Hello Biggies and Loyal Players of the Big Trivia Show.
I know it’s late, but it’s not THAT late. I really hope all the BTS moms were well taken care of on Sunday. As for me, I treated Mrs. Steadman to a night at the Portofino Hotel and dinner at Jimmy Buffets at Universal Orlando and then I really gave her what she wanted…a chance to take a long nap and take a break from me and my daughter . Ahhhh paradise! Am I a great husband or what?
Now, here are some Mother’s Day Factoids that you may not know.
Enjoy and Happy Mother’s Day!!
Let’s Get Biblical:
Eve is credited with being the "Mother of All the Living."
Isn’t it Ironic?
Anna Jarvis of Philadelphia who is credited with officially starting Mother's Day celebrations also filed a lawsuit in an effort to stop the over- commercialization of Mother's Day.
Strange and Creepy Facts:
Elvis Presley, was a mama's boy. He slept in the same bed with his mother, Gladys, until he reached puberty. Up until Elvis entered high school, she walked him back and forth to school every day and made him take along his own silverware so that he wouldn't catch germs from the other kids. Gladys forbade young Elvis from going swimming or doing anything that might put him in danger. The two of them also conversed in a strange baby talk that only they could understand.
And, Eric Clapton was born to an unwed mother and to shield him from the shame, Eric grew up believing that his grandparents were his parents and his mother was his sister. Weird!
Cannonball!!
A mother giraffe often gives birth while standing, so the new born's first
experience outside the womb is a 1.8-meter (6-foot) drop.
Shortest Interval Between Two Children
Jayne Bleackley is the mother who holds the record for the shortest interval between two children born in separate confinements. She gave birth to Joseph Robert on September 3, 1999, and Annie Jessica Joyce on March 30, 2000. The babies were born 208 days apart.
Longest Interval Between Two Children
Elizabeth Ann Buttle is the mother who holds the record for the longest interval between the birth of two children. She gave birth to Belinda on May 19,1956 and Joseph on November 20, 1997. The babies were born 41 years 185 days apart. The mother was 60 years old when her son Joseph was born.
And finally…
A Rose By Any Other Name Would Be a...Carnation!
A Carnation is the flower associated with Mother’s Day. Red carnations for moms who are still living, and white carnations for mothers that have passed away.
For the record, I bought my mother Tulips on Friday and they were dead by Sunday. Stupid 1-800-Flowers!!! (Actually, they are replacing them for free so they’re actually pretty cool).
Hope your Mother’s Day was a great one!
Just a reminder, because I have added the chance to gain 10 additional points to the game, I have decided to have the Five Word Phraze that Payz, as well as, any other additional points count for the Three Round Game only!
Now its time for our BTS Team of the Week.
This week’s winners hail from the Gators Dockside Show in lake Mary, which was a madhouse last Wednesday as I felt that I was competing with the Orlando Magic almost as much as the Celtics did. We got through it and so did our Team of the Week. Well, that is what Hall of Famer’s do right? They did well on the BTS Picture Quiz and that helped them capture game one. They ran away and hid with a BTS high 74 points and took game 2 as well. The Magic may have lost, but not these guys (and girls). Plus, they brought two new members to the fun! That’s always a good thing!
Congratulations to our BTS Team of the Week….....Black Power Fist
