Captbob61 Mar 22, 2002	It won't be too long until "The Beatles" applies to this one. Hang on, Paul & Ringo!
dumbell Aug 22, 2002	the only reason it will not apply to The Beatles one day is because the question states I am a rock group that HAS, and not i am a rock group that HAD. Good teaser.
ironmaiden980 Feb 01, 2003	This teaser is word-for-word on funtrivia.com
jimbo Apr 22, 2003	Going by the sorts of answers you mainly get in this category I was expecting the answer to be "I am a rock group".
Fhqwhgads Jan 14, 2005	BRAVOOOOO
sweetime May 31, 2005	yeah i was expecting the answer to be "you are a rock group that has 4 members, all of whom are dead, one of which was assasinated"

bradon182001 Aug 13, 2007	Caught me, too. Really really good teaser, well thought out.
4princesses Aug 13, 2007	I thought for sure that the comments would be about how easy it was. I didn't find anything tricky about this one today.
doehead Aug 13, 2007	Heard this one before,or I might have been fooled.
Yorkshire-Boy Aug 13, 2007	nice...didn't get it at all, then read the answer and went duh!
Tracey2209 Aug 13, 2007	This was super easy, and I'm not even American! Fun teaser tho!
kirstydh Aug 13, 2007	lol i dont get!!
FatHead Aug 13, 2007	At first I thought "the Beatles", then I looked at the category.
auntiesis Aug 13, 2007	Very easy, but nevertheless entertaining. Made me smile.
Scitchr Aug 13, 2007	I thought it was the Dead Kennedys. Good one.
Spammy Aug 13, 2007	SMART
rosekranskids Aug 13, 2007	Best one I've heard in a long time. BRAVO!!! I didn't get it but I knew it was tricky!!
drickanderson Aug 13, 2007	very nice ...
sugarbear60 Aug 13, 2007	very clever this was a good one.
2ndhandrose Aug 13, 2007	GOOD ONE I answered "The Grateful Dead" Getting Second Tea Now. Shoulda Thunk Harder
GrandmaB Aug 13, 2007	Boy, was I out in left field with this one....I thought it might be a geologic answer, as in the four types of rocks, with "metamorphic" being converted (assasinated) from another kind of rock. Really liked this one. Thanks.
chaskey Aug 13, 2007	Quite clever! I didn't get it, but I did enjoy reading the answer.
Chellie1911 Aug 13, 2007	im sorry - but i really didnt get this at all! - im either thick - or just dont know wt bout mount rushmoor - but i thought it would be about the differentrocks ( sedemetry, metamorpic, and the others lol)
UgotTeasers120 Aug 13, 2007	i thought beatles
lilredc5 Aug 13, 2007	Every teaser there are a few comments that say 'that was so easy'. No matter what the teaser is. I always read that as 'I am so much smarter than the rest of you and I say that because i am starved for validation '. Maybe it's just me. Even on the ones I personally think are easy I don't leave that comment. At any rate, this is one of the best teasers I have read on here. According to one comment it may have been plagerized? Not that i care, fun one.
mondayschild59 Aug 13, 2007	I didn't get it, but when I read the answers it made sense. That was a great teaser. Thanks for posting. Monday~
nikitafullmoon Aug 13, 2007	very nice.
meg19_83 Aug 13, 2007	Loved it, though I too thought it was the Beatles.
(user deleted) Aug 13, 2007	hahaha clever, i liked it
breathesunshine Aug 13, 2007	Poor Paul and Ringo for those of you that guessed the Beatles! Last I heard they were very much alive and kicking. Both my son and I tried this and neither of us got it. (and my sister just went there last month too!) Clever one!
jabdr Aug 13, 2007	Ok Lilred..It's not like I thought it was easy, though I think at times, we all want some validation Let's just say, I guessed right and am tickled as it was such a clever teaser
speedqueenkmw Aug 13, 2007	haha good one
busler1 Aug 13, 2007	Neat, even tho I got it in about 5 seconds . The "What am I " rather than "Who am I" gave it away for me.
sbuske Aug 13, 2007	Lilred, You're 100 % correct. I have often wondered how many say it was so easy after they read the answer. Good teaser.
Kelby Aug 13, 2007	I loved this teaser. It was great.
soccer_chick70 Aug 13, 2007	I thought of the Dead Kennedys... but that doesn't exactly fit, but hey, i tried!
Neek Aug 13, 2007	Lilred--You expressed what I have thought so many times and I commend you for that. I'm sure there are some that don't mean anything by it, but I too feel that it isn't necessary, even if it was super easy. Excellent teaser!
wordmama Aug 13, 2007	GOOD ONE!
Dreamchaser Aug 14, 2007	groan! good one
mepapa Aug 14, 2007	place nice comment here
s_o_s Aug 17, 2007	Very clever, nice one!
Starriddler Oct 02, 2007	I thought it was literally rocks.
1smart_okie Jan 07, 2008	I figured it out! Nice one!!
aball911 Mar 15, 2008	wow...i feel retarded. i meant mt. rushmore, but i said "mt. everest" good one tho
thebrain789 Jun 24, 2010	Yet again, I agree with jimbo.
ivyleague Aug 13, 2010	That was so clever!!!
angitude21 Aug 13, 2010	Very good!! I didn't get it at first!!
auntiesis Aug 13, 2010	Still a great teaser.
phyllisa Aug 13, 2010	LOL, great teaser.
antlerlady Aug 13, 2010	I should have worked harder on this one. I figured "rock group" is a trick and "assassinated" usually refers to politicians and such. Gave up too soon!
patiencewithaP Aug 13, 2010	Fun...although I was expecting the answer to be "rock group" too!
PedroArSp Aug 13, 2010	EXCELENT!
beyonce123 Aug 13, 2010	thought beatles
