9 Q to go
ADDITIONAL CLUE: calling this invention a 'thing' is misleading. It is non-tangible. You cannot hold it in your hand, nor in a wheelbarrow, nor a cargo ship. Yet most US citizens, Canadians, Mexicans, Central Americans and Japanese have seen it.
WoW!
Hmm. Is this more of discovery, rather than an invention?
I won't count that as a full question. I think you'd have to say this more an invention (maybe CREATION is the right word?) than a discovery. The same historians that say A D did not really invent it say that it has no single inventor but more or less EVOLVED. [what, a creation vs. evolution debate?]
Another clue: this 'thing' is rarely seen in Europe.
I'm surprised this is that hard. I must be over-complicating it. "Japanese" should be a big clue. Think about things that the USA and Japan have in common that the USA and Europe do not.
I have been!
Does this have something to do with the Pacific Ocean?
No. No ocean involved.
Another clue: The 'thing' is rarely if ever seen during the winter
hee hee! Love this!
Does this thing something to do with astronomy?
I know! I know!
Baseball! (but I'm not sure who you are talking about) A
Abner Doubleday!!!!!!!!
Can't wait to hear from Equus, fealola, but I think you're right! I've been just rackin' my brain!!!
Home run.
ABNER DOUBLEDAY is correct.
Doubleday was the Union officer that fired the first shot (from the Union side) of the Civil War at the battle of Fort Sumter.
Years later the legend arose that he was the inventor of baseball. (It's my understanding that some hack sportswriter at the turn of the 20th Century, trying to give baseball a glorious history, picked the war hero as the inventor)
Who really cares what the heck is the point of this game not tryin to be rude or anything but like who cares! Sorry if I ruined your game but yeh can somone think of a reason why you dudes are actually doing dis game
Glad you persisted on that one, fealola -- it was driving me crazy!
