True or false?

I'm bored, I dug out a desk calendar that has a "which choice is true and which choice is not."

First question:

True or False?

DC Comics superhero Wonder Woman was originally written as Wonder Man, but the character was deemed too similar to Superman to be a commercial success.

I'll take a guess. I think it's false. My reasoning is that I'm totally guessing and have a 50/50 shot.

Re: True or false?

Bingo! You are correct sir. That was a false statement, Wonder Woman was always Wonder Woman. (Which is good, 'cause like...now I can continue to wear my WW Underoos...or something lame like that.) (This hosting of a thread is alot harder then it looks. You gotta be witty or something)

Next True or False:


After protests from mental-health groups, Vermont Teddy Bear discontinued its "Crazy for you" Bear, which came wrapped in a straightjacket and with commitment papers?

Re: True or false?

That sounds just stupid and mind-numbingly non-PC reactionary enough to be true.

False. Eisenhower's dog's name was Heidi. Why I know that is beyond me.

Re: True or false?

Ummm...hmmm, I'm probably wrong, but I'll say false as I would think Nintendo would stand to make a good bit o' money from a Duck Hunt sequel.

Re: True or false?

You are correct Sir Midas. Apparently this was false, and this was Duck Hunt as released on Wii



The score so far,

Midas: 2
New Ro: 2
Thundervamp9: 1


OK, here's a Super Bowl question for ya:

True or False:

The St. Louis Rams' improbable 1999 Super Bowl run surprised almost everybody, but not Warren Buffett. Before the season, Buffett bed $20,000 (at 75-to-1 odds) that the Rams would win the title, netting a cool $1.5 million.

The only guess I'm gonna take on this one is that Buffett is one kinky mofo.

Re: True or false?

I dunno, perhaps Warren Buffet is a kinky mofo, although it hasn't been confirmed (at least publicly.)


The St. Louis Rams' bet was false. So you are correct-o-mundo NewRo.



True or False?

Believe it or not, one of the hottest toys of the 1965 holiday season was a broom made by Amsco.
