Sadness...So Much Sadness

Nothing much happened Tuesday on the show. We gave away a prize, had weather kid, told dumb stories. We also pretty much moped around about the Buckeyes beating themselves last night against LSU in the championship game.

Nearly Impossible Trivia Question
Barry Gustin, a long-time listener, had the correct answer this morning. He takes home a California Raisins tote bag with a t-shirt, magnet, raisin snack packs, and fitness tips from celebrity trainer Valerie Waters.

Question: In what year was it first documented that raisins were sun-dried grapes?

Answer: 1490 B.C.

We do the contest everyday at 6:40 a.m. so get ready to call 387-WDCM(9326).

I Never Said That!
Things never actually said in classic movies. Apparently these are mostly myths or mis-quotes.

  • Dracula: I want to suck your blood! Used for humor in Tim Burton's 1994 Ed Wood.
  • Star Wars: "May the force be with you" Obi never said it, but Han Solo did!
  • Cagney: "You dirty rat!" He did say "Mmm, that dirty, double-crossin' rat"!
  • Snow White: "Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the fairest of them all?" Actual quote: Magic Mirror on the Wall, who is the Fairest one of all?"
  • Shatner: "Beam Me Up Scotty" This one is kind of a reach: "Scotty, Beam me up!"
  • Apollo 13: "Houston, we have a problem Also sometimes misquoted as: "Houston, we've got a problem." Both are wrong. The correct historical phrase was: "Houston, we've had a problem."
