Think you wife isn't smart?

Actually no one is buried in Grants Tomb. Grant and his wife are entombed there, not buried. :wink:

A driver is assigned to average 60mph over 2 laps of a track. Each lap is 1 mile. On his first lap, he averages 30 mph. What speed must he average on his second lap to achieve an overall average of 60mph?

Infinity MPH.

90MPH'S

You westerners are pretty clever...

[Might be time to ask them who's buried in Grant's tomb

Why Hugh Grant's career of course. :laugh:

Quoting myself being quoted, it turns out the answer is no one! Why? Because Grant's tomb is a mausoleum (North America's largest, 150 feet high), which means that the bodies are contained above ground. In order to be buried, you have to rest underneath Mother Earth herself. So, nobody's buried in Grant's Tomb. Now, in that mausoleum are the bodies of Ulysses S. Grant (1822–1885) and his wife, Julia Dent Grant (1826–1902).

And I didn't know it until I looked it up.
Evidently, it's the largest such monument in New York City.

The only thing more irritating than "Boink"'s spinning thing,
is that is posted EVERYWHERE on the internet.
Enough,already.

Now <span style="text-decoration: underline">I'M</span> curious...where is it all over the internet? It's an HTML code (for a graphic that I created many years ago) that gets merely pulled up with my posts (just like those that have a still photo in their signature). Of course that means where-ever my sig is it will appear (or is it just that you only do the internet on this site)?

Get ready... here it comes again! :laugh:

Sorry,but that video has been posted on every website that
I visit,as well as on my home page.
I must be getting old,as these "moving things" on people's
post distract & irritate me.
If I've offended you,I apologize - I just want to read the
posts,without distractions.

Yeah but it's been here for four days. That's like 20 billion light years in internet time.

Na, just take a deep breath and relax....or better yet, go hide in the walk in cooler at work and do some "quality sampling". :laugh:

You're a good man Dougie boy, don't you ever forget it. :wink:

 

[AngliaGT]

Like at the local fire department - if I think I'm
too full of myself,someone will remind me that I'm not that good.

Doug, if you use Firefox browser, install an add-on called "AdBlock Plus". You can then block any images on any page that you like. I use it to block a lot of things that I feel either clutter up the screen, or add to already slow load times. On many sites I visit on my laptop I block all of the header images because A) I already know what site I'm on, B) it just makes the page load slower, C) it takes up valuable screen space on an already small screen and D) my co-workers won't know I'm not actually working. :wink:

 

[DNK]

... D) my co-workers won't know I'm not actually working. :wink:

The crux of the answer!

Although I was going to glibly suggest some dramamine, :laugh: (just kiddin') now you've got me wondering if this very small animated GIF (that I created years ago - and brought into my posts as HTML code from my on-line storage) is out there beyond this forum. Even your home-page? I wonder if something odd is going on. What do you mean by "home page?"

I don't mean to distract, Doug. Don't mean to annoy either. Perhaps I should come up with another tag image.

So, now you have me wondering, which of his body parts are buried at Grant Park (Chicago's back yard)? Maybe there is a kidney beneath Buckingham Fountain.
