    Actually, I was looking for the title they used just before switching to Black Sabbath. They had a different name between Polka Tulk and Black Sabbath.

    The doctor in question is not a medical doctor.

    kuemper -- DS was correct. Dr Benjamin Spock was on the US Olympic rowing team in 1924. Look it up.

    I have to question this after T2's comment the crew was Leonard Carpenter, Howard Kingsbury, Al Lindley, John Miller, James Rockefeller, Frederick Sheffield, Benjamin Spock, Laurence Stoddard and Alfred Wilson.

    Dr Seuss is Theodor Seuss Geisel I don't see his name there? Am I missing something?

    Geisel was not in the 1924 olympics.

    Scroll to 1924:

    Olympic Rowing Teams

    If you do a search on the page you will find no "Geisel" anywhere. DS was correct -- kuemper, you should use a different source, they do not appear reliable.

    Oh ok I was just confused :hmm:

    Last week Julio Franco became the oldest man to hit a home run in the MLB at 47 years and 240 days, but who did he it for?

    If you mean "what team is he on?" then it's the Mets. If you mean that he pitch hit for someone on the team and who was it, then I have no idea.
