In three60's defence (and i think i don't make much of a difference, hence the different clan tags), he probably meant it on a ':P' way instead of a ' :mad: ' way.
Just my humble opinion on this matter and yes calling somebody a moron isn't allowed on here so therefore he did something wron, if you would look like it in that way.

Anyway, the question:
Who was Hitlers successor?

I'm calling myself a moron... no harm in that.

 Didn't he hand over power to Goebbels?

You guys have no sense of humor.  You need to go to the Jane/Kiwi school of jokes.

And the answer is Donitz, I had a lecture on Germany during WWII in my history class this morning :P

Goebbels was the Minister of Propaganda, he and his wife commited suicide on may the 1st after Hitler commited suicide on april the 30th and after Goebbels wife had killed al their children.

The classic "HOLLYWOOD" sign has a lot of history behind it.  What was its original purpose and what did the sign originally say?

It was for an Indian music company called Bollywood. An unfortunate mistake resulted in the installation of an H instead of a B, and the film industry has never been the same since.

Yeah three60, and btw it's customary to spell it morone.  As in "that guy is a real morone, what a looser"


...And this MUST been spoken in a high-pitched tone, followed by the words "Nyuck-nyuck!" and slapping of your own face it a downward direction....

Ummm, it said "HOLLYWOOD?"

It was an ad for, in fact, Hollywood!

I did actually get the joke but thought swa hadn't. :P

Goebbels was the Minister of Propaganda, he and his wife commited suicide on may the 1st after Hitler commited suicide on april the 30th and after Goebbels wife had killed al their children.

Oh I see what I did - Doenitz became President of the Reich and Goebbels Chancellor, and I had Hitler down as Reich Chancellor only rather than both.

That's very vague lol.  I was looking for something more specific.  (And the Hollywood sign originally said something else for a few years.)

Bonus if you can tell me the year the original sign was demolished and a new steel sign was constructed.

Yep, the original sign said "HOLLYWOODLAND"

Either Mxy or swa can go since you both got each half of the answer.
