Evidently I've missed one pgrmdave; I got my information from this site:

They only listed the Lumbee in the L column. I did some extra research and found information on the Lenape, a tribe local to the Delaware region. At any rate, there are at least two tribes with the first letter being L, live and learn.

Good to hear from you friend, would the Lenape Valley High School be in Delaware by chance?

Re: Trivia teaser

Nope - Lenape is in Northern NJ, near the Delaware river (well, not very far away from it at least).

Re: Trivia teaser

I'm going with the 5 incher Infy. One of those giant African hissing roaches.

And some more Trivia:

1) How many Salem witches were pressed to death, in addition to those hanged??

2) What were astronauts unable to do in space, leading them to ask for less gas in their soda pop? Yes Jay-Qu! Belch it is!

3) What venerable institution, founded in 1660, is the oldest scientific organization in Britain?

4) What N-word, popularized by Nabokov, denotes immature insects that do not have a pupal stage?

Speaking of Trivia, lets not forget the 6th Anniversary quizzes!
