DAMN IT! I had something in my eye AND I didn't google it either.

Do you know what a nut Cheseborough was? Cutting and burning himself to test the healing powers?

 

[JamesU]

So...what'cha talkin about?

 

[Evo]

Not fair! I know this worthless trivia because I do not have a life, and I'm old, and slow.

[Mk]

The game is called "What was it?"

Someone gives a clue or two and the rest guess and google as fast as they can to get the right answer. If you get it right you give the next clues. It is traditionally an invention of some sort.

MK is now thinking of some new clues.

 

[JamesU]

hhhhhhhhmmmmmmmm...

 

[zoobyshoe]

MK, we're waiting!

 

[JamesU]

A company exports the largest percentage of beef from the U.S. It shares its name with an American supermodel, what is his father's race?
