sorry, no one ever said it was right when I posted my response...

If any one's interested, I still have a trivial question.

RMS Gigantic · « **Reply #728 on:** March 14, 2008, 15:03:56 »

wait... it's been more than 2 hours since the last question, huh?

then here goes!

If the Titanic was carrying her full passenger capacity, and all of her life boats were launched fully loaded, how many people would be left on the ship?

Hint: ship capacity-life boat capacity=answer

What is the name of this channel up ahead, and why is it called so..?

saltydog · « **Reply #730 on:** March 15, 2008, 14:12:31 »

It's Buttermilk Channel in New York harbour
In olden days the channel would sometimes fall dry and farmers could bring their cows across..
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buttermilk_Channel
I guess by the time they got there the cows milk would have turned into buttermilk..

New question, anyone...?

trains · « **Reply #738 on:** March 16, 2008, 18:44:02 »

this is one of the greatest topics i've seen. here's an easy one. the Lusitania was sunk by what?

saltydog · « **Reply #739 on:** March 16, 2008, 18:51:56 »

Sorry trains, it's Marc's turn...( he's got 2 hours, then it's anyone to post a new question

trains · « **Reply #740 on:** March 16, 2008, 18:54:27 »

the Lusitania was sunk by what?

Well.. that's up for debate..

She was hit by a torpedo. Shortly after that, a second explosion occured.That second explosion caused her to sink.

The torpedo is believed to have either set off some of the ammunition that she was carrying, or to have set of a cole dust explosion when it hit one of the coalbunkers, or to have caused an explosion in the steam generating plant. The last one is the most plausible, according to the most recent research.

Indirectly though, it was still the torpedo that caused that second explosion. And without the second explosion, she would have probably sunk too

But anyway, it wasn't your turn.. As you know.. hehe

Fred

saltydog · « **Reply #743 on:** March 16, 2008, 18:57:40 »

Let's just hope Marc doesn't wake up soon..., it's still his turn..

trains · « **Reply #744 on:** March 16, 2008, 18:58:59 »

i know Fred. not what i was looking for though.

Mad_Fred · « **Reply #745 on:** March 16, 2008, 18:59:58 »

You were looking for the wrong answer then? I'm puzzled..

Oh wait.. you mean.. a U-boot.. right?

trains · « **Reply #746 on:** March 16, 2008, 19:03:21 »

yup. a German U-boot. something had to fire the torpedo

Mad_Fred · « **Reply #747 on:** March 16, 2008, 19:20:55 »

Yeah, obviously..

And to complete this one.. it was the U-20.
