Which food brand has a name that is, a bit like their products, the same when printed upside down or back to front? How is this product closely connected to a horse that won a prestigious race and a well-known piece of laboratory apparatus?

The question makes more sense if the word "printed" is removed. And that unnecessary comma. Apr 18 05, 9:08 PM

Guess the food must be OXO, but in the dark about the rest of the question. Apr 19 05, 1:40 AM

It's a stock answer but a yay for Rick. Now for the dicey part. Apr 19 05, 4:27 PM

And there was me thinking you'd get the lab apparatus first! So far so good, Peasy. Apr 20 05, 1:33 AM

Come on. The history of "Oxo" should quickly lead you to a bit of apparatus commonly found in chemistry labs. Apr 21 05, 10:29 AM

It looks like nobody is going to get this last part. The beef concentrate that was later made into Oxo cubes was invented by Justus Liebig. The Liebig Meat Company made the first Oxo cubes in 1910. Justus Liebig also devised many principles regarding the lay-out of chemisry labs that are still used today. He is best known, however, for inventing a distillation device called the Liebig condenser. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Justus_Liebig Incidentally, Oxo is also the name of the earliest known running graphic computer game (1952).

Which horse has lost the most number of consecutive races and has never won a race and is widely bet on when it races? Here's a goofy question:: When I look at myself, in the front part of a spoon, why is my reflection upside down.? The classic Australian horse race, The W.S. Cox Plate, has been run at Moonee Valley racetrack in Melbourne since 1922. To date, only one horse has won the event three times (in successive years). What was the horse's name, in which years was he successful, and which three jockeys rode him to victory? With what product did the term "brand name" originate?
