*Vaders Mechanical Arms*

Sorry for the fancy Latin, I just added it incase it was a deceiving question. I wasn't sure if you meant the Largest Fish currently living or the Largest Fish Ever.

 

That's Ok Richie - I just thought it was amusing that you went to all that trouble!

Anyway, as promised - here is Question 8, folks!

---

In the U2 song [i]Vertigo[/i], the lead singer Bono starts by saying: "Uno, dos, tres, catorce!" Why is this sentence [i][u]technically[/u][/i] incorrect?

 

I really don't know, but I guessed.

 

Apologies for my little hiatus, guys

The answer to Question 8 is:

"Uno, dos, tres, catorce!" is Spanish for "One, two, three, fourteen!"

And yes, while Bono has managed to riggle his way out of that one with some artsy-waffle, I still say never trust the translators... It's like a girl on Eurovision a couple of years ago who sang a song in English, even though she couldn't speak a word of it. All was fine until she reached the chorus line: "And then you'll be my butt"

Anyways, good guess Moose (it's better to guess than not, I always say ), but the point goes to Richie

Nearly there... And now [b]Question 9[/b]:
[hr]
Before polishing leather shoes with a woolen cloth, they can be made to look spik and span if you rub them with:

a. banana mash
b. apple juice [i]or [/i]
c. half an onion

 

I really don't know this one.

 

Me neither

 

Nope, I have to admit that neither did I

But, as Moose correctly guessed ( ), the answer is (apparently):

c. Half an onion

I thought it was banana mash, myself...

And finally, [b]Question 10:[/b]
[hr]
In Greek mythology, the [b]Chimera[/b] is composed of parts from which three animals?

[b]a.[/b] Lion, Goat, Snake
[b]b.[/b] Goat, Snake, Horse
[b]c.[/b] Horse, Fish, Eagle [i]or[/i]
[b]d.[/b] Snake, Eagle, Lion

 

Ack! I know this one but I forgot to PM an answer! I'll do it later today.

 

Well, that was a good round Of course the answer to Question 10 was:

a. Lion, Goat, Snake

Congrats to both Moose and Richie for getting it right

Yes, sorry about that - I was going to link the trophy in properly, but it made a mess of my pretty header rule...

But I'm glad you both like your respective prizes

*Flicks on some disco lights and dances to the theme tune* Ah, it always makes me

Anyway, how is everyone?

 

I am tired and stuff. Actually, I'm not sure what I am right now. I think I'm awake, but I could be wrong.

 

Nope, definatley not awake - this is the Matrix after all...

Actually, I was watching that the other day and was thinking that apart from the computers (lol), it hasn't aged all that badly for 10 years... *Grabs zimmer frame*

 

Oh, I guess that explains a lot then.

*tries to poke holes in the matrix*
