    🎸 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.

      Previous Answer:
      Known as "The King of Beers," Budweiser was first introduced by Adolphus Busch in 1876. Budweiser has grown to become one of the highest selling beers in the United States, and is available in over 80 markets worldwide. In addition to the regular Budweiser, Anheuser-Busch brews several different beers under the Budweiser brand, including Bud Light and Bud Ice. Anheuser-Busch is known for its humorous advertisements, some of which have entered the popular culture in the United States. They include a long line of TV advertisements in the 1990s featuring three frogs named "Bud," "Weis," and "Er;" lizards impersonating the "Bud-weis-er" frogs, a campaign built around the phrase "Whassup?", and a team of Clydesdale horses commonly known as "The Budweiser Clydesdales."

        💰 Each player begins the game with his or her token on the Go square, and $1,500 in play money. This should be broken down into two $500 bills, two $100 bills, two $50 bills, six $20 bills, five $10 bills, five $5 bills and five $1 bills. Since the board game was first commercially sold in the 1930s, it has become a part of popular world culture, having been locally licensed in more than 103 countries and printed in more than 37 languages.

          Yesterday's Answer:

          With a reported one third of the currency in circulation being counterfeit at the time, the Secret Service was created on July 5, 1865 in Washington, D.C., to suppress counterfeit currency. In 1901, following the assassination of President William McKinley, Congress informally requested that the Secret Service provide presidential protection. A year later, Theodore Roosevelt became the first President to receive protection from the Secret Service.

            Yesterday's Answer:

            Jack Paar was a comedian and talk show host, best known for his stint as host of The Tonight Show from 1957 to 1962. Citing that he would prefer to do one prime-time show per week rather than five late-night installments, Paar left the show in March 1962, and Johnny Carson was chosen to replace Paar as the host of The Tonight Show. Paar's death at age 85 came just a year before his Tonight Show successor Johnny Carson died from emphysema.

              Previous Answer:
              ✋🏼On average, fingernails grow about one tenth of an inch in a month. However, not all fingernails grow at the same rate. The fastest growing nail is the one on your middle finger. 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.

                      Located in the Pacific ocean in Japan, the Mariana Trench is the deepest opening in the earth's crust at 35,787 feet. Mount Everest, the world's tallest mountain at 29,035 feet, could easily fit inside. The deepest point in the trench is called the Challenger Deep. The depression is named after the British Royal Navy survey ship HMS Challenger, whose expedition of 1872–1876 made the first recordings of its depth.

                        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.

                          "Veni, vidi, vici"; ("I came, I saw, I conquered.") is a Latin phrase popularly attributed to Julius Caesar, who used the phrase in a letter to the Roman Senate around 46 BC after he had achieved a quick victory in his short war against Pharnaces II of Pontus at the Battle of Zela. The phrase is used to refer to a swift, conclusive victory. Variations of the sentence "Veni, vidi, vici" are often quoted, and also used in music, art, literature, and entertainment.

                            The Antoinette Perry Award for Excellence in Theatre, more commonly known informally as the Tony Award, recognizes achievement in live Broadway theatre. The awards are presented by the American Theatre Wing and The Broadway League at an annual ceremony in New York City. The award is named after Antoinette Perry, nicknamed Tony, an actress, director, producer and co-founder of the American Theatre Wing, who died in 1946. As her official biography at the Tony Awards website states, "At [Warner Bros. story editor] Jacob Wilk's suggestion, [Pemberton] proposed an award in her honor for distinguished stage acting and technical achievement. At the initial event in 1947, as he handed out an award, he called it a Tony. The name stuck."

                                4G, short for fourth generation, is the fourth generation of mobile telecommunications technology, succeeding 3G. The nomenclature of the generations generally refers to a change in the fundamental nature of the service. New mobile generations have appeared about every ten years since the first move from 1981 analogue (1G) to digital (2G) transmission in 1992. This was followed, in 2001, by 3G multi-media support, followed by 4G.
