I know, but that's because I was curious enough to look it up so I recuse myself from this one.

OK, it's "Prudence of Vicars" Why I don't know, nor is Google your friend in this case AFAIK. Inappropriate, too: I knew quite a number of 'em who are anything but prudent.
OH, then.
p.s. When they pass in processions, they are measured in Revs per Minute.

Names of the first British, American and Russian women in space.
Re: Trivia Question of the Day
I believe the first woman in space was Valentina Tereshkova, a Russian. The other two I dont know and anyway they were not first.
Been in data comm since we formed the bits individually with a Morse key.
Re: Trivia Question of the Day
The question springs to mind because I was at a trivia night and this question came up. given the geeky nature of the clientele in the place, I was gobsmacked to discover I was the only one who got that question right. It was also notable that it was the first and only time that our work trivia team ever won a round at this place, normally we were middle-of-the-road, but we nailed that round.
Also interesting that all the Americans in the room could name the first American woman in space but not the other two.

Helen Sharman for the Brit lady??
Re: Trivia Question of the Day
As I've asked for three bits of information I don't know whether I should say "yay" or "nay" to what's come through so far. I'll call time in a few more hours if no one manages to name all three.
Re: Trivia Question of the Day
OK, we did get two out of three. Valentina Tereshkova and Helen Sharman, the missing one was Sally Ride.
OH declared.
