RE: Trivial Trivia - taking trivia to new levels
Nice try, Gene.
Since no one is taking the bait, The Secret Six were six well-placed Northern abolitionists who financed John Brown's raid on Harpers Ferry. One of them was married to Julia Ward Howe, who wrote The Battle Hymn of the Republic. My hint of the bouncing red ball was referring to the music part. Remember Mitch Miller and his sing-alongs with the bouncing red ball on your television screen? Okay, maybe not... |

Do I still win since I got close?
So when is this "Old Enough To Know Better" supposed to kick in? |

Yes, go to Harpers Ferry and take a free ride down the rapids of the Potomac River on an inner tube like all the young daredevils! It really is a great historic town and very scenic.

When people of Lincoln's time spoke of "coffin varnish," what were they referring to?

If it really refered to coffins, I'd guess lead.

Being an army veteran, I sure had some coffee that was like coffin varnish.

My veteran father drank that kind of coffee too, Bill, but so far none of you have the correct answer.

Well, this is one time that I did not stump the Yankee German! Congratulations, Joseph, and I'll buy you a drink at the conference as your award.
