Kidding Around

You Were an Intuitive Kid

As a kid, your power element was water. You were a very balanced and intuitive kid. You were probably always more emotionally mature than the children around you. You may have found it easier to relate to adults than most kids. And while it may have been hard for you to relate to the kids around you, it's likely you had a very close friend or two. Deep connections were important to you from an early age, and you were the type most able to form a 'BFF' bond with someone. As a kid, you saw things in the abstract. You did best when you were able to daydream, play, create, and engage your imagination. You probably found it challenging to sit still in a structure classroom. You may not have made trouble, but your mind was likely elsewhere.

What Type of Kid Were You?

I Like to Watch Women Fight

With pillows while scantily dressed or maybe wrestling in mud.

This? A little scary.

Mr. October

Reggie Jackson hit a record three consecutive home runs in a World Series game, all on the first pitch thrown to him by three different pitchers. His post-season exploits earned him the nickname of "Mr. October".

Symphony No.47 in G Major-Haydn

Also known as the "Palindrome Symphony" because the third movement is the musical equivalent of a palindrome - it's the same played forward and backward.

White House Yard Sale

In 1882, Chester A. Arthur, the 21st President of the United States, raised money to redecorate the White House by auctioning off presidential artifacts. The items included 24 wagon loads of furniture, 30 barrels of china and a pair of Abraham Lincoln's trousers.

Two For One, None For All

The 1997 blockbuster Titanic was the first movie to have two performers nominated for Oscars for their portrayals of the same character; Kate Winslet was nominated for Best Actress as young Rose and Gloria Stuart was nominated for Best Supporting Actress in the old Rose role. (both lost)

The same two performance/same character situation happened again a few years later with the 2001 film Iris and again Winslet was involved. She was nominated for Best Supporting Actress in the younger title role while Judi Dench was nominated for Best Actress as the older Iris. (both lost)
