You are more than welcome..Marilyne, JaneS,(CREDIT*) Radioman and Junee..The pleasure was all mine..

Chia, another great quiz! But, you are going around spreading rumors I see. In regards to the Spy Who Loved Me.. by Angel...I've written no such memoir! 

Angel..Please note that I am publicly announcing that you did not indeed write "The Spy Who Loved Me"  as I also  noted that Junee had not participated in throwing tea over board in Boston Harbor oh so many years ago

We are a particular bunch, aren't we?

JaneS..Opinion is the name of the game

Jane, yes we are and I wouldn't be writng any memoirs....    

angel...write your memoirs but use a nom de plume...Just a suggestion

Chia, perhaps I will. My nom de plume could be Frenchly La Rue....it would be the most interesting part of the page, yet banal enough to fit in with the memoirs! 

Angel...I must admit I am not anywhere as well read as you as it prompted me to look up Frenchy LaRue...who was quite a character.. Using the nom de plume of French"ly" LaRue is quite original may I say...

Just came up with another Trivia Quiz..I hope it provides a challenge for all interested....

I think Marilyne's answer to #3 is right. There is another name for it but it is more in the nature of slang.

"Expanding bullets, also known as hollow-point bullets or “xxx-xxx,” are designed to “mushroom” upon entering a target in order to stop it from leaving the body. Compared to regular bullets, or full metal jack ammunition, expanding bullets are intended to cause maximum tissue damage."

Rammel..on investigating further about #3 and #4 I have decided through your comment, to accept Marilyne's husbands answers as correct...I bow to your expertise since the  word fire-arm sends my blood cold..Continuing:
