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.

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.

Today's trivia question.

For how many films did Roger Moore play James Bond?

A. Seven

B. Nine

C. One millllllion dollars

D. Five

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.

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. :)
