From my coworker Michelle:
Did you know that …
A group of apes is called a shrewdness; hummingbirds are a charm; blue jays are a scold; jellyfish are a smack; cobras are a quiver; crows are a murder; parrots are a company; nightingales are a watch; mice are a mischief; crocodiles are a congregation; owls are a parliament; (and my personal favorite) lizards are a lounge.
Just in case you get a chance to be on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire, you will know those answers.
i will never memorize these… you will be my phone a friend.. how’s that?
Question for Jordan, for 1,000,000:
“Jordan, Early in the 20th century, what bridge collapsed once, was rebuilt, and collapsed again nine years and 13 days after the first collapse?”
Jordan: ok, what are my choices?
“I was getting to that…. ok, was it,
a. the tappan zee bridge
b. the brooklyn bridge
c. the quebec bridge
d. the golden gate bridge”
Jordan: good Lord. I’m not sure. But what I AM SURE of, is that a pack of crocodiles are a congregation! oh oh..and a bunch of parrots are a company! and lots of mice, they’re called a mis…
“Jordan. That’s quite enough. Answer the f’ing question”
Jordan: testy! fine.. it was the Quebec bridge…
hahahahaha I’m so a millionaire.
so that’s why they call it the lizard lounge!!!!!
I thought it was the Lounge Lizard.
I was in Quebec! I think it was in ’99.
I don’t know anything about lizards or bridges so I want to be a lifeline when it comes to sex or music. Or maybe an xray question….K?
i.e at what speed do xrays travel?
i.e who sang All My Exes Live in Texas
i.e what is a donkey punch?
What happens when you x-ray a country singer as (s)he’s being donkey-punched?
You get Flat Coke and Flies!!!
now we know where the name comes from. haha.
