+CT Trampers Posted February 18, 2003 Share Posted February 18, 2003 Hello- Not sure if this has been mentioned before, did a search on Trivial Pursuit and nothing came up. Was playing the newest version of Trivial Pursuit last night, and there was a question to which the answer was Geocaching! Not sure of the exact text of the question, but will go check tonight if anyone is interested. Pretty cool, IMO. Quote Link to comment
+BrownMule & Jackrabbit Posted February 18, 2003 Share Posted February 18, 2003 That is cool. Before long Geocaching will be in websters. _________________________________________________________ On the other hand, you have different fingers. Quote Link to comment
+The Leprechauns Posted February 18, 2003 Share Posted February 18, 2003 It isn't in Webster's online dictionary, but geocaching is starting to show up in other online dictionaries and encyclopedias! x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x If there's no accounting for stupidity, then why do I need to file a tax return?

Cermak Posted April 19, 2003 Share Posted April 19, 2003 We played the new T.P. for the first time tonight and that was our questions. We couldn't believe it. As far as getting into the dictionary, I think it stands as good a chance as any word as far as Websters reasons to add a word go-- http://www.m-w.com/service/howwordsgetin.htm Quote Link to comment
Stallion-7 Posted April 21, 2003 Share Posted April 21, 2003 Im in the military, used their scout/plgr GPS's. Got my own Etrex Vista for hunting 2 years ago. Nerver looked into it for much else till one night my wife and I were over to some friends for dinner. We decided to play Trivia Pursuit (New Version). The question came up like "What do you call it when you plot locations on the ground all over and use a GPS to go find/search for them?" Hmm, My friend and I both use GPS's and didn't know the answer. "GEOCACHING" He (Exarmycpt) looked it up, now we're both hooked!! See us on Idaho Geocachers If you hide it, I'll find it!!!! EVENTUALLY... Quote Link to comment
+Marky Posted April 21, 2003 Share Posted April 21, 2003 quote:now we're both hooked!! That would make for fun conversation at an event cache. Cacher 1: 'So, how did you get into geocaching?'. Cacher 2: 'Well, we were playing Trivial Pursuit and...' --Marky "All of us get lost in the darkness, dreamers learn to steer with a backlit GPSr" Quote Link to comment

I think a more precise answer to that would be waypointing or geodashing. That question doesn't mention anything about hiding containers, that's where the caching in geocaching comes from. But it's still good press so... ---- Duct tape is like the Force. It has a light side and a dark side, and it holds the universe together. Quote Link to comment
