How did Fifth Third Bank get its name?
The name Fifth Third Bank comes from the merger of two large Cincinnati-based banks, the Fifth National Bank of Cincinnati and the Third National Bank of Cincinnati. In most mergers, only one name survives although U.S. business history is full of companies that adopted some form of joint name. The entire history of the bank includes its formation as the Bank of the Ohio Valley in 1858. Thus, the bank will celebrate its 150th anniversary in continuous operation in 2008. The unusual Fifth Third name has been used creatively by the bank, including using 5/3 as a designated, special customer and employee recognition holiday (May 3, known as Fifth Third Day), as well as for the domain name of the bank's website (www.53.com).

Who built the house of parliament in London?
After a fire that ravaged much of the Parliament house architect Charles Barry was awarded the duty to rebuild. Rebuilding did not start until 1840 and took approximately 30 years. Mr. Barry also had help from Augustus Pugin who was a leading authority in Gothic style and who actually became the lead on the project after Mr. Barry died. Pugin had most of his influence on the decoration and furnishings of the Parliament building.

Assuming the length of 7 inches as the radius of a circle that the tip of the minute hand traces around a conventional clock, the tip's speed is one revolution per hour. One revolution, in this case, is a distance of 2*pi*radius (Circumference = 2*pi*r), which would be 14*pi. So the tip is traveling 14*pi inches per hour.
Since you want to know the time taken by the tip to travel a given distance (132 inches - make sure to keep your units consistent!), use the formula Distance = Rate*Tme. Solving for time gives Time = Distance/Rate. The total time is given by the total distance (132 inches) divided by the rate of travel, 14*pi inches per hour. This works out to 132/(14*pi) hrs, which in reduced terms is 66/(7*pi) hrs. In decimal form, this is approximately 3.0012 hrs, which is 3 hrs, 0 mins, 4.35 secs.

The double switch is at least a century old; because early records are sparse, it is probably impossible to pin down who first used it.

Player-manager Clark Griffith brought himself in as a relief pitcher in the eighth inning, but put himself in the number eight spot in the order replacing the catcher; at the same time he brought in a new catcher in the pitcher's number nine spot.

What is the longest street in London?
According to a BBC article (see link below), it's Rotherhithe Street. But Rotherhithe Street is about 1.5 miles long, so that seems unlikely. In the north of London Green Lanes stretches from Newington Green in Stoke Newington N16 all the way up to its junction with Ridge Avenue in Winchmore Hill, N21. At a distance of about 7.5 miles, this makes it a candidate for the longest street. However, in the relatively recent past the stretch that runs through Wood Green has come to be known as High Street, only resuming the Green Lanes name at the borough boundary between Enfield & Haringey. The stretch of Green Lanes from Newington Green up to the point when it becomes High Road for a while measures 3.2 miles. So, even that part is longer than Rotherhithe Street.
