The Forum Pub Quiz

[Captain VXR]

It's about time we had a ganeral knowlege quiz, unsure if it should be in Word Games or Chit Chat
Rules
A question can be of any genre
To be able to make a question one has to answer the previous question correctly
One question at a time :)
Keep it clean - this is a family forum
Now I'm done with the boring stuff it's time for question 1 :D

Nope, good guess

[Donney]

They all have too much free time in their hands?

[Captain VXR]

nope

[schmenke]

They're all slimey.

[Donney]

They want to conquer the world?

[Captain VXR]

Donney yours is very close but not the corect answer
Hint: Illuminati

[schmenke]

They're all Free Masons?

[Rollo]

Does the answer have something to do with David Icke? He was the whack-job who claimed that the Royal Family are also Reptiles and that having Diana killed was to protect themselves.

If so whatever your answer is, you're all wrong as it's got more to do with the Flying Spaghetti Monster, Race 5 at Aintree and a man who had some gold plates in a hat that only he was allowed to read.

[Captain VXR]

Does the answer have something to do with David Icke? He was the whack-job who claimed that the Royal Family are also Reptiles and that having Diana killed was to protect themselves.


Yep, such a pos David Icke and he has no evidence at all to back up his stupid claims. He claims Tony Blair is one too again no evidence. The wacko thinks the eye above the pyramid on a $1 bill is a illuminati sign; yeah right!!!

[Captain VXR]

Hey Rollo, new question please :)

[schmenke]

Yep, such a pos David Icke and he has no evidence at all to back up his stupid claims. He claims Tony Blair is one too again no evidence. The wacko thinks the eye above the pyramid on a $1 bill is a illuminati sign; yeah right!!!

Another general knowledge Q? :s :confused:

[Captain VXR]

nope, rollo should start a q

[Captain VXR]

Bump Rollo new question please

[Rollo]

"Let the Punishment fit the crime" is a well worn phrase that's known by a lot of people. Where is it originaly from?

[Captain VXR]

The bill of human rights?

[CarlMetro]

Is it the Metropolitan police motto?

[schmenke]

The Q'ran?

[Rollo]

Ahah, we have a few answers that find the principle but not the quote.
Hint: It doesn't come from the legal or religious world.

(thinks: Heh heh heh, that'll stump 'em :D )

[Captain VXR]

Maggie Thatcher?

[Rollo]

Nope, not the Iron Lady... and not the Iron Curtain either.

[LeonBrooke]

[Rollo]

We have a winner:

Yes, it's out of The Mikado and specifically A More Humane Mikado

My object all sublime
I shall achieve in time —
To let the punishment fit the crime —
The punishment fit the crime;

It's interesting how phrase and fable comes from the most unlikeliest of sources.

Next Q please :D

[CarlMetro]

Has everyone forgot this thread?

[Captain VXR]

Ahem Leon ahem

[LeonBrooke]

Just got the email notification of more posts...

So: In the "Fruity Oaty Bar Commercial", why is the man screaming in despair?

[schmenke]

He's constipated?

[LeonBrooke]

It's not a real commercial - it's from a film. It's not because he's constipated - it's quite different. The commercial is very funny.

[CarlMetro]

What's a commercial?

[LeonBrooke]

:p : Still my question.

Have a look at my signature to find out which movie.

[CarlMetro]

What? I thought it was some sort of instruction ;)

[LeonBrooke]

Have you seen Serenity?

[CarlMetro]

No.

Was that the right answer? Do I get to ask a question now?

[LeonBrooke]

You might as well; it appears my question was too specialised. The correct answer was: the man was screaming in despair because he brought shame on his family by not buying fruity oaty bars. You must see Serenity.

[CarlMetro]

Woohoo :bounce:

OK, can anyone, in less than thirty words, tell me why I should see Serenity?

[Brown, Jon Brow]

No :p

[LeonBrooke]

It's one of the best movies ever made; directed by Joss Whedon. Need I say more? :D

[CarlMetro]

No :p

Correct, your question :D

[Brown, Jon Brow]

Will I pass my Geography exam this afternoon? :s

[Captain VXR]

[Brown, Jon Brow]

Well we will have to wait until August to find out if i do :p

[LeonBrooke]

Unfair! Ask a different question :D

Good luck :)

A steady stream of elderly patients, infants in incubators and others among the city's most vulnerable ill residents left this weekend via a fleet of ambulances, underscoring the effort by local health officials to avoid the missteps that occurred during Hurricane Katrina three years ago, when some critically sick people were left virtually abandoned in flooded, powerless medical facilities and nursing homes. The ambulances ferried patients to the airport for transport to hospitals farther east, in Florida and North Carolina. The effort is not without risk: Gov. Bobby Jindal (R) said in a news conference Sunday evening that officials have received unconfirmed reports of three patients dying in transport, one from New Orleans and two from Lake Charles.At the same time, hospitals here were trying out new systems put in place to keep out the water, keep the lights on and keep family members in touch with loved ones being dispatched hundreds of miles away."We're getting a dry run," said Robert Lynch, chief executive of Tulane Medical Center downtown, standing in the emergency room's waiting room, where Katrina blew in three feet of water in 2005. wow gold (http://www.questmonk.com)world of warcraft gold (http://www.questmonk.com)buy wow gold (http://www.questmonk.com)cheap wow gold (http://www.questmonk.com)wow power leveling (http://www.questmonk.com)wow powerleveling (http://www.questmonk.com)wow gold (http://www.srogold.com)world of warcraft gold (http://www.srogold.com)buy wow gold (http://www.srogold.com)cheap wow gold (http://www.srogold.com)wow power leveling (http://www.srogold.com)wow powerleveling (http://www.srogold.com)wow gold (http://www.gogoer.com)world of warcraft gold (http://www.gogoer.com)buy wow gold (http://www.gogoer.com)cheap wow gold (http://www.gogoer.com)wow power leveling (http://www.gogoer.com)wow powerleveling (http://www.gogoer.com) but I don't think we will," Lynch said.
