Trivia...

Well since we are talkin bout presidents, which president am I?

I raised 11 children........none of them my own.
My pet parrot "Poll" screamed cuss words throughout my funeral.
I was a lawyer by trade.

I'll give more hints later IF no one has a correct answer!

If you would have said "I was a liar by trade" instead of "I was a lawyer by trade". I would have guessed George W. Bush, but I don't think they had 11 rats, he may have lied about that as well though. The parrot would have been smart, and should have been rewarded with a lifetime of crackers but George has not passed. (which I do not wish that on anyone)

France delayed money that it had agreed by treaty to pay the US, I ordered the US Navy to prepare for war & urged Congress to seize French property in the US which made the French furious. Britain mediated the dispute & a peaceful settlement was reached.

Andrew Jackson is the correct answer! You win a cookie! Did you go to college with Tee??

Here is an easy and interesting question. How did the term Gringo originate?

 

[Mighty AP]

Thats a great question. I bet it originated in Texas............wheres TEXAStee when we need her?? I bet she knows the answer!

Motor oil

Nope, try again...

 

[Mighty AP]

Royal purple is blue........no? Although motor oil was my second guess.........

 

[ivan salis]

"royal purple" in in fact "TRYIAN "PURPLE" --its a color of cloth dye made from sea snails of a certain type . --SO RARE AND COSTLY THAT ONLY THE ROYALS COULD WEAR IT -- LATER IT WAS MADE LAW THAT ONLY THEY COULD WEAR IT (PURPLE )CLOTHING AS A "BADGE" OF ROYALTY
