1. 15th President of the United States

Or was he the 16th?

[Boojatta]

2. After whom was President Lincoln named?

Presumably his surname came from his father, but what about his given name?

3. I don't know, but I'll ask him next time I see him. n/t

[John Gauger]

4. 16th nt

5. He's in the murky distance and too far away to get much of a picture of.

So I voted that we just can't gather enough information to determine.

Good poll, Boojatta. Abraham is one of the interesting folks on the way-back shelf, no question.

"I would rock my soul in the bosom of Abraham
I would hold my mind in his saving grave
I would walk all the way from Boulder to Birmingham
If I thought I could see, if I could see your face..."

phonetically very much.

9. Thank you for that link. If there are some younger DUers who have not

heard that, I hope they click your link and lend their ears.

It's a fine, fine thing, that song.

Someone shared her special music with me this morning, and it lightened my load.

on the Smothers Brothers show much less.

12. Wow!

That's the best one! :cry: Were you on the planet for that era?

[Goblinmonger]

18. I am from that era

though very young. I remember watching The Smothers Brothers even though my (very conservative) mom told me not to.

[Why Syzygy]

19. Sweet rebellion

:P I was the same. A sign of curiosity, I like to think.

Those scandalous Smothers Brothers!! :rofl:
I was just starting high school. As for the song, I still have a memory of hearing it on the radio in my Studebaker even two years later. And wondering, where are the good guys?

[Goblinmonger]

20. I am a little younger than you.

I was born in 1966. I thought the Ruth Buzzy skits were frickin' hilarious.

17. A blast from the past. Thank you.

[Occam Bandage]

13. a bullfrog. He was a good friend of mine.

[cosmik debris]

14. I believe that was Jeremiah n/t

[Occam Bandage]

15. He was a bullfrog, too. Little known fact, actually:

due to recently discovered transcription errors in the Old Testament, theologians now believe that the Prophets were actually all amphibian.
