Thursday's QOD-week 1

#1 Post by ulysses5019 » Thu Oct 09, 2008 8:13 am

Rules are the same. Once you use a point wager you cannot use it again. I will give a point update on Saturday morning. Here is the topic tree:

Monday-TV
Tuesday-Literature
Wednesday-Music
Thursday-Geography
Friday-Entertainment


Thursday's QOD-

What parallel was first suggested as a dividing line for the Korean peninsula by Japan and Russia in 1902?



In case you don't recognize Da Vinci's masterpiece, that is the answer to yesterday's QOD, Marilyn Manson.
I believe in the usefulness of useless information.

I don't think spoilers are working yet, but I'll try anyway for form. Not that it matters because I don't think I'm right, anyway.

39th Parallel

I edited a couple times just to see if I could find a font colour close to the background to substitute as a spoiler.

I went ahead and add back the colour change back in, since others are doing it as well. I obviously didn't change my answer. Ha!

Wager: 3 points (if I haven't already used that. 5 points if I have. I'm pretty sure I remember using 1 and 7. It is 1,3,5,7 right?)

Just highlight to read. Then the color doesn't matter.

Let's see if I've got the new spoiler tag down.
Spoiler
The 48th parallel
I'll bet 5 points, because that's the wager I have left.

I've used my wagers for 7 points, 1 point, and something else...but I can't remember if it was 3 or 5 pts. Whichever one is left is how many points I am wagering today.
Spoiler
I'm not sure whether it's the 38th parallel or the 39th parallel. I will guess 38th parallel.

38th parallel. Having seen every frellin' inch of the current DMZ (Which crosses it but is not on the 38th parallel) I should know this one. I was even once a member of the 38th parallel Medical Society. Heck, for all I know I still am!

Wager: Whatever is left, 3 I think.

Dammit, I should have trusted myself on Marilyn. Now I'm stuck with 3 points left, and an answer I'm not as sure of:
Spoiler
The 38th?????
