I have two ideas in mind. Given American patriotism, I'll try the (primary) flagpole as my first guess

Flag Pole is correct. Once the location is etablished, they would plant a flag pole and raise the flag to be able to have the ceremonies, etc.

pengwn, you are next.

Holy crap, I was right?

All right, let's give this a try:

Wardenclyffe, originally a 200-acre parcel near the Long Island village of Shoreham, is the location of the last (and now only extant) laboratory of what scientist?

Winner winner chicken dinner!

A group recently purchased the disused land and remaining buildings, and is endeavouring to rehabilitate the site and *puts on sunglasses* transform it into a science centre

Your go, Frank!

I still owe this group a question (I just couldn't think of one before.) I have one in mind and will post in six hours if FrankC has not posted by then.

ICEMAN, that little guy is going to explode if he keeps drinking like that! :mrgreen:

This country's name is currently believed to be from the name of a local ruler who lived in Panama near the Bay of San Miguel. Name that country.

I'll give it 24 more hours, and then will either post a new question or give it back to FrankC.

From what I can remember of the South American continent, without looking at a picture, I think Columbia and Equador are close to Panama, but I'm ruling those out (Columbus and the Equator), so my next two thoughts are either Peru or Venezuela. My official first guess at this question will be Peru.

Peru is the correct anseer, so you are next.

FrankC, technically you are next to post a question, so feel free to do so.

Once again, good luck with that.
This would be the third or fourth time Frank has answered a question without returning to post a new one.

There was a three-day gap between the time that Frank answered pengwn's question and the tjme I posted. That time is now five days plus since Frank's last post. Therefore we can wait for FrankC or we can let MiniYoda ask away but I think Frank has had his chance...

Although primarily an Army/Air Force base during World War II, the land-locked military base at Fort Knox was used by the Navy to design and develop what ocean-sailing ship?

The Au-Boat? :mrgreen:

Nope, sorry. If you saw any historical film during the 70th anniversary of the Normandy Invasion, you would have seen these ships in use.

One more day of guessing, then go ahead and search the 'net.

It's been more than 48 hours. Time for people to start google'ing the answer

MiniYoda · **Joined:** Wed Feb 24, 2010 2:55 pm **Posts:** 733

OK....y'alls had your chance.

The answer is Landing Ship - Tank. First link is a PDF. start on the PDF page 2, then go to 1 then back to two. It's not my scan.......

http://www.generalpatton.org/LST_brochure.pdf

http://www.generalpatton.org/d-day/lst.htm

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Landing_ship_tank (text search Fort Knox)

Now, go watch the movie Goldfinger (yes, the James Bond one). The building is in the movie. As an employee at the Fort Knox Post, I drive by the old building every day. Yes, I have driven past the building that does or does not house the gold bars, but I'm not allowed to discuss it.

Now, I will try AGAIN with a trivia question. This time it is about the World Cup. and NO, for you who hate "futbol", it isn't about the sport.

Of the 32 countries who are participating in the event, Spain's national anthem is different from the other 31 because................?

Spain's anthem has no lyrics.

If this is what MiniYoda is looking for, then I'll post my question; I have one lined up.

no "official" lyrics, but correct. Before I post a question, I do reserach to make sure that the answer is correct and the wording of the question isn't confusing. As it turns out, there were several attempts throughout history to add lyrics, but nothing ever took. Spain isn't the only country whose anthem is music only.

ZOG, you are next
