Legion World Forums LEGION COMPANION Spaceopoly Name Three

This is the reverse of the Triad thread. Thanks to Matthew E for the idea.

The first poster (that'll be me) gives a catagory. The next poster has to fill in three examples. The answering poster does not have to have the same examples as the questioning poster, but should be able to show how the example fits the catagory if questioned. Then the answering poster gets to post the next catagory. The poster who starts the catagory has to be able to provide the three examples if everyone else gets stuck. (so no trying to stump people with an impossible catagory)

First Catagory:

Name three situation comedies in which a new child is introduced after a couple of seasons.

Well, I'm stretching the 'couple' of seasons, but...

- 'The Cosby Show', where Raven-Symone was added after a few years
- 'Family Ties', where they had another son named Andrew after a few years
- 'Diff'rent Strokes', where Danny Cooksey (as the son of what's-her-name from 'Designing Women') joined after a few years

Name three situation comedies (I know this isn't the all-sitcom thread, but the previous question reminded me of it), all starring the same actor, in which the actor's first name is the same as the character's first name in all three sitcoms. (I actually know of multiple correct ways to answer this question.)

Matthew,

You didn't stretch the "couple" of seasons qualifier. You actually got 2 of the shows I was thinking of. The third one I thought of was the Brady Bunch which introduced the infamous cousin Oliver.

As for your question, I did use the IMDB to Get the names of the series and see if I was right for the number.

One answer would be:
1) Mary Tyler Moore Show as Mary Richards
2) Mary Tyler Moore Hour as Mary McKinnon
3) Mary as Mary Brenner

NEXT: Name three things named after a Norse god (or goddess)

I would have used Bob Newhart for Matt's question, but Mary works too.

Norse, eh? I'll take the easy ones.

1.Friday from Frey
2.Wednesday from Wotan/Odin
3.Thursday from Thor

NEXT: Name three cities that have hosted (or are slated to host) the Olympics twice - but not three times.

Los Angeles - 1932 and 1984
Paris - 1900 and 1924
Helsinki - slated to in 1940, actual in 1952.

Name three mountains that are the highest on their respective continents.

Mount Everest in Asia
Denali (aka Mount McKinley) in North America
Kilimanjaro in Africa

Name three three US presidents who have served in political office after their presidency.

(By the way, I had Tony Danza in mind for the sitcom one. Has he *ever* played anybody not named 'Tony'?)

John Quincy Adams (House)
Andrew Johnson (Senate)
William Howard Taft (Chief Justice)

Next:

Name three Hanna-Barbera cartoon series depicting a family living in a time other than the present.

The Jetsons
The Flintstones
The Roman Holidays

Next Name Three FEMALE Sidekicks from the Golden Age (1940's)

Etta Candy (if Doiby Dickles was a sidekick, she was a sidekick)
Dian Belmont (I think she qualifies)
Merry, Girl of 1001 Gimmicks

Name three Legionnaires, by birth name, who have gone by four or more superhero codenames (one Legionnaire has gone by seven).

Ayla Ranzz (Lightning Lass/Light Lass/Gossamer/Spark)
Lar Gand (Mon-El/Valor/M'Onel/Marvel Lad)
Tinya Wazzo (Phantom Girl/Phase/Apparition/Phantom Woman)

Next:
Name three cities that were built specifically to be national capitals.

Washington, DC (USA)
Canberra (Australia)
Brasilia (Brazil)


NEXT:

Name the three wives of Tom Cruise

1) Mimi Rogers
2) Nicole Kidman
3) Katie Holmes

Except I don't know fi he and Holmes are actually married yet. He was also engaged to Penelope Cruz but never actually got hitched.

Next name three songs by Rufus Wainwright featured in films or on movie soundtracks.

Bevis,

It looks like you stumped us. Want to ask a new one?

Isn't Bevis on a long vacation? Maybe someone else should take the ball? I'll go ahead - if Bevis comes back soon I will apologise profusely. (I'm used to it - I'm married.)

Name 3 world chess champions.

OOC: Is it okay to look these up, or do you actually have to know this info? Won't answer until I get a ruling.

You can look them up, Seth. This game would never go anywhere if you couldn't do research.

Bobby Fischer
Gary Kasparov
Anatoly Karpov

Name three countries that have been created in the 21st century.

Namibia: March 21, 1990
Lithuania: September 1991
Eritrea: May 25, 1993


find three new animals discovered in the last few years and their locations.

The 1990's are not part of the 21st century

Ravenette, think I have an answer (though probably not the one you're looking for?)

A possible new genus of cricket, with working pincers on its hind end.
A new species of millipede.
The first species of barklouse discovered in North America (as they're normally in South America).

All the above are from caves in the Grand Canyon-Parashant National Monument, on the Utah-Arizona border. (They actually found 4 more species of cricket and another millipede species, but I figured one representative each.)

well poo I did try but i'll make it better:

Montenegro June 2006
Yugoslavia became Serbia and Montenegro 2003
East Timor 2002


PS: bugs=Insects not animals

Cose enough for me, Ravenette...I was thinking of Serbia this past June having also split out of the Serbia-Montenegro union. But that's fine.

I think we are stumped for the 3 new animals.

That's the problem... most of the new discoveries that I'd been able to find are for insects or other arthropods. Oh well...
