What are the only two days of the year when no major sporting games are played (NHL, NBA, MLB, NFL)? Eight cubes: Weigh any three against any three. If one side is lighter, proceed the same as with six cubes since the light one is among the six being weighed. If both sets of three are equal weight, then just weigh the last two. One of them is the light one. No major sporting games played the day before and the day after the MLB All-Star game, and the day after Thanksgiving. That makes three days each year.HAMMER: Originally employed as a weapon of war, the hammer nowadays is used as a kind of divining rod to locate the most expensive parts adjacent the object we are trying to hit.

Tuna-Salad 0 #162 December 31, 2008 American railroads were built by British expatriates, so they laid the rails the same gauge as those of British railroads. The British decided that gauge because the wheels on the coaches were built on the same jigs as the wheels on horse drawn carriages. That gauge was decided so that carriage wheels would fit in the ruts of many of the dirt roads of Europe. Those roads were originally built by the ancient Romans, who decided that width because it would be convenient for their chariots. I did not write this, but google is a wonderful thing. A tuna will have swum 1 million miles by age 15. The owners of SeaDoo watercraft also make what popular business jet? Extra credit... Which company owns SeaDoo and the aircraft in question?Millions of my potential children died on your daughters' face last night. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
