That's o.k., a question about a cheesy wrestling show form the '60's got answered in a minute

I thought it was the 70's, I wasn't here in the 60's. (in the country that is)

[craigb]

Well it was probably still going in the '70's but it was v. big in the 60's. When you were only 11 years old, you could almost believe it was real .

Who else remembers "Killer" Kowalski and his infamous "claw grip" or was it the "sleeper hold" ?

[himzol]

Killer was the sleeper hold,
"the claw" was the two japanese wrestlers, I think they were brothers (or meant to be).

[craigb]

Ah yes, that's right.

[himzol]

It's sad isn't it,
I remember this cr@p but can't remember birthdays aniversaries and such.

HARRISON, William Henry

Who was this bloke and what was he famous for?

A clue: it has to do with a current world event

[Driver]

Wasn't Harrison the bloke who came up with a successful design for a marine chronometer and thereby solved the longitude problem in ocean navigation?

[himzol]

Not this one,

[simon c]

I assume that the current world event you are refering to is the US election, so I'm guessing that Harrison was a president. PS it was John Harrison who solved the longitude problem.

[himzol]

so I'm guessing that Harrison was a president.

Indeed he was. Served for 31 days before he died.

your go

[simon c]

Why do I always do that when I'm about to go home. I'll have a new question in the morning. In the meantime - feel free to butt in (especially SilentC as it is still your go from last week!)

[silentC]

OK quick and easy:

Which ship had a computer called 'Mother'?

[himzol]

"dark Star"

[silentC]

... is one of the correct answers. Do you know the other?

[himzol]

nope,
