on :
 
Well, Larry David, I think, was one of the creators of the show (real friend of Seinfeld) AND is currently on 'Curb Your Enthusiasm'. (I think)

This info comes from my hubby, as I am too forgetful to have such trivia in my head.

This is a good question though.

Can you give a hint - like which character mentions this person - or the relationship with a regular character, etc. ???
 


Posted by daniella (Member # 6753) on :
 
Is it Aboo? ......You know the immigrant guy who Jerry Seinfeld knows.
 
Posted by laserred (Member # 6796) on :
 
Nope, not Aboo....

Hint: He's referenced to in EVERY episode in some respect,(I guess you'd say the relationship is basically with Jerry)... either by mention of his nameor a shot of a statue on Jerry's bookcase or picture (magnet)on Jerry's fridge, etc...

Good Luck

YES...YES...YES.......WHEW!!!

Congratulations IMove2, the board is all yours!

Just an FYI....["Throughout the Seinfeld Saga, Jerry has displayed a fascination with Superman.

From a magnet of Superman on his refrigerator to his numerous casual references to Superman and Superman Lore, the show really was one of the great promotional agents for the Superman saga while it was on the air.

Some of the numerous references to Superman are:

a magnet of Superman is on Jerry's refrigerator

a Superman statue is setting on a shelf near Jerry's stereo

Jerry has referred to Elaine as Lois Lane

Jerry refers to a girlfriend's apartment as the Fortress of Solitude which is a place Superman stays in according to the comic books. In the comics the fortress is in a cold desolate area and requires a giant key to open and gain entry.

Jerry wonders aloud if the reason one of his girlfriend's always wears the same dress is because she has a bunch of them just like Superman has a bunch of identical costumes and capes.

When Jerry dates a woman that will not laugh at his jokes he comments that jokes bounch off of her like she is Superman.

Jerry refers to one of Elaine's poor boyfriends as "the got no green lantern" a reference to another DC comics character (other than Superman) Green Lantern

Jerry refers to people he meets that apppear to be opposites of George and Kramer as the bizarros. The bizaroos were a group of beings invented in a World's Finest Comic Book starting Superman and Batman. Bizaroos are opposites, they see bad as good and good as bad. Bizaroo Batman has a useless utility belt rather than a fully functional one like Batman for example.

Jerry refers to people's nemesis as Lex Luther a nemesis of Superman. "Who is your Lex Luther" is a phrase Jerry uses often. Elaine's Lex Luthur is Sue Ellen the woman that wears a bra as a top for example.

Jerry picks the phrase Jor-El as his bank pin number, this is the same name that Superman's father used on Krypton.

When one of Elaine's boyfriend "the mimbo" in in the hospital as a result of a rock climbing accident which disfigures him, George brings Superman comic books to cheer him up.

Jerry compares the lipreading powers of one of his girlfriend's to Superman's X-ray vision. George considers lipreading just a skill like juggling.

After George orders a supposed cure for baldness from China, Jerry comments that a world without baldness is like nation of Supermen.

Jerry wins a race against someone who thought he cheated on a race in High School to the music from Superman. Music from Superman was also used during one of the clip shows summarzing past episodes from Seinfeld.

Jerry has referred to people's weaknesses as Kryptonite an agent which also weakens Superman."]
