Who is known for making one of America's first native clocks?
I vote that meisperplexed is up! Well done! Google listed Benjamin Banneker from the 1700s. It's an interesting read.
Waltham looks like it was a good try. They date back to 1854 per google
I think there is some argument about the first clock. I remember my grandpa telling me a story about it being between Banneker and a member of the six Quakers who were famous for making clocks. I couldn't remember the Quaker fellow's name and it took me forever to remember Banneker! I had to stop thinking about it and it finally popped in the old noggin.
Since it's a Duke board, I'll ask a toughie. What is the most radioactive naturally occurring element? Atomic number is 84. Symbol is Po
I like the smiley face, skysdad! It wasn't a good question. The answer is Polonium. Named for Poland, the country of birth for Marie Curie, the woman who discovered it. I'll ask a better question
Which casino is not only the largest in Las Vegas, but the largest in the World?
It's Green because it was going to have a Wizard of Oz Theme. That idea was scrapped
Not the Venetian. The casino we're looking for is at the South end of the Strip. The Venetian is at the North end
skysdad, good answer. I wrote my question while making dinner and watching the NFL, and didn't research it well enough. The site I used said MGM GRAND. But when I look now, I see different answers. Bellagio is among the biggest, so Boogieman is up. The biggest casinos in the world are actually in Macau, China. I apologise to meisperplexed. Venetian in Las Vegas is among the biggest, and the biggest in the world is Venetian Macau.
I didn't see meisperplexed later answer of MGM Grand. Sorry. BOOGIEMAN 1914 is up!
