None of these dweebs know the sequence of events so that'll be fun.. they don't realize it's an endurance apparatus being built out there today, and they don't expect that anything with a physical component could follow an endurance without a day's break in between :D
I think the random fact announcements may figure into Part 2 - I'm hoping so anyway.. they could make a terrific comp with the numbers, country/state shapes, the crossover items, and so forth
I've had them on the homepage for weeks - study up :) I didn't include the yard perimeter or pool laps, as they're old news.. they've been quiet for weeks but 7" records/45 rpm came along out of the blue the other night
what might make it interesting is that all of them have forgotten the Wurlitzer 1015 Bubbler, and they all tend to waffle on whether it's 14 or 15 Soviet republics - at one point, Dan & M-Bob were saying 15 but "let Keesha think it's 14" but last time they studied, they both said 14
Dan also keeps saying "14 republics in Russia" which could get him mixed up with the birch tree.. Jerry's focusing on the adjectives "slightly" "usually" etc - (I didn't even take most of those down)
I have real high hopes for a great comp with these factoids, so I will probably be disappointed again and it'll be yet another comp about the has-beens
· 7" records were played at 45 rpm
·121 marble slots in a Chinese checkerboard
·Sweden is slightly larger than California
·The tallest building west of the Mississippi is 73 stories
·Over 300 species of turtles alive today
·Wurlitzer 1015 Bubbler arguably the most popular jukebox of all time
·Birch is the national tree of Russia
·It takes 1000s of volts of electricity to power a neon light bulb
·Largest weather vane is in Spain
·15 republics in the Soviet Union
