a small botany lesson on Lagenaria gourds

[Caroluna]

These links say that the Big Dipper is the drinking gourd, and that you use two stars in it to draw a line to the north star.

Maybe there's another version?

Sorry if I'm being pedantic, but being in Star Fleet compels me to bring this up.

Wait, there's Kitsune in Star Fleet?

[Rod Sprague]

Actually, they find it rather useful, but yes, there is a Kitsune in Star Fleet.

Steve! Good to see ya back. Actually, I think the question I posited was a bit of a trick question as there's a fair amount of debate on that. Probably about as bad as the Crafts-Broyer hypothesis, as far as that goes.

Oh, and on topic: I don't recall any of the quiz questions being covered in the original post.

Oops, did I forget to assign the assigned reading?

3) Elvis sang a song about how much he loves his gourd vines and the way they grow. What was it?

"Love me tendril, love me sweet, never let me go...
you have made my life complete, and I love you so"

5) Explain the difference between being into gourds, and being out of your gourd.

Someone who is into gourds would start a thread on gourds.
Someone who is out of their gourd would keep adding to the thread on gourds, instead of letting it die a natural death.

Good job guys, you all get A's!

Caroluna, my pet, I actually looked through many lyrics of Elvis songs trying to find some old country thang he recorded in his early career that might mention gourds. He mentioned other food and gardens and such, but never anything about his gourd vines. I was up late searching, thinking "I know I can find it." I would have to say that the answer to this one was a S-T--R---E----T-----C------H for the punnetically challenged like me!!!!! This was a fun thread!
