Hint, please.... Maybe whether a unique quartet or not. That may or may not help.... LOL!

Hint #1 - what they have in common does not refer to a land mass.

intenze -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (1/29/2010 2:43:58 AM)
caucuses? no wait I think that is only Iowa and Louisianna...eh I will try it....(((((((fluffy)))))

Hint #2 - What these have in common occurred in the early 1920's.

LanceHughes -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (1/29/2010 8:15:22 AM)
First 4 states to have Union organizations of one-type or t'other?

fluffypet61 -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (1/29/2010 8:29:53 AM)
no - not land mass - see Hint #1

LanceHughes -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (1/29/2010 8:58:53 AM)
So, am I to take it that the answer is NOT of the form, "Location of this-or-that event or physical item"? If so, what a very, very strong clue. If so, what a very, very difficult answer.

fluffypet61 -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (1/29/2010 9:20:54 AM)
Clue #3 - These numbers are associated with the names. 2 - Massachusetts 4 - Iowa 13 - Virginia 14 - New Jersey

Battleships sunk in the early 20s?

LanceHughes -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (1/29/2010 9:35:24 AM)
Hint #2 is sorta misleading because both Mass. and Iowa ratified the 19th amendment to the Constitution in 1919. Texas was #3. 19th amendment is commonly called "Women's Right to Vote."

LanceHughes -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (1/29/2010 9:50:00 AM)
OOPS! Got my count wrong......

LanceHughes -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (1/29/2010 9:56:41 AM)
MusicMystery you go ahead - I couldn't have found out that they were used as target practice without you. Besides, I have no quartet in hand and need to get to work.

fluffypet61 -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (1/29/2010 10:39:11 AM)
Yes, these 4 US Battleships, that served during World War I, were converted to be used for target practice, both land and aerial, by the US military in the early 1920's. The designators for these ships were: BB -2 - USS Massachusetts BB - 4 - USS Iowa BB -13 - USS Virginia BB - 14 - USS New Jersey It may be of interest that BB-62 is also named USS New Jersey and is now a museum ship at Camden, NJ. http://www.battleshipnewjersey.org/

Good quartet, fluffy! Lance, thanks, but we'll wait. I need to get to work too.

LanceHughes -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (1/29/2010 11:50:22 AM)
Quickie break lets me write: West Virginia Illinois Louisiana Nevada Listed from East to West which has nothing to do with commonality, except to let you know that the original order does matter.

Musicmystery -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (1/29/2010 3:56:47 PM)
Well, since she's from West Virginia, I'm guessing.... fluffy's vacation plans?

LanceHughes -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (1/29/2010 4:10:56 PM)
WHY would she not come to Colorado (and visit me in Denver) if she's going all the way to Nevada? And besides, W.V. was NOT first on the original list. I guess I have to spell out Hint #1 above: First four states on a chronologically ordered list of states that .......

Musicmystery -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (1/29/2010 7:31:59 PM)
Oooh! Places with lots of environmental pollution.... W. Virginia--coal, Illinois--wind and windbag politicians, Louisiana--hurricane pollution, Nevada--Yucca Mt..........
