Great Lakes

Lake Erie
Lake Huron
Lake Michigan
Lake Ontario
Lake Superior
Also: Lake St. Clair
Also: St. Lawrence River

These are the lakes I am referring to. I do not understand how you got 10,000.


*Does eneey meeny mineey moe* Is it Lake Erie?

She got it! I did not know about the 10,000 lakes part. See, we learn something new everyday. :)

I thought the name was funny too, especially when you are so use to their new name.

The info I found out was the Detroit Gems relocated to Minneapolis and changed their name to the Lakers because as Cantrlady said:

The Lakers got their name in Minneapolis since the city is known as "The Land of 10,000 Lakes".

Got it, but not spoiling it. Well, maybe just a little . . .

Hint: Four of the items in the list are plurals. That should tell you what one of the letters deciphers into.

Great job!

I have decided to do a "Who wants to be a Millionaire" question for all you brainiacs out there. It is a $1000 question so it is not that easy, but it is not that hard. You get 3 lifelines. Please PM me the answer. You can ask for lifelines here though. Just do not post the answer here. Lets see who can get it.

Bonus: You will get 4 points if you do not use any lifelines. I will minus one point for each lifeline you use or wrong answer you get.

Ok. That one was obviously to easy. lol

The_antisocial_hermit got it!! Deadboy got it but was beat by 4 minutes.

The answer is C. Unsinkable

Great job! I can not wait to put a million dollar question up, but I will keep everything in order and hopefully this will give others a chance.

Not to hog all the questions I will wait until tomorrow to post one in case someone else has a question. It will be a riddle this time. (I like to mix everything up. :P )
