Subject: Dumb trivia because I am bored.

      1)  Where did the California gold rush start and in what year?

	  I believe, and most of the answers backed me up, that it
	  started in 1848 in Sutter's Mill, New Jersey.  
	  Er...California.

      2)  How many calanders do you need to have a 'perpetual' calander?
	  (Ie: For all eternity you would need no more than X calanders
	  to represent whatever year you may be in.)

	  14.  A month can start on any of seven days, and double that 
	       to account for leap years.  (One person said 28.  28??)

      3)  What were the first words ever spoken on a telephone 
	  (exactly) and who said them?

	  Again, most people agreed with me that the phrase was,
	  "Watson, come here. I need you."  Said by A. G. Bell.
	  Not 'want' as some thought.

      4)  (For psychics only:)                         ?

	   42.

Ok!  That was fun.  I see this node is really getting trivial.
