Oldest Things Quiz

I'm from Colorado and missed Elway. I… can't look at myself now!

I didn't get any in the second column. Way too many America-centric questions.

Maybe the word 'licensed' tripped me up here, but Frapin has been making Cognac since 1270, Schöllnitzer in Germany has been around since 1524 and Lucas Bols, the Dutch jenever-manufacturer, was founded in 1575. Frapin and Bols are still active, I'm not sure about Schöllnitzer. .

i am also from CO and also missed Elway, its all about TEBOW.

Okay, where to start. Prostitute should be accepted as the oldest profession also, not just prostitution. The Hudson's Bay Company also goes by HBC and The Bay, so those answers should be accepted.

I wrote prostitute, hooker, whore, sex....I screwed the pooch on that one, obviously.

"Prostitution" is not a profession ("An occupation, such as law, medicine, or engineering...) "prostitute" is. If your occupation is practicing law, you're called a lawyer. If your occupation is practicing prostitution, you're called a prostitute.

the bay and hbc shouldn't be allowed as the company is formally known as Hudson's bay company, the bay is just a branch of it.

Prostitution isn't the oldest profession, but nice joke. It's more hunter or fisher.

or trader.
