Breaking the sound barrier
Ok, trivia question for the day, for 10 points, answer and points posted this evening:
What was the first man made inventon to break the sound barrier?
No Googling allowed! I will have to use the good old Honor Code for this!
(Clue: the picture is not the answer)
ETA: The whip is the correct answer. congrats to J-Momma (who is mere points away from wining) and Kiki. I'm thinking about having another contest where I would tranfer the points of people in the middle now, and let them keep what they've earned so far. What do you think? Interested in playing again?

ok. i only got this one (with no cheating, i promise) cause my husband happens to know lots of useless facts especially in regards to science. it's the whip. at least, that's what he thinks. i thought maybe a gun, but he says the whip so we'll go with that.
Think Indiana Jones, the whip! Learned that from Matthew actually.
I have no idea regarding the sound barrier thing, but I'm praying for you regarding your court date in Ethiopia!!!!!

1. gun
2. race car
3. atom bomb

A single engine plane?????
Wait, did you get my post? I was typing with a baby on my lap, so maybe I messed up.
It was 3 guesses, in this order:
gun, racing car, atom bomb.
Just checking..

whip breaks sound barrier before gun or atom bomb, i think racing car is still working on it - would have to google or wiki to confirm . . .
hoping and praying for great news on Wednesday!
