16. Thomas Savory invented a steam “engine.” Thomas Newcomen invented the first steam engine which could be applied to real world applications.

17. Thornton Wilder's 1942 Pulitzer Prize play is “Our Town.” He also won the Pulitzer Prize for a novel (?). He is the only person to do so.

19. Vietnam

22. Larkspur – Labor (moles)

23. Horsepower – BTW James Watt improved Thomas Newcomen’s steam engine.

24. Since 1966 one, being a Catholic American, can now eat red meat on Friday if and only if they select another form of voluntary self-denial and personal penance thus avoiding being sinful. It is a hard and fast Catholic “rule” that no red meat shall be consumed on Good Friday, Ash Wednesday, and all Fridays during Lent. It was the American Bishops who relaxed the no red meat on Fridays “rule.” However, I doubt many Catholics are even aware of the requirement of substituting it with another form of self-denial and personal penance. More orthodox Catholics view Friday as a day of penance. Abstinence from meat on Fridays throughout the year has never been removed from Roman law.

Oh my! I would not want you make such an extreme act of self-denial. Enjoy your broccoli. For you a substitution of a pious or charitable act will suffice.
