Okay, that is true, but what I was really looking for is that they were all part of the February Sisters at KU. A group of 30 women who took over one ofthe campus buildings in order to demand changes for women on campus. And they won.

Your turn sappa!

Hmm... perhaps my Google-Fu is working as well as you think it is. ;-)

Here are four more to ponder... probably as easy as the previous lists I've put up:

Siemens AG

General Motors

Kodak

Nestle

That's not exactly what I was thinking, and it's probably more of a coincidence. But, the rules set up front don't negate your answer, so it is acceptable.

I was looking for a more obscure common thread; they are all current sponsors of exhibits at EPCOT.

FullCircle... please do the honors and hit us up with a list of your own. :-)

No, but you could use them to make a very inexpensive version of Mr. Potato Head.

Can you put them all together and make a tattoo gun, lol?

Well I'm lost. Anyone else?

No, but people with homemade tattoos might find them handy.

I can see how three of the four items could be useful for making a sort of stamper to apply a home-made tattoo. I just don't know how the fourth item fits in.

Don't get hung up on making the tattoos. Just imagine who might have them and what they might want to do.

Drawing a blank here. I know no one in person that has a tattoo (at least, none that have told me or shown me that they have one). I've also not been interested in them, so I've never bothered to learn anything about them. I guess I'm out of this quartet.

Something to do with drugs? Man I'm stumped. I'm trying not to Google it. Hell I don't even know HOW to Google a spoon, potato, dental floss and felt-tipped pen together. Ways to escape from a prison? No...... Killing was already touched on....hmmmmm

Yup, I'm stumped.

Ways to escape from a prison?

Bingo. According to QI, a BBC quiz show that FullCircle (who confide the answer to me, cause s/he won't be around much for the holidays) saw, these are all things that people used to escape from prison.

spoon: Ibrahim Krasmiqi used spoons to break through the crumbling plaster in the wall of his cell in Milan’s San Vittore jail.

dental floss: Vincenzo Curcio used it to saw through the soft-iron bars of his cell.

potato: John Dillinger carved a fake gun out of a potato and used it to bluff his way out of prison

felt tip: A Texan prisoner colored his white uniform green, convincing guards that he was an orderly in the prison hospital

OK, that's great, but I'm confused as to how that fits in with tattoos.

Prisoners, I believe, often have homemade tattoos.

NaiveTempest, it's your turn to post a quartet.

OH MY GAWD! I WON! (runs up to Bob Barker aka dcnovice) Which Showcase do I get? LMAO, anywho -

Well people in prison yards often make tattooing devices, and some of those things reminded me of that. I had an aunt who worked in a prison, so my mind keep gravitating in that direction.

I'm surprised about getting that right though! I thought that dental floss was baned in prisons. I kept thinking of weapons - potato for a silencer or poisoned food, pen to stab, floss to strangle, and spoon to choke/ poison (feed poison or just shove it down a persons throat, mwhahahahahaha!).

Okay here's four random ones:

money
powder
blood
tears
