484018
The term "alley oop" derives from French allez-oop, the cry of a circus acrobat about to leap.  The "Official History of the NFL" book says that the term "Alley Oop" was first used to describe what is now known as the Hail Mary pass in football, but that eventually the term became used in basketballball. The NFL history book cites the origin of the term to the comic strip caveman, Alley Oop created by cartoonist V. T. Hamlin in the early 1930s, because sportscasters believed those throws looked like Alley Oop in action. Hamlin picked up the term "allez-oop" serving in the Army in France during WW I.

If his nickname was "Tuck", it could be that his LAST name was Tucker, not his first name.  Try doing your search using a last name of Tucker.

I watched map man a few weeks ago and he managed to answer this question. The answer is, because London is expanding so rapidly, not all the streets get named immediately. When the maps are produced the cartographers then have to name the streets themselves, usually after themselves or family members. This can cause great confusion when trying to discover where in London you actually are if you have a map which is over 5 years old. These streets are knnown as the Phantom Streets.

Alrighty! This one has been floating around for a very long time and this is the Third instance of the same riddle i've seen. I will cover it accordingly and supply the Answer so bare with me\n\nThe Riddle!\nCorrect Version....\nIn all instances of this riddle you notice that the title states "Find the Error" , Or "Find The Error For Me", or "Can you find The Error".  The Title is the KEY.. Notice how it just ask you to "Find The Error" it does NOT however state "What" kind of Error.. This is pretty much the meat and potatoes of the Trick Question..\n\nIncorrect Versions...\nNow there are some instances that actualy go as far as to say " Find the Error in The Alphabet". These titles are incorrect and defeat the purpose of the Riddle.. Fact of the matter is There IS NO ERROR in the Alphabet, or should NOT be.. But since the title was posted wrong, this confuses the Readers to the REAL problem and answer..\nSome have even "Intentionaly" distorted the alphabet by adding a "0" into the mix instead of the "O". Now this is tricky, yes, but once again. Incorrect, and defeats the purpose of "Misdirection"\n\nAlso another mistake people make is they "Repost" The riddle by hand INSTEAD of just copyiing and pasting it  the way they should. So it gets distorted as it moves on. This case is NO exception. The mistake made in this instance is with the sentence \n"find the error. it's impossible" <- this is the incorrect version\nit should be\n"find the error. its impossible"<-This is the Correct version \nNotice how in the "Correct Version" of the Riddle, I Intentionaly Neglected the Apostrophe between the "t" and "s" :) That is because THIS is the Error the reader is supposed to find. It's a grammatical Error NOT an Alphabetical.\n\nThe Answer!\nThe Error Is Not In The Alphabet\nNow since we know what the Real Version Is, let's cover the Answer.  As said.. the Title is a "Trick" Question.. when stated correctly, the Reader "Assumes" that the error WANTED is in the Alphabet , even though it was not Directly Stated, so you search the entire Alphabet for Anything that could be possibly seen as "Wrong" but this is intentional  Miss direction..\n\nThe Error SHOULD be in the actual question ABOVE the alphabet list .\n\n"find the error. its impossible" \n\nNotice how in "Its impossible", there is no apostrophe between the "t" and "s".. At least when this riddle is posted "Correctly", there should be "NO Apostrophe"..\nThe absences of the apostrophe is the "Error" of which the reader is supposed to find..\nConclusion..\nWhen you repost this riddle be sure you just have the title read "Find The Error" and try not to convert it in any way.\nAlso never try to retype the riddle by hand unless you KNOW exactly how it's stated. People already tend to make grammatical errors when typing as is and others tend to make NO mistakes whatsoever , either way , this this distorts the Riddle...
