I believe the change was made because many in the DC area were worried that "bullets" sent the wrong message in the Murder capital of the US.

More christmas trivia....

The poem commonly known as The Night Before Christmas was originally titled:

A Visit from St. Nicholas?


Where are the next Summer and Winter Olympics to be held and when?

Just an aside

I believe the change was made because many in the DC area were worried that "bullets" sent the wrong message in the Murder capital of the US.

More christmas trivia....

The poem commonly known as The Night Before Christmas was originally titled:

Hey, it's not the murder capital of the world anymore!

Although, if things keep going the way that they have been, it may be again soon!

And, just to vent--so the word 'bullets' sends the wrong message but 'Redskins' (the name of the NFL football team here) doesn't?

 

[RomanHans]

Man, I hate posting right below my own post! Isn't someone going to throw out another question?

 

[RomanHans]

A Visit from St. Nicholas?


Where are the next Summer and Winter Olympics to be held and when?

Oh, I guess these need to be answered first.

2004 Summer Olympics--Athens, Greece
2006 Winter Olympics--Torino, Italy

Name at least one of the original partners in GRP Records (the record label).
