My favorite flavor is QuarterBack Crunch. But I fondly remember Here Comes the Fudge.

I'll say Fact.

Happy Hump Day, FoCers! Well, technically, it's past Hump Day now, but what the heck. :-) I just finished editing a transcript that arrived late, so here I am with an answer and new question for you.

The one on deck is. . .

Did Baskin-Robbins stock a flavor called Beatle Nut in the 1960s?

Prisonerno6, this is for you:
br

ALL of you said this is a FACT. Here's what the Calendar Crooners have to say:

It's FACT! "Baskin-Robbins introduced the flavor on February 7, 1964, the day that The Beatles arrived at New York's Kennedy Airport for their first appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show. The Beatle Nut flavor consisted of pistachio ice cream with chocolate ribbons and walnuts."

Oh, good grief! Now I want ice cream!!!

Oh, as for the Jeopardy questions, I can only surmise that the writing staff has one of these handy calendars! LOL And I totally agree that the cathedral one should say "Gothic-style," but then I'm not writing this silly thing. :-)

Okay, here's a new one for you:

Sir James Dewar invented Scotch in the 1400s.

FACT or CRAP? You decide!

Thanks, Max! That's a riot!

Crap on Sir James. While I"m sure Scotch has been around since the 1400's (I don't know if anyone can "invent" Scotch -- it's just whiskey distilled in Scotland), Sir James was a 19th century scientist who invented the Dewar flask.

Scotch is CRAP. Now, point us in the direction of the Jack Daniel's distillery and you will make konashark a happy man.

i think he invented the hangover. "dewar you will, your day after a big night out will still suck".

but i'll say fact because maybe it wasn't exactly the same alcohol or wasn't called 'scotch' before he perfected it. or maybe he just threw the first frat party and no one could remember what they drank, just whose house they'd been at, so when the police arrested them for public intoxication and driving daddy's carriage--without permission and while under the influence--they had someone to put the blame on.

Well I think they had scotch at the first Thanksgiving so it may as well have been Sir whats his name who invented it. How do you think he became a sir. So the answer is fact.

It's crap

Scotch was invented the first time someone's medicine cabinet fell and all the things inside broke and mixed together.

Well, you FoCers, I'm sleepy (again), so this will be a short one. :-) Had a nice dinner with a friend tonight (Thai food - peanut sauce - YUMMY!) and then had to do some transcription that another person backed out on at the last minute. YAWN!!! :-)

Okay, question on tap is:

Did Sir James Dewar invent Scotch in the 1400s?

You said:
Fact 3
Crap 10


Ahh, the taste of a good libation? Care for a swig?
Dewars
Jack
crown <--My personal favorite. :-)

Well, the Calendar Chuggers have this to say:

It's crap
"Dewar was a chemist and physicist at Oxford University who invented cordite (smokeless gunpowder) and, in 1894, the Dewar's flask, a double-walled bottle with a vacuum between the glass shells. It kept hot liquids warm and cold liquids cool. Two German glassblowers began making the flasks for commercial use, holding a contest to name the bottles. The winning name was "Thermos," derived from 'therme,' the Greek word for heat."


Hmmm. I guess I'll have to resort to Google if I want to find out how THIS Dewar ties in with the Dewars behind the bottle of Scotch. :-)

Okay, onward to a new question and then bed for me!

The human body has 57 sweat glands.

FACT or CRAP? You decide!

OK... hehehe... I cheated and looked it up in the real Gray's Anatomy. Seriously, this was a fact that fascinated me!

And I'll say just this... CRAP times 40,000!!

I found this really interesting: "The number varies. They are very plentiful on the palms of the hands, and on the soles of the feet, where the orifices of the ducts are exceedingly regular, and open on the curved ridges; they are least numerous in the neck and back. On the palm there are about 370 per square centimeter; on the back of the hand about 200; forehead 175, breast, abdomen and forearm 155, and on the leg and back from 60 to 80 per square centimeter. Krause estimates the total number at about 2,000,000." And that the number varies according to race.

37 types of sweat glands or total number of all sweat glands in the body?

I'll say FACT, because I think this is a trick question.

So has anyone ever had a defective sweat gland, let me tell you they are no fun what so ever. I won't go into too much detail but I have a problem with several of mine, the nerves are growing outward instead of inward and they are extremely painfull and there isn't a dang thing I can do to get rid of them.
