The MP-40 ( Schmeisser ) used by the German army in WWII was constructed with a material that was developed to save time and money in the manufacturing of this firearm. What is this material that is commonly used today?
Good work. I totally forgot about that one and I was actually thinking about MLB and NFL.
There's probably more 'two sport' brother pairs. I did a number of search engine queries, but I couldn't find a list anywhere, except for those who played the same sport.
Brother combos are most common in hockey, from rural Canadian areas where there's nothing for kids to do besides skate, several months of the year, and not too many other kids around. Often the younger brothers get to be really good because they grew up playing against kids older than themselves.

Before pitching a no hitter in 1990, how many no hitters did Dave Stieb flirt with?

Officially three, but technically four.
He had the Yankees in the ninth with a perfect game in early August 1987 but Roberto Kelly spoiled it. Then in September of 1988 he had two consecutive nonos broken up in the ninth inning.
Those are the three but he also had one against Milwaukee that I had seats right beside the Brewers on-deck circle for. Paul Molitor got a weak single up the middle in the fifth inning for the only hit of the day.
But since it came at the midway part of the game there was no big fuss made.
And then in September 1990 Stieb actually did get his no-hitter against the Indians in Cleveland. I remember watching that game and telling those in the room in the third inning that it looks like Stieb is going to finally get his no-hitter.
4 is the correct answer: from Wikipedia:
He played for the Blue Jays from 1979 to 1992 and again in 1998. On September 2, 1990, he pitched the first (and, to date, only) no-hitter in Blue Jays history, defeating the Cleveland Indians 3–0.[4] Previously, Stieb had no-hitters broken up with two outs and two strikes in the bottom of the ninth inning in two consecutive 1988 starts.[5] He also took a no-hitter into the ninth inning in a 1985 game; this bid was broken up by back-to-back home runs and Stieb being replaced in the game before he recorded an out in the ninth.[6] In 1989, he had yet another no-hit bid broken up with two outs in the ninth; this was a potential perfect game

The pistol grips of the MP-40 was made of compressed saw dust with resins, this was the origins of press board or fiber board.
