Alan Rock's Trivia Teasers

Q: According to legend, it was July 18, AD 64 that Emperor Nero played his fiddle as Rome burned. That was not possible. Why?

A: The fiddle (violin) had not been invented yet. He may have played a lyre, an ancient string instrument - but certainly not a fiddle!

Q: Who was the first American astronaut to orbit the Earth?

A: John Glenn. He's a classy guy. He doesn't brag about his exploits in space. And most of all - he's classy because he doesn't talk about that astronaut diaper thing.
