Thanks for noticing, been a crazy month. Trying to limit my time on here. Being pulled in too many directions and not much spare or free time right now. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rico Posted March 1, 2023 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2023 Stumbled across this one. Wilt Chamberlin was the 1st NBA player to score 3,000 points in a season. In what city and arena did he score his 3,000th point? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IUFLA Posted March 1, 2023 Report Share Posted March 1, 2023 Wild ass guess, but putting where you live together with the question, Fort Wayne? War Memorial Coliseium? I don't think the Pistons were in Detroit at that point... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drroogh Posted July 31, 2023 Report Share Posted July 31, 2023 Saw this in FB! GREAT SEA STORY (Trivia) The passenger steamer SS Warrimoo was quietly knifing its way through the waters of the mid-Pacific on its way from Vancouver to Australia. The navigator had just finished working out a star fix and brought Captain John DS. Phillips, the result. The Warrimoo's position was LAT 0º 31' N and LONG 179 30' W. The date was 31 December 1899. "Know what this means?" First Mate Payton broke in, "We're only a few miles from the intersection of the Equator and the International Date Line". Captain Phillips was prankish enough to take full advantage of the opportunity for achieving the navigational freak of a lifetime. He called his navigators to the bridge to check & double check the ship's position. He changed course slightly so as to bear directly on his mark. Then he adjusted the engine speed. The calm weather & clear night worked in his favor. At mid-night the SS Warrimoo lay on the Equator at exactly the point where it crossed the International Date Line! The consequences of this bizarre position were many: The forward part (bow) of the ship was in the Southern Hemisphere & in the middle of summer. The rear (stern) was in the Northern Hemisphere & in the middle of winter. The date in the aft part of the ship was 31 December 1899. In the bow (forward) part it was 1 January 1900. This ship was therefore not only in: Two different days, Two different months, Two different years, Two different seasons But in two different centuries - all at the same time! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
