The answer to yesterday's question was D. Sloop-of-war. The original USS Enterprise was originally a British warship(HMS George) captured by Benedict Arnold at the St. John's shipyards in Quebec, Canada 1775. So sorry Shadowman and d_sel1 you are incorrect.

My smart-ass Star Trek joke counted as an answer? Just so you know, I looked up the actual Enterprise too, hence why I said I wasn't going to answer.

D. John Hancock

Forgot this, but I am with A. Rutledge, because I thing none of the others signed it first. Process of elimination.

The answer to yesterday's question was D. John Hancock, sorry d_sel1. According to legend, Hancock signed his name largely and clearly
so that King George could read it without
his spectacles, but the story is apocryphal
and originated years later. Though it is why in the US that John Hancock is synonymous with signature. All the names that I gave for answers signed the declaration, take some time to read up on them they are some interesting people.

Try mixing mustard and southwest sauce (chipotle) and mustard (2 mustards to 1 southwest). Has a good flavor with a wicked kick. Also, put olive oil and vinagrette too, think italian dressing.

That sounds good d_sel1. The sandwich was from a place called Steel City in Erie on peach Street, they have great food!

I still hate imperial measurements (inches, foot, yard, mile) even though I'm getting better at them. Lets put it to the test:

1 mile = roughly 1.6 kilometers = roughly 1,600 meters (kilo- meaning 1,000) = roughly 160,000 centimeters (centi- meaning 1/100th).

The answer is D.

The answer to yesterday's question was C. Kelly Clarkson..... Wait what do you mean the answer was D. 160, 934.4, well the sane part of my mind says I have to follow the rules. So congratulations SW's SilverHammer, JelZe, and d_sel1 on the correct answer!
