You can absolutely answer and "star-block" the others. The rules are like the NFL comp picks, I know them, give you some parameters, but they are mostly just in my head.

I'm not sure if the amount of time it took to find this is commensurate with the amount of face I'm attempting to save.

You gotta find two examples!

Band-Aid.

Aspirin.

Nope.

Heroin

Gunpowder · Post by **Gunpowder** » Wed Feb 12, 2014 11:12 am

No but would be awesome if it were

phxgators · Post by **phxgators** » Wed Feb 12, 2014 11:20 am

After I guessed, I googled to verify that it was a real product back in the day.

Gunpowder · Post by **Gunpowder** » Wed Feb 12, 2014 11:32 am

Hell yeah it was. Their triangle of health or whatever was aspirin, heroin, and something else. Forget the third one, but it wasn't as awesome as heroin.

Promoted as a non-addictive alternative to morphine. Big pharma has been doing this shit for a long time, routinely lying about properties of their newest products, killing people in the process.

Is it Bass Ale? I think I remember reading about that one being old.

e: Misunderstood the "generic" part of the question. Bass was the first trademark in the UK.

Gunpowder · Post by **Gunpowder** » Wed Feb 12, 2014 1:33 pm

Nope.

The answer: LINOLEUM

I floored that no one got that one.

Just saw another. This one is for a silver star, maybe, if you get both.

Since the NBA draft lottery began in 1985, only two number one overall picks won a title with the team that drafted them. Who they be?

(I'm assuming this one is correct, haven't researched it at all, taking the word of the person that posted it)

Tim Duncan

Gunpowder · Post by **Gunpowder** » Wed Feb 12, 2014 1:58 pm

That is one

Scottie · Post by **Scottie** » Wed Feb 12, 2014 1:59 pm

I know that one. It's kinda a trick question. Kinda. In both cases it is the Spurs (David Robinson, Tim Duncan).

Gunpowder · Post by **Gunpowder** » Wed Feb 12, 2014 2:00 pm

Yep. DR and TD.

This early NBA draft wrinkle was pretty neat: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NBA_territorial_pick" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

They should bring that back.

The 9/11 attacks were the deadliest terrorist attack against U.S. citizens, exceeding the death toll from which previous incident?

Pearl Harbor, which would be classified as terrorist in modern terms.

howard · Post by **howard** » Thu Feb 20, 2014 3:10 pm

Oklahoma City. Or Pearl Harbor. Depending.

ETA: Terrorism is a stupid fucking work, devoid of any meaning. Newspeak at its finest. Orwell had no idea how bad language as a weapon against citizens could get.

The Sybian · Post by **The Sybian** » Thu Feb 20, 2014 3:10 pm

Oklahoma City?

U.S. Marine barracks bombing in Beirut, Lebanon

Gunpowder · Post by **Gunpowder** » Thu Feb 20, 2014 3:18 pm

All incorrect

Gunpowder · Post by **Gunpowder** » Thu Feb 20, 2014 3:20 pm

EDIT: Didn't realize that the death toll at Pearl Harbor was so high. But no, that does not count.

Gunpowder · Post by **Gunpowder** » Thu Feb 20, 2014 3:21 pm

Let me edit the question to end speculation: by deaths of American civilians.
