I don't think either Bush, or Carter, or Clinton, have been buried "anywhere" yet...since they're still kickin'.

Probably not the right answer, but it is a "correct" answer.

That is the right answer.

Can anyone else throw a question out there to keep it going? I can't think of anything off the top of my head to ask...

Thanks!

Digital Underground was a popular rap act in the late 80's and early 90's.  Which member of the group went on to even bigger success as a solo star?

[Tenshot13]

Humpty Hump.


What country started the Christmas tradition of exchanging gifts?

[MyGodWearsAHoodie]

netherlands

[Tenshot13]

Actually, I just did a little more research on the subject and the answer is debatable.  Some historians say it was the Romans in Italy, others say it was the Netherlands, and others still say it was in Jerusalem with the three wise men.

So I'll give Hoodie the go ahead on that one.

Humpty Hump.

Wrong answer!!!!  Anyone else want to take a guess?  Hint.... he met a sinister end in 1996.

I can't believe Humpty Hump was considered a bigger success than 2Pac by anyone and done with enough confidence that they didn't wait to hear they were incorrect.

Phish, you are correct.  The answer is 2pac.  Humpty Hump actually became known as Shock G, and did backup on 2pac's first album.

I love the band Jethro Tull, and remember the story well. They had actually tried a bunch of different names for the band as they played in small clubs, and one day their manager saw a flyer posted on the street for some machinery (or a lecture, I've heard conflicting stories) made by a local farmer/agriculturalist named...Jethro Tull. The manager borrowed the name and used it for the next show, and it was the biggest crowd they had ever had. They decided to keep the name from that point on.


So I guess the answer is that the original Jethro Tull was famous for his farming acumen.

2Pac wasn't a member of Digital Underground, was he?  I thought he was just a backup dancer in their video.

He most definitely performed as a rapper in the group.
