ROSTER RESET
    Good morning/evening, everybody! Thank you for joining us tonight.
    We hope you'll discover something interesting during the time we spend together on the Insomniac Net for the next 90+ minutes.
        -- The ever-delightful Shelley [KF7TBA] and just plain old LW [K7LWA] (email K7LWA.INS@gmail.com).
    (Please Note: The Net Controller's Answers are always CORRECT (even if they aren't every time!)
    Please check out Winsystem's Insomniac Trivia Net page.
    You can get these Questions & Answers at the Yahoo-groups' Messages Link.
    Do you know a Frenchman named Franky Zapata?
    If you do, then you probably know that he invented a new Water Toy -- the Flyboard®.

    A Flyboard® is essentially a pair of boots connected by hose to a jet ski or other personal watercraft.
    The propulsion from the boots can lift someone 50 to 55 feet in the air.
    On April 30, 2016, Franky grabbed the official GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™ for the farthest flight by a Flyboard® -- covering a distance of 2,200m (1.3 miles) with an average speed of 50-60km/h (~35mph).
    So, how much do you know about the Flyboard®?
    Accordingly, we offer for your approval, 3 questions about the Flyboard®!
    Please choose your answers from any of the 3 (reuseable) answers of "A", "B", or "C" (if applicable!) for each of the following question 
    Good Luck and remember, YOU are always a WINNER with us, regardless of your actual answers!
    Ok, jump on your Flyboard® and spray some H2O...
