Here the ground rules....

1. Winner must complete all questions correctly
2. Winner should not be a professional detailer...this is to help us little people! Sorry!
3. The first poster with the correct answers wins.


Questions:
1. Why do paratroopers yell Geronimo?
2. Who designed the first parachute?
3. What is the name of FDR's dog?
4. Who had the first patent for the automobile?
5. Where was the first basketball game played?
6. Where are the Harlem Globetrotters from?
7. In the 1920's who was a "bimbo?"
8. How many Americans died in the dropping of the A-Bomb on Hiroshima?
9. Who was the first woman in space?
10. Why is the AK-47 named as such?


Have fun!
