Trivia - September 2007

Does anyone know who gave the order to stop building the great wall. It took over 18 centuries to build. Why would anyone stop?

And please don't tell me because they finished or because a chinese guys said they should stop.

Thanks for answering

How come they make things for right handed people but not left handed people? you know like notebooks the spiral is on the left. And its hard to write. Or like the mouse for your computer. Is there really not that many left handed people? I've heard people say that lefties are smarter than righties? Is that true?

Wrong board I know, but its not letting me choose the category I want for this for some reason, but maybe one of you will know anyway :)

I have a Fossil watch...around the faceplate is a ring with 5, 10, 15, 20 min etc marks around it. It spins clockwise and clicks when you rotate it, but not counterclockwise.

What is this for? I cant imagine a practical reason for being able to rotate the minutes around....is it a way to wind the watch? It was a present, so I dont know if its mechanical or battery powered, but I've had it for years and never had it stop on me. I just cant figure out why it does it.

If you leave the letters in the same order, but rearrange the spaces in the phrase, "Them eats on," it can be read as, "Theme at son."

In the early days of radio, an antacid was advertised
by voices imitating the rhythm of a locomotive as they
chanted its name.
Can you name it?

The first person to answer the question thought it was.
Here is the question again:
A group that established tthemselves in '65, released
their first hit the following year. The song wasn't boring
to listen to, obviously. (But, its title could've suggested
that it was.)
A gauranteed 10 extra points to the very 1st person to
name not only the song, but also the name of the group
when it was released... and the group's original name!

No extra clues here, people. But, good luck!
