I vote that meisperplexed is up! Well done! Google listed Benjamin Banneker from the 1700s. It's an interesting read.

 

[geddoughton23]

Waltham looks like it was a good try. They date back to 1854 per google

 

[meisperplexed]

I vote that meisperplexed is up! Well done! Google listed Benjamin Banneker from the 1700s. It's an interesting read.

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.

Who is credited as the first to discover Saturn's neato rings?

[meisperplexed]

Galileo?

That's correct! You're up.

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

 

[skysdad]

Potasium oxide. OFC

 

[geddoughton23]

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

 

[geddoughton23]

Which casino is not only the largest in Las Vegas, but the largest in the World?

 

[geddoughton23]

It's Green because it was going to have a Wizard of Oz Theme. That idea was scrapped

 

[meisperplexed]

The Venetian?

 

[geddoughton23]

Not the Venetian. The casino we're looking for is at the South end of the Strip. The Venetian is at the North end

 

[BOOGIEMAN1914]

bellegio?

 

[meisperplexed]

I've never been to Vegas. The only other casino I can think of is MGM Grand.

 

[skysdad]

Caesars Palace. That's the only one I know. OFC

 

[geddoughton23]

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.

 

[geddoughton23]

I didn't see meisperplexed later answer of MGM Grand. Sorry. BOOGIEMAN 1914 is up!
