when the magazine originated it was only done every 3 months. thus the birth of a legacy with gay and straight men alike.

Maybe they switched to "GQ" when they went monthly, keeping the brand name, so to speak. Besides, it does suit the era better.

that's actually fairly highly likely. (wow...4 words that end in -ly...i bet i couldn't do that again!)

"Life" magazine is called "Life" because when it wsa first published, they sold lifetime subscriptions. A friend of mine's grandmother had one of the lifetime subscriptions until she craoked.

I wonder if people will forget that KFC stands for Kentucky Fried Chicken...

You know the company 3M? They make Post-It-Notes and Scotch tape among other things. What does 3M stand for?

(I know the answer...it's a trivia question)

Just in the right place at the right time. And as a former Minnesota native, destined to answer.

...and while we're at it, "Nabisco" is short for National Bicuit Company.
