I am trying to figure out "Who is buried in Grants Tomb?" for a test I have tonight.
Any ideas? |

Grant and his wife's remains are interred in Grant's tomb, but since he is in a above ground crypt, he is not buried.

Now now, we don't do your homework for you. Go to Altavista and type in Grant's Tomb and hit search.
Clue: The person buried in Grant's Tomb may be called Grant.
Another clue: It is not James K Polk.

By the way...it took me, literally, 45 seconds to find that using Google.
Google Rules!

Great One - What kind of test are you taking where one of the questions would ask you "Who is buried in Grant's tomb"?.
What are some other questions:
- What is the color of Custer's white horse?
- What weighs more: 100 pounds of rocks or 100 pounds of feathers?
- Where did the Mars probe land?
- When was the War of 1812?
- On what day do Americans celebrate the 4th of July?

Visiting my sister at her new job as a bartender recently, she asked, "What's in that?" when I ordered a gin and tonic.

Hey JeffG, I'm pretty sure Americans don't actually celebrate the 4th of July. Don't throw Great One off like that just in case it is on his test. ;o)

It was an extra credit question for a criminal justice class.
I just knew you guys love stuff like that bit of trivia. I studied all day and my brain couldn't handle looking up something so, well... trivial.

JeffG: I don't think those Mars probes ever actually land on Mars; they seem to prefer floating off course into distant space.

Teachers & Prof's are still using "Who is buried in Grants Tomb?" as an extra credit question? I thought that went out of style over 20 years ago. ; )
