New quartet: humans primates guinea pigs fruit bats

FullCircle -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (7/11/2009 2:16:06 PM)
It's either thumbs or the fact they are all plotting to take over the world. They are evil!

Fullcircle..................good answers but not what I was looking for...........I was thinking that we start off as humans, become apes about the teen years, move on to guinea pigs as we start needing medicine and end up as fruit bats...................but that's not the answer either lol........... Any more ideas???

No, it's Vitamin C! None of those mammals can synthesize their own! IIRC, they all have to either seek out supplementary sources or rely on their body to reconvert oxidized Vitamin C back into ascorbic acid. I believe they all have much lower Vitamin C requirements than other mammals, as well. Damn, that was a good one! I hope you play this more often.

So, did I win? Am I the current champion? I want my check right now, please!

dcnovice -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (7/13/2009 8:55:44 AM)
Panda, I'm not sure anyone solved the last quartet, but you're welcome to post a new one if you'd like.

ThatDamnedPanda -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (7/13/2009 9:16:38 AM)
No, I'm pretty sure that was the answer. I googled it last night, and I'm petty certain that was it. OK, then, here's one for the history geeks. Let's try these four. Georgia Virginia North Carolina South Carolina These four states have a number of things in common, but as far as the category I have in mind is concerned, these are (technically) the only four states that have that in common. It's not going to be the first answer that comes too mind, it's not going to be the second answer that comes to mind. It's probably not going to be the third answer. It's going to be a little complex.

Sorry Panda........I didn't realise anyone had answered but yes you are right..............well done!

papaspoppy -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (7/13/2009 3:59:10 PM)

Confederate States on the Atlantic Ocean

ThatDamnedPanda -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (7/13/2009 7:05:09 PM)
Huh. The Atlantic Ocean? I didn't realize that until you mentioned it. But no, that's not it. You're definitely barking up the right tree, but the commonality is entirely historical, not geographical. Don't give up, you're closer than you may think.

Don't feel badly, he does it pretty much better than anybody. Me included, obviously. Yours is a pretty damned good guess, too, but no. That's not it. Another one that hadn't occurred to me, though. I'm learning more from this thread than I expected!

All were British colonies and of the original thirteen colonies that rebelled against British rule

ThatDamnedPanda -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (7/13/2009 9:40:41 PM)
But what sets these four original states apart from the other nine?

BamaD -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (7/13/2009 9:46:45 PM)
They are the only four of the original 13 that were part of the Confederacy

ThatDamnedPanda -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (7/13/2009 10:15:33 PM)

O you clever dick lol..................

dcnovice -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (7/14/2009 7:02:38 AM)
Your turn to post, BamaD!
