How many sons and how many daughters does Ymir have?

...Technically, he didn't. But in the Prose Edda, it's mentioned that his limbs formed one "daughter" and two "sons".

What was the purpose of the 'Pennies For The President' campaign in the United States of America?
It vaguely sounds like a wartime strategy. Salvaging part of the alloy for war efforts?

I'm not sure snack food qualifies as mythology.

Charon is a moon so large, it shares a tidal-locked orbit around a shared center of gravity with Pluto, and its namesake actually predates Zeus, and possibly even some of the Titans themselves. Name three members of his family.

Erebus and Nyx, of course, and by extension, Chaos, but his siblings include Thanatos, the Hesperides (I think?), Eris, and Hypnos.

No, but that is a very clever thought!

The Hesperides are up for debate, but I think it's as reasonable a presumption as any of the other parentage theories. Everything else is correct!

Uh, help me out here, Carmen Sandiego... something to do with the introduction of standardized coinage itself? I remember an episode where the general public was asked to turn in their metals to smelt and mint, and the president's wife (possibly Mrs Washington?) started with a good example and gave her tea service. But not sure if that campaign got a name, and if so, whether said name was "pennies for the president" (obviously in that case it would be all about creating those pennies in the first place, not collecting them from anyone else)

The Wizard of Oz was actually contained a political commentary on a United States president. Which one and for what reason?

Teddy Roosevelt, emerald city represented the fake value of green money, and the silver shoes were a representation of the gold and silver standard

Death by Mirrors 08-23-2019 06:34 PM

Random fun fact: Back when homosexuality was illegal, gay men sometimes used the cover term "friends of Dorothy". Which later on led to the military believing there was an actual woman called Dorothy who was the central figure in a network of gay soldiers. Unsurprisingly any miliary intelligence search for that woman never brought any results.

I guess colonels don't read Wizard of Oz.
