How much air does an average man take in and out throughout a day?

[CvilleFencer]

What animal sees in both Infra Red and Ultra Violet light spectrums?

Salmonidae, commonly known as Salmon or trout. And they taste good too!

What was the original silly putty made of?

I was actually thinking of Gold Fish but Salmon and Trout work also and taste much better!

[CvilleFencer]

Good.

I was looking for the atmosphere, temperature ranges, and the dust (regolith) they are both covered in. Obscure, but hey, this is triva.

BTW, you were supposed to follow your answer up with a question.

So we are calling that one a correct answer yes for me yes? If so I look forward to the rep hit you glorious six dotted person you. Also for this game, shouldn't we wait for confimation that our answer is correct before we post a question?

Good point, Google can make these things a bit too easy. Unfortunatly I can't give you rep right now, I already gave you some before and need to "spread it around a bit" first...

well are we taking based on lung volume or tidal volume?

based on an average tidal volume and 1 breath per 5 seconds you get;

8640 litres by my math.

Subtract about 20% if you're an average girl.

(tidal volume is about 500ml vs about 6litres for total lung volume).

And your question is?

[keith]

ah sorry

the quote "If I have seen farther, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants." is normally attributed to Isaac Newton, but who originally used it?

(there are two possible right answers)

Tough call. It was a not-uncommon catchphrase used in the Middle Ages. I'm going with Bernard of Chartres.

"We are like dwarfs standing [or sitting] upon the shoulders of giants, and so able to see more and see farther than the ancients."
- Bernard of Chartres, circa 1130

"Bernard of Chartres used to say that we are like dwarfs on the shoulders of giants, so that we can see more than they, and things at a greater distance, not by virtue of any sharpness on sight on our part, or any physical distinction, but because we are carried high and raised up by their giant size."
- John of Salisbury, Metalogicon, 1159

"A dwarf standing on the shoulders of a giant may see farther than a giant himself."
- Robert Burton, The Anatomy of Melancholy, 1621

"Dwarfs on the shoulders of giants see further than the giants themselves."
- Stella Didacus, Eximii verbi divini CONCIONATORIS ORDINNIS MINORUM Regularis Observantiae, 1622

"A dwarf on a giant's shoulders sees farther of the two."
- George Herbert, Jacula Prudentum, 1651

If I'm right, my question is what was Don Knotts' first film or television appearance.

[keith]

you are correct.

Almost accurate, though the average number of breaths is 16 per minute, so it's 11520 litres. Though, rep is sure! I can't give it now to you, but I keep it in mind!

[JackSparrow]

He was on the Steve Allen Show in the mid 50's before he made any films.

Can you name every Bond girl (character and actress)

[CvilleFencer]

If I'm right, my question is what was Don Knotts' first film or television appearance.

Howdy Doody?

[JackSparrow]

If I'm right, my question is what was Don Knotts' first film or television appearance.

He appeared regularly on the Steve Allen Show in the mid 50's before he made any films.

If that was the first then my question is - can you name all the Bond girls? (character and actress)

[noodle]

If that was the first then my question is - can you name all the Bond girls? (character and actress)

no



since this is a correct answer to your question, here's my question:
how many presidents never attended college?

[keith]

nine (but it feels like ten)

how many proteins are encoded by the fruit fly genome?

[Epee_Pox]

He appeared regularly on the Steve Allen Show in the mid 50's before he made any films.

If that was the first then my question is - can you name all the Bond girls? (character and actress)

He was actually on another TV show before that, in 1951. Keep trying.
