I figured this out right away, but I thought it might have been an incomplete list. I've bought these Scooby Doo graham cracker sticks before but it seems I was incorrect and they do not actually market them as Scooby Snacks.BigDaddyMatty wrote:Today's Ken Jennings Tuesday Trivia featured the following question, which I found incredibly well-written.

I noticed just now when catching up on my Sploofus TQOTD that the TQOTD leaderboard currently shows 6 boardies in the top 10. WTG, jboard!

I had an amazing March on sploofus - I had a chance to win the month missing only one question. Then I missed March 31st. Argh. 6th place.

Still trying to capture the euphoria of my 12th place finish in July, 2015 (but I think being fresh off a J! audition might've had something to do with it)

I know we have a lot of Geography aficionados on here, and I thought this map of every county in the U.S. made out of wood was not only beautiful, but an impressive accomplishment as well:

Maybe it's because I know where to look, but it's also dark wood around a lot of lighter shades.

Re: Reretaken Down
Anyone else see the story of the Russian planes buzzing the American destroyer off the coast of Kaliningrad?
http://www.cbsnews.com/news/russia-deni ... nald-cook/
Does this sentence bug anyone else?
"On Monday, the Cook was preparing to conduct helicopter flight operations in the Baltic Sea, in international water 70 miles off the coast of the Russian enclave of Kaliningrad."
Only those of you who have spent too much time studying geography will be annoyed by this statement, but I know that's plenty of people who might read this!

Re: Reretaken Down
Any lawyers here that can give a little bit of free advice?
Here's the situation in a nutshell:
AT&T took my cell number and assigned it to somebody else. I had had this number for 12 years before porting it to AT&T, and many of you here have used it. They are willing to extend my service if I simply take a new number, but they are refusing to give me my number (or my money) back. I have no service until such time as I choose to have them assign me a number. I have prepaid for 1 year of service.
My thoughts:
If they have the right to, at any time, without warning or reason, take my number from me, they must also have the right to take it back from whomever they have assigned it to. But I need to know what my rights are in this situation (as a non-resident / non-citizen of the US, if that's relevant).
Anyway, I am thinking of flooding the number with calls for me. Anybody else want to help? Maybe if the new owner gets hundreds (or thousands) of calls, he might contact AT&T and see if he can get a new number.
If you are so inclined (and your package allows for free calls to Niagara Falls NY) please call (716) xxx-xxxx and ask for Brian.
