See if there is interest for this.
1. Each day I will post 10 questions, at random times of the day.
2. Each Quiz runs exactly 24 hours.
3. The first person that has all 10 questions right, wins. Or if no one has all questions right, the best one wins.
4. You can only post answers ONCE for the same quiz.
5. No cash involved. Just glory. :)

Incidentally, most of my kids don't even know there WAS a President Chester Arthur (or Arthur Chester, for that matter *wink*). They tend to think I'm talking about someone's Great-Uncle or another... *sigh*

Okay, since we're off to a new year, let's see what you guys know about new things, and the people who came up with them. You might be surprised at how much you do (or don't) know....
Who in the World Made That (And When)??
See if you can give the inventor's (or inventors') name(s) to the following creations, and the year they came up with them (decade and/or century will do for the older ones).
The Freebies
1. Airplane
2. Sandwich
3. Printing Press
The Fairly Easy Ones
4. Radio
5. Machine Gun
6. Cotton Gin
The Slightly Harder Ones
7. Toothpaste
8. Mercury Thermometer
9. Frozen Food
The Not-Who-You-Think-It-Is Ones
10. Blue Jeans
11. Zipper
12. Teddy Bear
The Gimme-An-Encyclopedia Ones
13. Scrabble
14. Computer Mouse
15. Spinning Jenny
Now that your head's spinning, here's the bonus stuff:
BONUS:
1. What exactly IS a spinning Jenny? (and no, it's not your cousin Jenny after one too many margaritas. try again. ;-)
2. We all know that Leonardo da Vinci came up with the concept for the Submarine. (Well, some of us do, if we didn't sleep through history class. *wink*) But who was the first person to actually BUILD and OPERATE one?
3. Why, one day, will we all be thanking James Auger and Jimmy Loizeau the next time we step into a restaurant, movie theater, or dentist's office (or, perhaps not)?
