Quiz time

copper, Uranium, Iron

Silver, but predominantly gold are byproducts so you’re half way there - but you've lucked out on the major two. Midge- I can neither confirm or deny that.
Craig – you got the main two uranium and copper - over to you...

Well an easy one.

The North side of my town faced east and the east was facing?

And what am I

But I'm a substitute for another guy
I look pretty tall but my heels are high
The simple things you see are all complicated
I look pretty young, but I'm just back-dated, yeah

Substitute your lies for fact
I can see right through your plastic mac
I look all white, but my dad was black
My fine looking suit is really made out of sack

I was born with a plastic spoon in my mouth
The north side of my town faced east, and the east was facing south
And now you dare to look me in the eye
Those crocodile tears are what you cry
It's a genuine problem, you won't try
To work it out at all you just pass it by, pass it by

Comprehensively answered. :)

Your turn

Probably highly debatable and a question of symantics but...

Which is the tallest mountain on Earth??

Well as the obvious answer would be Everest, I guess you must be thinking of one under the ocean?

Everest is the highest above sea level - I recall from geography many moons ago that the tallest from base to tip is in Hawaii - don't know what it's called though?

I think technically Everest is the tallest (It certainly is the highest) Offically the term mountain refers only to mountains above sea level.

However some will argue the highest mountain is Mauna Kea in Hawaii at 10,204m but most of it is under sea level. Everest is 8848m.

you guys can decide who was right...:)

What was Sherlock Holmes' brother's name?

M something..... Mycroft?

Well done Watson. :)
Over to you

Sticking with the theme, what hobby did Sherlock Holmes take up after he retired from detective work?

Bee keeping ?

Correct. Did you have to look it up?

Nope. I once read a book called "The Bee Keeper's Aprentice".

O.K. Last detective question.

Bugger, I saw that episode too. Ummmm it's an attribute, something like 'Honesty' but that's not it.....

This will bug me.....

Alright, time for a hint. It's also a ship's name.

Endeavor!

How many Stooges were there in total?

18?

Did you look that up? 18 actors, 6 stooges. Or 3, and later 4, Stooges, not including Iggy Pop. Any of these would have been acceptable answers.

Yes, Im afraid I did... :)

Heres a 3 parter.

Part 1: Who sang the song. The Anahiem, Azusa and Kookamungra sewing circle, book review and timing association.

Part 2: What was the last line of the song.

Part 3: What hit song, by the same artist(s) did the the last line of the song come from.

And yes it really is a song and was a reasonable size hit in the 60's.

Cheers - Neil

PS for the spelling Nazi's. I have no idea what the correct spelling is for the towns named in the song and personally I don't care.

:D

I think we need a rule about looking things up on the Internet. You're only cheating yourself, you know ;)

What Australian wicket keeper had more ducks than half centuries in his ODI career?

Ian Healy

Correct, or I would have accepted Rodney Marsh.

Actually the question should have been "What Australian Wicket Keeper did NOT have more ducks than half centuries in his ODI career" :rolleyes:

Well, I must admit I was wondering about this myself. I guess the answer is yes and no. It really depends on the question. Some of these questions are not likely to be guessed correctly and looking them up may well be the only alternative... At least to keep the thread moving along anyway...

But then again, it's just a bit of fun after all and we all get to learn something new or interesting regardless of where it came from...

While we're waiting for Gumby to log on again...

Some of us are fans of Shaker furniture, who founded the Shakers?

Hey, I actually know that one...

You mean I was wrong, it wasn't Shakin' Stevens?

Shakin' did have an old house that needed doing up. :)
