Umm...P. Diddy isn't a band, he wasn't in NIN, the Bangles, with David Bowie, Tenacious D or Tom Petty (though Petty did ask Grohl to drum for him after Kurt died). Bands he collaborated with don't count, since he wasn't 'in' them.You only got 3 by the way.

Ooh! I know this one! Erik the Red was the first settler in Greenland and named the place so in an effort to attract other settlers. I mean, who can resist a land that is green! The logic is flawless, I know!For 50 GP, tell me why Greenland is named so.

Greenz got it.For 50GP, tell me where someone could likely (well, relative to other parts of Earth) find a piece of Mars on Earth and why.
Nope, all or none.And if you want the answer, wait until someone gets it or until tomorrow when I answer it myself.For the hard level question I think you should just give 50pts a piece for every area... or just drop the question and tell us the answer...I'm getting pissed because I love Chrono Trigger but I don't know anymore than 2...

Are you referring to the SNC meteorites? These meteorites are thought to have come from Mars and were first found in Shergotty, Nakhla, and Chassigny. This is thought because there was a certain type of gas trapped inside the rocks, and that gas is nearly identical to the atmosphere on Mars, as measured by the Viking Landers.EDIT: Hmm... with that hint, I want to say that this place is a desert... Are you looking for a specific desert name, if it's deserts we're even looking at?For 50GP, tell me where someone could likely (well, relative to other parts of Earth) find a piece of Mars on Earth and why.
I got it! Three areas that were left out were Singing Mountain, Zeal Dungeon, and Forest Ruins. Just in case one of those was wrong, two additional areas include the extra mountain northeast of Tyrano Lair and a 3rd village southeast of Tyrano Lair with a few inaccessible huts.Okay, I'm done answering questions for a while. Time to give somebody else a shot!(hard, 150GP)Name at least three areas that were left out of the original SNES release of Chrono Trigger.

Nope, there's a place where you could go to find pieces of Mars almost every year. Hint: the rocks would really stand out in this place...

i'm guessing that the animal is an elephant (but it sounds like a trick question so i think i got wrong) but an elephant does have a very big penis that approx lies half of its length. as for the doom question, never played it
Should I feel bad if I want everything to become ice cream?

Animal? Or creature. Because the barnacle has the largest penis relative to its size. If you're looking for animal, then it's the Argentine Blue-bill. It's so big that it's actually coiled up when flaccid, and can be as long as the bird itself when erect! Teehees all around!Also, side note. The blue whale has the largest penis at 8 feet long! :PIFor 50GP, what animal has the largest penis relative to its size?

..Hmm... Let me think... I know I remember snippits..I think the... Basin states formed a commission in... 1922. yeah, um... Then January of that same year, Herbert Hoover met with the governors of Arizona, California, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah, and Wyoming to like... Uh, decide how to divide up the Colorado River amongst the states. Something like that. Then in November, they signed a compact that divided the river into upper and lower halves with the states within each region deciding how the water would be divided between them. That agreement is what... Inspired the idea for the Boulder Dam.So then later in 1922, they tried to get Congress's approval of constructing the dam. So they presented two bills to Congress in order to win popular vote. However; the bills came up short and votes and failed. But then in 1928, the House of Representatives and the Senate approved the bill, so they sent it to the president. Then, on December 21, 1928, President Calvin Coolidge signed the bill approving the Boulder Dam. They planned for it to be built in July of 1930. Later on, they decided to build the dam on Black Canyon instead of Boulder canyon, but the name stayed the same(For the time being). I think I got it all. I hope I don't need to go into detail on the construction process >.> Say, Pat, what's up with the new name?

To protect the construction site from flooding, two cofferdams were constructed. Construction of the upper cofferdam began in September 1932, even though the river had not yet been diverted. A temporary horseshoe-shaped dike protected the cofferdam on the Nevada side of the river. After the Arizona tunnels were completed, and the river diverted, the work was completed much faster. Once the coffer dams were in place and the construction site dewatered, excavation for the dam foundation began. For the dam to rest on solid rock, it was necessary to remove all the riverbed's accumulated erosion soils and other loose materials until sound bedrock was reached. Work on the foundation excavations was completed in June 1933. During excavations for the foundation, approximately 1,500,000 yd³ (1,150,000 m³) of material was removed. Since the dam would be a gravity-arch type, the side-walls of the canyon would also bear the force of the impounded lake. Therefore the side-walls were excavated too, to reach virgin (un-weathered) rock which had not experienced the weathering of centuries of water seepage, wintertime freeze cracking, and the heating/cooling cycles of the Arizona/Nevada desert.To divert the river's flow around the construction site, four diversion tunnels were driven through the canyon walls, two on the Nevada side and two on the Arizona side. These tunnels were 56 feet in diameter. Their combined length was nearly 16,000 feet (4877 meters, more than three miles). Tunneling began at the lower portals of the Nevada tunnels in May 1931. Shortly afterwards, work began on two similar tunnels in the Arizona canyon wall. In March 1932, work began on lining the tunnels with concrete. First the base, or invert, was poured. Gantry cranes, running on rails through the entire length of each tunnel were used to place the concrete. The sidewalls were poured next. Movable sections of steel forms were used for the sidewalls. Finally, using pneumatic guns, the overheads were filled in. The concrete lining is three feet (91.5 centimeters) thick, reducing the finished tunnel diameter to 50 feet (15.25 m).Following the completion of the dam, the entrances to the two outer diversion tunnels were sealed at the opening and half way through the tunnels with large concrete plugs. The downstream halves of the tunnels following the inner plugs are now the main bodies of the spillway tunnels. The spillways can be seen directly above the outer diversion tunnels. They drop sharply from their entrance point and merge directly into the old diversion tunnels.Two intake towers on the Arizona side.The two inner diversion tunnels have two concrete plugs in them. One is roughly half way along their length, and the other is around 75% of the way along their length. The section sandwiched between two concrete plugs is used as part of the tunnel which water travels along, to journey from the outermost intake towers and the generators. The two innermost intake towers have separate tunnels.The large spillway tunnels have only been used three times in the history of the dam. The first one was during the second half of 1941 for testing. The second one was for about six weeks during the summer of 1983, when record precipitation and snow-melt in the Colorado River basin drained into Lake Mead, and the third one in 1999, again with heavy precipitation that filled Lake Mead.The two vertical foundations for each of the arch walls (the Nevada side and Arizona side) had to be founded on sound virgin rock; free of cracks and the weathering that the surface rock of the canyon walls had from thousands of years of weathering and exposure.The men who removed this rock were called high-scalers. While suspended from the top of the canyon with ropes high-scalers climbed down the canyon walls and removed the loose rock with jackhammers and dynamite.The first concrete was placed into the dam on June 6, 1933. Since no structure of the magnitude of the Hoover Dam had been constructed, many of the procedures used in construction of the dam were untried. Since concrete heats up and contracts as it cures, uneven cooling and contraction of the concrete posed a serious problem. The Bureau of Reclamation engineers calculated that if the dam were built in a single continuous pour, the concrete would have taken 125 years to cool to ambient temperature. The resulting stresses would have caused the dam to crack and crumble. To solve this problem the dam was built in a series of interlocking trapezoidal columns. Each pour was no more than six inches deep. Because of this depth it is extremely unlikely that construction workers were accidentally buried alive in the concrete, contrary to popular folklore. To further cool the concrete each form contained cooling coils of 1 inch (25.4 mm) thin-walled steel pipe. River water was circulated through these pipes to help dissipate the heat from the curing concrete. After this, chilled water from a refrigeration plant on the lower cofferdam was circulated through the coils to further cool the concrete. After each layer had sufficiently cooled the cooling coils were cut off and pressure grouted by pneumatic grout guns. The concrete is still curing and gaining in strength as time goes on.There is enough concrete in the dam to pave a two-lane highway from San Francisco to New York.There. that should be good enough
