I'm from CA originally (lived between the Hayward & San Andreas faults). I now live in the MidWest. Given the choice, I'll take earthquakes over tornados any day!     :rofl;

I lived in the Bay Area for almost 8 years: Redwood City, Fremont & San Jose.  I was there for the 10/17/1989 quake.

Cool! Jim & I were married in Fremont! In 89, we lived in Manteca but Jim was working in San Jose. I definitely remember the quake!Most of my family still lives on the coast, Half Moon Bay area.

Okay... In what year was the Oriental Shorthair accepted for registration by the CFA? Bonus: In what year was it granted Championship Status?

Galvo here. Clinging to the edge by his fingernails. A dog called Kitty Hawk!!!!
:rofl; :rofl; :rofl; :rofl;
I'm glad you managed to hang on until Henry could get to you, galvo.

Also, if we ever do move to the UK I have promised the boys a dog. It might be a tough sell, but we intend to name the dog Kitty Hawk in your honor.  :beer1;

I have no idea about Oriental Shorthairs, but I'll just go with a random guess of 1987.

The CFA stands for Cat Fanciers Association.

 Cat Fanciers Association. Never heard of it.  Is that the politically correct way to say crazy cat ladies?  :rofl;

Camilla reckons it's 1977, and she declined to answer the bonus question.

Camilla says that she was coughing up a furball at the time I asked her the questions, and that the rego year was 1974. She also muttered something about them looking like malnourished rats!

I'll give it to you, galvo, because you got the bonus answer. The first registration was actually 1972.  I have an Oriental and she is somewhat small (compared to other cats I've had) but deceptively heavy. Most of them are. They look fragile but when you pick them up... They feel like they weigh a ton!

Thank you.

Winston Churchill famously described the Iron Curtain as stretching from ....... in the Baltic to ....... in the Adriatic.

          Thank you, galvo.

        Here is my question:

Who is the man famous for nothing ?

Seinfeld is a man who became famous because he was on a show about nothing.

Wasn't George Hamilton famous for being famous? Does that count as nothing?    :rofl;   Seriously though, was it Evangelista TorricellI?

Some interesting answers, YLGuy and CebuShan, but not quite the answer...
...because this question is scientific,
and it involves an extremely important matter.
But I don’t want to put you under too much pressure...
so there is nothing to worry about...

I thought for sure you were going for space vacuum. That's where Evangelista TorricellI came from since he is credited with creating the first laboratory vacuum sometime in the 1600's. Oh well, I bow to someone who knows more about nothing that I do!    :rofl;

I was thinking Seinfeld too, because of his show about nothing..... I never liked Seinfeld, so nothing is what I will pay to not go see him in Summerside next weekend
