GAA County Nicknames:
Down: “The Mournemen”
The Down hurling team are affectionately called either The Mournemen or The Ardsmen, depending on the day that’s in it.
Day Joke of the Week:
“Dad I’m cold!”… “Well go and stand in the corner it’s 90 degrees!”
Seanfhocail na Seachtain:
“Ní haithne go haontíos.”
“You don’t know someone until you live with them.”
This or That:
Pick between the two items below and see if you’re right.
Which is larger: The circumference of the Earth or the coastline of Canada?
On This Day: On this day in 1957 at the Windscale Nuclear Power Station in England. This is the power station renamed Selafied but same nuclear power. The fallout from the Windscale fire is believed to have caused a cluster of birth defects to young women who as children had all been in the same class in school in Co. Louth. The risk to Ireland remains the same today.
Brain Teaser:
A father told his three sons he would die soon and he needed to decide which one of them to give his property to. He said, “Go to the market and buy something that is large enough to fill my bedroom, but small enough to fit in your pocket. From this, I will decide which of you is the wisest and worthy enough to inherit my land.” They all went to the market, and each came back with a different item. The father told his sons to come into his bedroom one at a time and try to fill up his bedroom with their item. The first son came in and put some pieces of cloth he bought and laid them across the room, but it barely covered the floor. The second son came in and laid some hay on the floor, but there was only enough to cover half the floor. The third son came in and showed his father what he bought. He wound up getting the property. What did the third son show his father?
Answers to this week’s puzzles:
‘This or That’: Canada’s coastline, which is 126,000 miles long, which is five times the Earth’s circumference.
Brain Teaser: A box of matches. Whenever he lit a match, it filled the room with light.
