According to the “Fair Labor Standards Act” in 1938 it was set at .25 cents per hour. I don’t know if this is what you have It comes from my research during my time as a union steward.

I am aiming for a definite negative balance, J…… You have entirely too much time on your hands….. Your answers for questions 2, 3, and 4 and on target and correct….. That’s Three (3) points for J.J….. The quiz has only been up for a day J., give me a break….. At this rate, I’ll have to start posting two a week or make them really, really hard……
September 17th, 2007 at 5:14 pm
Or you can do like me and give up for a while.
September 18th, 2007 at 6:44 am
Okay, we still have question one (1) unanswered…… That was the only one I actually knew without looking at the answer…… Any other history buffs out there?…….. Hint tomorrow if no answer today…..

George Washington, You asked for lunacy.
Adam, also was a first.
Or maybe it was a John Smith.
September 19th, 2007 at 8:58 am
Let’s see, Robo, there was a John Smith around at that time, but, according to DNA tests, he was not the father (Ha)…… Are you looking for negative points?…. I can help you in that department…..
Here’s the first hints about the first American born on American soil: She was female and her first name is the same as one of the States in the U.S…….

Hmm…
Would it be: Miss. Ouri? Or Miss. Issippi?

I know “No Internet Search Engines” But can I consult my old History Teacher? I’ll wait for your answer before submitting my guess.
September 19th, 2007 at 10:16 am
Hm-m-m-m, seems Izard is after a few negative points, also….. Both your answers are “Miss”es…… Wait a minute, J.J., let me get this straight: You are going to wait until I give the answer before you make a guess?…… You’re looking for negative points, too, Huh?…….
September 19th, 2007 at 3:34 pm
What I’m sayin is I have found the answer, but I had to go to an outside source. Sooo………….

OK I’m gonna take a shot. #1 Virginia Dare Born 1587 Her parents were part of the ill fated colony of Sir Walter Raleigh (he was such a stupid Git) That disappeared soon there after.

You got it, J.J……. Too bad I wasn’t offering bonus points for one person getting them all…… So-o-o, that ends this quiz with J.J. the Top No-See-Um….. That’s Four (4) Points to your credit…… Should help you close the gap on the leaders….. Until next time – Don’t De-Evolve too much……
