I was bored, so I started to post this. I'm still bored, but at least I'm occupied Hopefully, this will help someone else cure their boredom.
Don't use a search engine. Can you supply the beginning words of each of the following proverbs?
1. ___________ easy go. 2. ___________ of my enemy is my friend. 3. ___________ make good neighbors. 4. ___________ in one basket. 5. ___________ for the trees. 6. ___________ to spite your face. Read the following story and pick out the four things that don’t quite make sense.
This morning Jane had difficulty getting her young horse out of its stable. She tried to talk to him softly and persuade him to get out but nothing worked, and the beautiful Friesian would not budge. The caretaker was a bit worried because the race was to happen the next day, April 31, and the horse was showing signs of not wanting to run. It was necessary to train today, especially since tomorrow’s race would probably be the last before its retirement from competition. When the horse finally decided to walk out on the leaf-covered ground, he looked sad and depressed, and Jane finally noticed that one of his legs looked sore and that he limped a bit. She called the vet immediately. He reassured her, telling her it was nothing serious. Find the odd word in the following series, and justify your answer.
1. Houston | Miami | Montreal | Chicago | Seattle 2. Celsius | Fahrenheit | Faraday Kelvin | Reaumur 3. Eurythmics | The Cranberries | Depeche Mode | The Police | Dire Straits 4. Marco Polo | Jacques Cartier | Vasco de Gama | James Cook | Raffaello Find the word that corresponds to the definition.
1. mineralized or otherwise preserved remains or traces (such as footprints) of animals, plants, and other organisms 2. ring with a flat bottom fixed on a leather strap, usually hung from each side of a saddle to create a footrest for the rider on a riding animal 3. hard, rounded object produced by certain mollusks, primarily oysters 4. digit of the foot of a human or animal

I don't think its one of the major race horses (like the ones used for gambling). But I just assumed that with enough owners, people could make their own races.
