The answer to yesterday's question was A. The Smurfs.

Today's trivia question.

What is the designation for the first stealth fighter.

A. F-117

B. F-22

C. B-2

D. F-14

A. F-117 (although if I am right, technically it is really more of a bomber. The F designation was a ruse to fool intelligence agencies. Some say that should be called the B-117)

Actually it should be the A-117, the F-117 is a ground attack aircraft like the F-111 Ardvark and the F-105 Thunderchief. None of which are fighters.

Nancy Cartwright. The Simpsons cast is something I've know ever since I was born, being from Portland Oregon n' all. Matt Groening's practically a home town hero.

I got the idea from Hellsing. The Nazi doctor was always biting his fingers and I got to wondering if that was a mental disorder.

That's actually a different, but related condition (onychophagia). Both are considered impulse control disorders, and dermatophagia has another name: wolf biting.

I'm not sure I agree. I don't think he was biting his nails, plus he mostly wore gloves. Though that means he wasn't biting his skin directly either. I'm going to have to go back and watch/read Hellsing now. I guess any excuse to watch anime :lol:

So i/we have been doing this for a while, does anyone have any suggestions? Any categories/subjects you'd like to see more often? Should we keep some kind of score? Should I put more transformers questions in? Is there enough bacon, not in the question but in general, for everyone?

No question today just a tid bit.

Today in 1938, Seabiscuit defeats War Admiral in an upset victory during a match race
deemed "the match of the century" in horse
racing.

Oops forgot to post the answer to Thursday's question Which was D. Bite their own skin, congratulations JG.
