⁉️ OCTOBER's Trivia

[JoGee]

🎸 Yesterday's Answer:
Lucille is the name B.B. King gave to his guitars. They were usually black Gibson guitars similar to the ES-335. B.B. King wrote a song called Lucille in which he talks about his guitar and how it got its name. In 1949, during a performance in Arkansas, two men began to fight, knocking over a burning barrel of kerosene. The hall burst into flames, and the building was evacuated. Once outside, King realized that he had left his guitar inside so he went back into the burning building to retrieve his $30 Gibson guitar. Two men died in the fire, and King learned the next day that they had been fighting over a woman named Lucille. King named his guitar Lucille, as a reminder never again to do something as stupid as run into a burning building or fight over women.

The middle finger is the third digit of the human hand, located between the index finger and the ring finger. It is usually the longest finger. The slowest growing nail is your thumb nail. Freshly cut nails grow faster than nails that aren't cut regularly.

🌀 Which element's chemical symbol is 'Pb'?

Silver

Tin

Lead

Plutonium


🍂🍁🍂

[JoGee]

🌀
Yesterday's Answer:

Pb comes from the Latin word plumbum, and is the chemical symbol for lead. Lead is a soft, malleable and heavy post-transition metal. Lead has a shiny chrome-silver luster when it is melted into a liquid. It is also the heaviest (has the highest atomic number) non-radioactive element. Contrary to popular belief, pencil leads in wooden pencils have never been made from lead. Most of the lead used today is used in the production on lead-acid storage batteries, such as the batteries found in automobiles.
