#12: "One Of These Days, Alice...": FieldTripped (9/9/08)

Take a look at this beautiful rocket. Pretty nice, eh? This is an example of an ELV, otherwise known as an Expendable Launch Vehicle. Think of it as a "one-time use rocket" if you will. This particular one is launching from a launch pad in a specific country. Your job for this FieldTripped is to figure out where. Here's some help:

This country is located in the northern hemisphere. It uses the euro as its form of currency. With a 2007 population estimate of 209,000, its exports include shrimp, timber, gold, and rum. The country is not very big, with about an area of 83,534 km². You can find Devil's Island near here as well. The only other thing we'll say is that it is an Overseas Department (since 1946); one of four actually.

Turn And Face The Strange

A BRAND NEW season of Say What? is beginning. This is very exciting, because that means ch-ch-changes are in store. A new color scheme, a new logo, and some new games are coming your way.

We're also hoping to attract a larger fan base then the current one we have (big thanks the the 3 devoted followers we have currently; we have not forgotten you). So we urge you to spread the word.

In the coming weeks, we are also going to introduce a contest with an actual decent prize. More to come on that.

In the meantime, take a good look at our past posts, because we are going forward and we're not looking back. Hopefully. (Did we leave the stove on? We'd better go back and check.)

#11: "OOOOOOOOH, That Smarts!": ThisJustIn (9/9/08)

Great.
Mexican.
Lucas.
Bigeye.
Red.
Obtuse.
Guachanche.

At first glance, these seem like random words. And, yes, they are. But they also happen to be types of a certain living thing. Your job is to figure out what it is.

Here's a clue: the reason why this is being filled under ThisJustIn is because this living this was prominent in the news fairly recently. Conventionally, I should give another more obvious clue. But I'm not. I do have a Heart, though, so don't be mad at me.

We Never Call, But We Still Love

There has not been a post since May, which is our bad. Seriously, how could this happen? Anyway, that's enough of beating ourselves up.

In the coming days, this site will go through a slight change. We're going to add some new features and maybe even take some away (gasp). But the most important thing is that we are going to make a huge effort to make weekly updates. For real this time. Stop looking at us like that.

In the meantime, we've got some loose ends to tie up. There are a series of posts that need some questions answered. So check out some of the past posts and get caught up.

Here's to a prolific summer!

#10: "Well This Explains A Lot...": ThisJustIn (5/5/08)

So, I was reading the newspaper this morning while enjoying my French Toast when I came across a small article. Although it was tiny, this article opened my eyes as wide as they could go.

It turns out that, according to a credible National Governing Body, a recent study shows that 58% of African American children don't know how to do what?

Let's keep the responses relatively PC, ok? Save the racist jokes for another blog...

ANSWER TIME: I can say that I am a part of this statistic (which explains the title of this post)... TAKE A DEEP BREATH

#9: "From Alpha To...": WhoIsDat (4/10/08)

Alright, what can we say about this CelebriTot? This actress is prolific in the Hollywood industry (but you already knew that). A fluent Welsh speaker, her father was the manager of a candy factory. It may explain why she is fan of musicals like Mary Poppins (or maybe Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory...). I guess her love of musicals did not help her singing career, only one single made it to the Top 75 (in the UK). She was a feature in FHM's "100 Sexiest Women in the World" which is great. However, in one year, she dropped from #68 to #82. But to end on a good note, she and her husband of almost 8 years share the same birthday (so no excuse for forgetting).

WhoIsDat?

ANSWER TIME: She's so cute in that picture. She's only gotten better... IN THE FLESH

We're BACK!

Boy, does it feel good to be home. Thank you to everyone who have been so supportive during the last month. It has really helped.

But now, onto business. Say What? is back and ready to kick it into full gear. All new questions are coming your way, and we are looking for more and more people to come to this site.

We've also got a few writing spots open, so if you think you've got some talent, flaunt it on this site!

Finally, in the coming weeks, we hope to be premiering some new features on this site that we think you will enjoy.

That's it for now, so onto the good stuff!
