Well, kill some brain cells because you are correct. The right answer is 3.

Chicken eyelids...one upper, one lower, and a membrane that goes vertically. The upper and lower are open most of the day, and the third one keeps the eye moist.

 

The three eyelid question was from Trivial Pursuit. I don't remember what edition, but it's one question and answer that has stuck in my head for decades.

My grandmother used to raise chickens. You'd think that she would have taught me that, but no, I spent my time shoveling chicken s**t and gathering eggs.

Nope, I looked it up and I'm wrong.

Some are complaining that there are too many rules already .

I think it's a good idea but for fear of putting the last nail in this thread's coffin , let's skip it .

 

In what year did the first United States nuclear powered submarine get underway?

 

I'll take a stab at it & say 1955 

[WHX?? 50,793]

Correct you are! , January 17 1955

NOVA

 

[Racinbob 11,766]

But....but.....but.....Did it morph into the Nova or just drop the Chevy II name? Even when the Chevy II came out in 1962 the top of the line trim was called a Nova.

What caught my attention was that I had a 1966 Chevy Nova back in the early 70's. What a cool car. My curiosity was aroused so I did do a search with no intentions of spilling the beans until somebody got the intended answer. I think it's fair to say that Richard was 100% right because the Chevy II name was dropped and they all were Novas after that. So morph it is!

 

This thread is cool. A mix of Wheel Horse, cars, space, and other fun things. Look at the things we are learning.
