Some questions worth asking


Why is it illegal to pump your own gas in New Jersey?
 
What is the name of the little man with the suit and top hat from the game Monopoly?
 
Who invented the deck of playing cards and when?
 
In poker, what beats what?
 
When playing cards, why are a pair of aces and a pair of eights sometimes called a “Dead Man’s Hand”?
 
What exactly is numbers running?
 
Why is a rabbit’s foot considered lucky?
 
Just some food for thought…and maybe material for the next quiz.  At the very least, you have some nice conversation starters here.
