[88Racing]

Corey hasn't responded to my request on the cash yet. :(
If she does hopefully we can do back payments?

This weeks impossible trivia question is:

Approximately 80% of the time, a woman makes this household decision?

[cleatus12r]

"What is decides what is for dinner for $100, Alex."

I wish my wife would make that decision 100% of the time. I hate making choices.

Edit:

I know what the answer is but I'll leave it to the others to figure it out.

[ChuckD]

Designing the house.

[88Racing]

"What is decides what is for dinner for $100, Alex."

[88Racing]

Designing the house.

[Robert6401]

WOO HOO! Making a name for myself already :D

[cleatus12r]

What KIND of toilet paper to buy?

On that note.....

I always used to let my wife choose/buy the toilet paper. The stuff she bought was OK.

Then one day I decided to buy something I wanted. She used it once and has been buying it since. The first words out of her mouth were, "It feels like you're wiping with a SHIRT!"

:happy-dancing: For me!

[907DAVE]

:smiley_roll1: My g/f makes 100% of the decisions when it comes to toiletries. Back in the bachelor day's I used to "acquire" some of those industrial sized rolls of TP. That stuff was pretty rough, but got the job done.:hehe:

[88Racing]

My problem is she decides on what we should HAVE and then I have to go buy it:(!!!!!!!!!!

[907DAVE]

Bored?
One of those years is right. Now if you pick the right one you'll win.
It's between 1910+1915.

[fifity]

1913, same year they smacked us with the IRS...

[88Racing]

Nope!:)

[majek5]

Bored?
One of those years is right. Now if you pick the right one you'll win.
It's between 1910+1915.

Yeah, maybe a little bored.:cheesy smile:

[Longshot270]

1911?


(On a separate post)
1912?



(On a separate post)
1914?



....ok so I'm lazy. :smiley_roll1:

[907DAVE]

1910?

[907DAVE]

1915?

[88Racing]

Ok
I'll be fair about this.
I'll give $100 to both Longshot and Majek.
The year the first pickup was available was 1912 sold by an aftermarket company. Later on Ford copied the idea, they did so due to the popularity of the kit.
Till next week.
Thanx for playing!!!!!!

[Longshot270]

woo hoo, I finally won one. :woot:

[907DAVE]

There will be a bonus question related to this also.


Well....

[fifity]

daimler sold his truck to the public in 1896...

[88Racing]

In what year was a pickup made available to the people who wanted one?

$100 game room cash to the first correct answer!

There will be a bonus question related to this also.

I should have been more SPECIFIC in my question.
I should have stated American public.
Fifty is also correct with 1896 but it's in Germany.
Truck History (http://inventors.about.com/library/inventors/bltruck.htm)
Anyone who guessed 1900 well that was for Mack trucks which later became GMC and they first produced trucks not pickups.

No bonus question to follow!
$300 is going to be split up by fifty, majek, and Longshot.

The end.
Until next week

It is surprising how much stuff happened on youtube that morning!

Congrats!:)
Eric!!!!!!!
You won $2000 in gameroom cash!

BTW
I'm making a mental note of not to ask any trivia on where I was born and raised part of my life. That's across the border in Beloit.
Just thought I'd let you know. :)

Cool, the Rochester question was the big guess for me...


Well, as for knowledge of Beloit, I'm actually born/raised up around the twin cities/wisconsin border, so I know almost nothing about Rockford and Beloit (I'm a transplant...)

Thanks for the fun trivia!

I would've said Rochester was known for driving Jack Benny around. :)

Boss lady put a cap on how much I can award as prize money.
So.......
$1000 is the top I can go.
Another new rule.
If you have won within the last 30 days then let others have a chance.
Thanx!:)
