Trivia XXII

Posted on July 25, 2009 by Zelda

Here is what we DO know!
You could start buying beer in cans in – 1935!
The three colors of blood are – red, blue, and yellow!
The most popular sheet music of all time is – Yes, we have no bananas today!
Utah says the Great Salt Lake is – 33 feet deep. (My book said 13. >.> I am not about to argue with a STATE.)

Still don’t know….
What do you call the symbol created by pressing #?

Here is your new question!
“How long did it take to build the Great Wall of China?”

    If the answer to the # question is “octothorp” I’m going to burn that book because I had to jump through about 10 links to get to this page that says it’s not even in the dictionary!

    Okay, according to thegreatwall.com.cn it lasted from 770BC to 1911…which would be 2681 years?

    If that’s wrong, I give up. LOL.

    Eight fields around a central square?!?! That doesn’t make any sense! (sorry, I had to get it off my chest)

  15. Poe says:

    Why doesn’t it make sense? XD
    Also – I will not argue with China. (My book says 1700 years… )

    Because it’s not a good way to name something. You wouldn’t use the negative space around the object to define it. You would use the object itself. But that’s just how I would do it.

    I suppose the fact that it’s not even in the Oxford dictionary explains a lot.

    ^^^ My point exactly! Hahahaha!
