When were amusement park bumper cars invented?
Coney Island had some -guessing from car design and period styling, that looked like Circa l934. The Lusse Auto Scooters ( popularily called Dodgem cars, but Dodgem is a trade name) dated to about l947 and lasted for the duration of the Park! They went out around l973. Turn Ya Wheel! Everybody called them Dodgems or bumper cars, never Lusse Auto Scooters.

Cost of computers in 1950's and 1960's?
the cost was prohibitive for anything other than Government agencies and big business operations. the equipment was sprawling and spread out and specialized operators had to be trained, etc. keypunch was commonly used. anyhow this was big bucks stuff- not for the man in the street. there were a few (Hobby) analog computers made by various manufacturers as electronic kits but never really caught on. Calculators are another matter and boomed in the early seventies, even the Army C.O.E. gave up on slipsticks in I believe l973- as general issue, anyhow.
What is the exposition of Snow White?
Robin Hood is not in any sense a Fairy Tale. the only possibility it might be adapted to one was a l973 animal cartoon by the Disney stable- but the original, no. There are no supernatual elements in the story. It makes gangsterism look right and shows law enforcement officers ( the Sheriff of Nottingham, certainly was one of these) in a negative light. Certainly it is not a fairy tale.
Has a women ever been injured or killed by her unborn baby?
Yes, but not precisely as you state it. Both Woman and Child can die in childbirth. to use a somewhat sick analogy- both the Booster and second stage can go off at once. I once heard a horrific joke comparing a woman dying in childbirth with a (Bomb scare) (They never play the other side of that tape - CD Bomb test- don"t wanna scare people. there had just been not a bomb test- but an announcement that a member of the British royal family had just had a child and the announcer said- Mother and Child are doing well- then a drunk made the inane comment about the Bomb scare! This was in a restaurant at Coney island in about l973-74

Who married Tiny Tim?
There are two people named Tiny Tim. one is the Dickens character in ( A Christmas Carol, whose proper name is Tim Cratchet. He is evidentally a midget-hence the name and is crippled besides. the other , and probably better-known Tiny Tim was the freakish recording artist ( real name Herbert Khaury) who was married to a Miss Vicky ( cannot recall her last name) on the Johnny Carson ( Tonight) show a long time ago-maybe in l973, he had already past peaked in being a popular fad. This Tiny Tim died a few years ago and it is said his Ukulele was buried with him. The Dickensian character Tiny Tim does NOT die in the story.

What is the oldest gay bar?
Very difficult to answer this question, as the Ancient Greeks and Romans didn't keep too many records. One of the most famous 'early' gay bars in the US was the Stonewall Inn in Greenwich Village in New York City. It was famous because that's where gay people finally said to themselves, 'We're not going to take it any more!' and fought back against the police bullies. This was on June 28th, 1969 and the reason Pride Day is generally celebrated on or near that date.This is accepted as a major flash point in the start of modern Gay Liberation, which succeeded in getting laws discriminating against gays changed in many countries. Other bars of lesser fame than the Stonewall Inn have existed in the decades prior to the 60's as well as outside the USA. Many otherwise "not gay" bars would cater to - or tolerate - a gay clientele so might not have been considered a "gay bar" precisely. It may be that a bar switched from a partly gay crowd to a mainly gay crowd, and you would have to decide at what point that bar had turned "gay".But again, there were definitely establishments where gays congregated long before the 60's. Germany's Weimar Republic period (1919-1933), for example, had its fair share of edgy/artsy drinking establishments, as represented in film such as Cabaret, the 1972 musical based on the 1930's works of gay author Christopher Isherwood.
