General Knowledge Quiz #29

i dont know, when i red it at first, i was a bit confused, and then i red it again outloud, and it feel familiar, and then it struck me - elvis!

I got it and I never really liked Elvis.

It's one of his iconic sayings kept alive by thousands of Elvis impersonators. I loved Elvis when I was young and I still do. (We recently went to the funeral of my husband's 94 y/o aunt, and after all the religious songs and the eulogy, the family gave her final send off to one of her favorite Elvis songs. I loved it.)

"Return to Sender"...? :)

I tried Elvis for neverland ranch and was surprised when I got another answer out of it, having not read the thank you very much question.

Don't know why my first thought was Elvis not Jackson

red??

It's a really common thing for people to say so it doesn't make sense to be here. It's like asking who said, "Hi, how are you?"

I realized it was Elvis pretty quickly, but I also heard Han Solo in my head in Empire Strikes Back when C-3PO walked in on Han kissing Leia and tells Han he's isolated the reverse powerflux cuplink. As Leia slips away Han says "Thank you...thank you very much!" In a sarcastic voice. I put Han Solo as a joke, but then put Elvis...however I can understand why people are upset at the vagueness of that question.

I thought of Latka/Andy Kaufman first, but then I remembered he doesn't repeat "thank you."

Thanks to stargate sg1, i remembered who the father of Zeus is.

BYU!

Paw should be accepted, and please also Independence Declaration.

literally nobody calls it the Independence Declaration

Just me translating it back to English apparently ...

I second for "paw"

Also accept feet?

People of my generation probably remember them because of all the publicity surrounding celebrities insuring various parts of their bodies with the company - Jimmy Durante's nose, Betty Grable's legs, Keith Richards' hands, Dolly Parton's...you get the picture. It became the rage for publicists to claim that their clients "notable features" were insured by Lloyds of London.

You have the most interesting stories, ander. I've never heard of people insuring their body parts.

I owe my awareness of Lloyd's of London to political satirist Tom Lehrer. In his song "We Will All Go Together When We Go" (lauding the wonders of mutual nuclear annihilation), one stanza goes...

We will all go together when we go

All suffused with an incandescent glow

No one will have the endurance

To collect on their insurance

Lloyd's of London will be loaded when they go

Even I said Thank you, thank you very much.

Probably everybody has. Why single out Presley, and can you prove that he said so?

I grew up watching him live on TV and he nearly always said "Thank you very much". I saw at least one performance where he said, "Thank you, thank you very much." You can find it on Youtube. As I stated previously, it was one of his iconic sayings said in his own unique way, now often repeated by Elvis impersonators.

Tried wolf, werewolf, and various breeds of dog before trying 'dog'

I read famous documentary, instead of famous document and typed Attenborough.. (as i read the words i, could totally hear his voice. "In the course of human events..." "there comes a time.."

I tried leg, limb and paw for foot, but they were not accepted...

I beleive that the question about Elvis needs a rewrding. At first my mind automatically jumped to Johnny Cash, and yes he did say, "Thank you, thank you very much", which was all the question specifies, heck I've even said that line. It just doesn't give enough specifics to narrow down the answer to one person.

something along the lines of "which famous Presley said...." would have been good for me!

allow ‘sleep’ and ‘sweat’?

"Thank you. Thank you very much" sounds like something that a lot of people would have said at some point.
