HAPPY FRIDAY ALL YOU FoCERS! So, yesterday's question wasn't much of a challenge for y'all. The question was, On the TV show 'The Dukes of Hazzard,' was the muscle car driven by the Dukes called "General Grant?" The votes are in and EVERYONE said CRAP! Here's the answer (as if you didn't know!). . . It's CRAP! The 1969 Dodge Charger, vivid orange and sporting a Confederate flag painted on the roof, was called "General Lee." When Bo or Luke Duke hit the horn, it played the first few notes of "Dixie." The boys never used the car's doors, preferring to go in and out through the windows." So, y'all got it right today! WHEEE! As a reward, here's a nice picture for you (sorry, Jagger, didn't quickly find one with Daisy in it!)
Several of you took a stab at the bonus question and knew that it was a Dodge Charger. Most remembered it was Orange and had a number on the side. However, only Jeep knew that it was an orange 1969 Dodge Charger with 01 on the side. So, Jeep gets today's Daisy Dukes Award!!! Ophiliasgrandma gets the Hedgehog Award for hedging her bets completely by saying 'General' was Fact and 'Grant' was Crap. And Jagger is hereby bestowed with the Drooler Award for saying it really doesn't matter what the car is as long as Daisy is in it! Oh, and let's not forget Herkleperkle's great artwork! Thanks HP! Ya'll did very well on that one! Let's see what you can do with this one for Friday, January 27th, 2006:
All bulls are color-blind. FACT or CRAP? Discuss! Before you ask, I believe 'bulls' refers to animals of the male bovine variety.

I should know this. I say crap. They can see some colors.(Bandit, scientists can look at the cells in the retina microscopically and see if there are rods (for black and white) and cones (for color). Ok, I am bluffing an little bit here but I still say crap.

(my original answer was not "nevermind". i just edited it later, because i realized i didn't want to post my answer without details. it didn't make sense with just posting crap or fact...to me anyway) but i know this is all about fun..so it doesn't really matter. so, fact (i originally said crap)

Bullfact! Although I think they are now realizing that dogs DO see some colors when they said for years they didn't. I also wonder if they've ever been a bull in a previous life and now are reporting on this. hmmm?

Fact---I think I read the cape could be any colour as far as bulls are concerned. They react to the motion of the cape not the colour. I also believe the reason for the red cape came about as the red cape symbolizes blood and that is why the Matador uses a red cape. I am not 100 percent sure.

I like Chaplin's answer and the Canadian way she spells "colour" instead of the correct way of spelling it "color" <hee-hee!>, so I'll say FACT too.

i have no idea why they decided dogs are colorblind, let alone a bull. i'll say bull crap on this one, though, mostly because i like to say, 'bull crap'. my favorite question would be whether a 'frappin' is color blind. i like to say "frappincrap" more than anything.

and i don't care what the answer really is, although i don't know. but how can anything besides a primate TELL us whether they are colorblind or not? i remember all the kids who did science fairs on whether dogs were colorblind and their stuff never made sense. ...i know of no test that definitively tells us something is colorblind. only humans can talk and who knows about that, even. do i see red as someone else sees green? what does purple look like to you? do things that look great to someone else, seem to clash to me? who thought of this question and kept me up past my 9:00 p.m. bedtime? except, is my 9:00 eastern or pacific? do i go to bed at 9:00 my time? 6:00 my time? crap. i'll be up til 9:00 a.m. (somewhere) wondering!!

Let's see, Ferdinand spent time on the hill under the tree smelling flowers. So, yes, they have a sense of smell. (I like the answer to my question better.)

Fact! I swear I have read about this before... that it is not the color of the cape that gets the bull going because the bull is color-blind and can't discern the color. Oh, I see Chaplin said the same thing above. So unless this is a trick question, I'm going with Fact!

but how can one prove for absolute sure a bull is colorblind or not colorblind? bulls are males. some human males are colorblind. males are sometimes full of bull. therefore, a bull=man. we know a bull is full of b.s., but sometimes a man is, too... what was the question again?!
