Totally Trivia

[CrimsonMaiden]

Because we all know we need yet another game thread...

I'll ask a trivia question, next person answers it and then asks her/his own question. It can be any type of question (movies, tv, sports, history, geography, literature, music, etc, etc). The only rule is this: NO googling unless the question has been up for over 24 hours with no answer.

(and yes, this is totally an attempt at helping my feelings of inadequacy around here)... but I thought it would be fun too (and can learn things at the same time).

Okay, on to the question (which will be an easy one for some people):

What was the name of the ship on Mystery Science Theater 3000?

A cricket chirps faster when it's warmer, but I confess I didn't know the exact calculation.

Chirps in 15 seconds plus 40 = air temperature.

Sucks when the temp is below 39
