*correct.
* Ask Jeeves
A= The preying mantis

A. Rhythm

^ Rythm? Where is the vowel in that? It's also spelt incorrectly.

In rhythm, the 'y' is the vowel. English is like that - it bends it's own rules to suit itself.

EDIT:
Jeepers, it's actually Potholer who posted this. I (Potholer) didn't realise my brother had registered and that I'm logged in under him. I'll be logging in as myself now...haha

as Potholer said .. "y" is the vowel here .. plus .. dont tell me you never miss-spelt any word!?

im sure they have misspelled...as u spelled it right, and their correction was wrong..rhythm is correct.

djdodo: The longest word with one vowel(not repeated) is strengths(9), and not rhythm. The words psychorhythms (13), polyrhythms (11) and rhythmless (10) are longer, but each uses the letter 'y' as a vowel.

Thanks for the info BC ..
I am still not sure if my answer is correct or not .. I just guessed it because I have read it some where .. we'll just have to wait for RaginCajun .. because he is the one who posted this question and he is responsible for checking the answer

Hey, no problem.

Q: In Genesis, five cities of the plain are mentioned. Which two are destroyed by fire and brimstone because of their wickedness?

soddom and gamorah

That's a tricky question, cause the answer isn't a name of a person, but rather a name of people, since it happened so long ago no one remembers that man who actually invented it .

Anyhow, the first people to brew the first beer were the Sumerians of ancient Mesopotamia (modern Iraq), some 6,000 years ago, around 4,000BC .

yup.

What is the name of the first known architect and what was the name of the famous structure this person built?

Yup.
as to the answer to yours, i don't have a clue.

Anyone else then??

That would be Imhotep, an advisor to king Djoser; who built..Get ready for a shocker here..The Pyramid of Djoser..(I bet you thought I was going to say the first Wal-Mart didn't you?)

To continue with Egypt...The Pharoah Akhenaton moved the capitol of Egypt when he completely restructured Egypts' religion..What was the name of his glorious new capitol?

Wasn't he known for the monotheism change in Egypt?? And I think it was Amarna...

What was the daughters name of the ancient king Minos, famous for his elaborately designed castle... and what island was this castle on?? What was this castle famous for??

is it: Imhotep? He was the world's first named architect who built Egypt's first pyramid,

Correct! Or at least technically, as that's what we call it today. Bonus points if you know the cities' original name..

Akhetaten (The Horizon of the Aten)

post 3384...

Now I see your edit!

sorry, I edit frequently, as my fingers sometimes have a mind of their own... and type things before my brain thinks about it!! hee hee

what is the significance of the dates: 6 April 1917 and 8 December 1941?

Okay. Let's answer the first question before it's lost. Minos' Daughter was Ariadne. The island was Crete. And the palace at Knossos was famous for it's labyrinth which supposedly contained Minos' gods-cursed son the minotaur. Or if you're going just on history it was famous for it's running water plumbing and it's flush toilets...phew!* That should cover it..

So..Who was the mythical inventor who supposedly designed the Labyrinth?

Daedalus

Who was his son?

Icarus!
And speaking of great falls. Name the mythological hero who tamed Pegasus, much to his eventual dismay..

Bellerophon

Who were the parents of Pegasus?

April 6, 1917 - World War I: United States declares war on Germany.

December 8, 1941 - World War II: After the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor the previous day, the U.S. Congress passes a declaration of war against Japan, bringing the United States of America officially into World War 2; Congresswoman Jeannette Rankin casts the only "no" vote. In response, Hitler's Germany declares war on the United States.

Probably meant that ^ ...

But in an eerie coincidence, something else happened on December 8, 1941:
December 8, 1941 - Holocaust: First Nazi use of gas vans on Jews, at the Chelmno camp near Lodz.

Erikl we need your question!!
