When was this prediction made? I'm sure whatever the number is, we'll all share a laugh at his naivete.

I'll assume this was an old statement and guess 100,000.

Wow! I put that there as a silly answer.  :rofl;

In years past what was used as transmission oil in Rolls-Royce automobiles?

I tried to cheat and phoned Gwyn as I thought for sure he would know this one. He was crushed to discover that he has no idea. He says that mineral oil used to be used for many parts of the vehicle, but says that as transmission oil must be thicker (he compared it to DOT 5 brake fluid if that means anything to anyone) that he doubted mineral oil would cut the mustard.

Still, it's the only guess we have, so: mineral oil? :waiting;

In years past, spermaceti oil – from the sperm whale – was used as transmission oil in Rolls-Royce automobiles.

For two years the US of A was run by a president and a vice president who were not elected by the people. Who were they and how did this come about?

The president was Gerald Ford, I believe his vp was Nelson Rockefeller. Ford ascended to the presidency as he was Richard Nixon's vp when Nixon resigned in disgrace due to the Watergate scandal. Not sure how Rockefeller got his role, but believe he was selected for the position by Ford. Ford lost to Jimmy Carter in 1976, thereby never winning a presidential election.

Well done, cariad. After Vice President Spiro T. Agnew resigned in 1973, President Nixon appointed Gerald Ford as vice president. Nixon resigned the following year, which left Ford as president, and Ford's appointed vice president, Nelson Rockefeller, as second in line.

Over to you.

What is the Hand of God goal? Who scored it, in which match, and why is it referred to in this way?

My god, I think I know the answer to a sports question. 
Maradonna (sp?) was a brazilian? soccer player who scored this outstanding goal in a manner involving his hand, which was described to me a million times over by my soccer-mad israelian flatmate one year, the details of which escape me.  He .... just touched the ball... and it went into the goal.  No wait, let me see... can you even touch the ball with your hands in soccer?  I thought not.  But I stick with this story.  [flinching to avoid avalanche of you're-wrongs!]

We're not allowed to google are we.  mumble.

 :rofl; I know what you mean. I should have prefaced mine with "My god, I think I'm going to ask a sports question!"

You certainly got the basics correct. Diego Maradona is actually Argentinian, but we won't tell him that I think Brazil is close enough. In the 1986 Argentina/England football/soccer match, Maradona scored a goal that, according to my husband, clearly came off his hand. They just replayed the match here as part of the World Cup prologue, but I watched the moment and could not really see it. When he was accused of a handball goal, Maradona suggested that it was the hand of God. This is all a really big deal if you are English and love football, but I can claim neither, so..... you're up, Nat. :2thumbsup;

PS - you can absolutely Google. The game could hardly progress without search engines!

It makes a rib (like on the bottom of a jumper, or what those in the US call "sweaters")
