I’m stumped…

Haha it’s really not that hard. Okay a hint. It has been the subject of many heated debates here. January 20, 1961 is a significant date in history to a lot of people who argue about it. Now you have no excuse not to get it. :p

It is if you’re not wearing one

ICOT – LOL! Well done 😀

I’m sooooooooooooooo funcused!!!!

OneOfMany and mitzvagirl, think of the classic thing which superstitious people say is bad luck if it crosses your path. Then say it a few times to yourself.

Did you try Googling that date? It was JFK’s first day in office. And as everyone who spends their time arguing about black hats knows, he was the harbinger of all that is evil, since was the first president to not wear a hat… :p

squeak-

LOL

I’ll have to check if wearing one on Shabbos is considered carrying, or do we say that ?? ???? ?? ???? ?

yitayningwut-

Thank you ?

After those great hints, I couldn’t resist jumping in, but didn’t want to give away the answer and ruin the game for those who had been playing the entire time.

(for what it’s worth, snopes claims that the Kennedy didn’t really influence men’s hats going out of style.)

Oh wow yitayningwut, I would have never thought about that. That was a really good game though!

So, who is going to start the next round? Who is next?

Interesting point you bring up…. hats indeed seem to have taken on a life of their own, but I think its OK because they carried them on their heads in the alter heim. Cats on the other hand always jump off when you stand up.

Is it manmade?

Bigger than a breadbox?

3: No mechanical/electronic components

lol oomis, we’re on to the next one
