A run over Zebra? :eek:
Mick
The last sparky that worked at Squizzy's place:mad:
St Kilda's run at the AFL premiership (it's all over now).
A sunburnt nun. Is that politcally incorrect? I hope so! :D
Duckman got it.
There are several answers
1 to 3- Sunburnt zebra or nun or collingwood player
4-6 Embarrased zebra or nun or collingwood player
your turn
I realise that this is certain to be wrong, but as as a Brit I'd have to say:Quote:

OK here goes.
Here is the question:
How do you get 4 triangles out of 6 equal length matchsticks without breaking, overlapping or incomplete shapes (ie, pieces jutting out)?
Hint: feel free to post photos if you have the necessary photographic equipment rather than try to explain it in words. We have the technology, why not use it? :)
Not sure whether I really need a picture, but I'm pretty sure the answer is an equilateral (4 sided) pyramid.
... Sorry - I missed duckman's answer to the black, white, red thing - but I was sure that Newcastle vs Liverpool was not the answer!
BUGGER! :)Quote:

Over to you...
Of course, the down side to answering a question is that you have to think of a new one!
This is probably easy, in that it must be findable with google:
Give the year it happened, and the name and species of the first living creature to make an earth orbit.
Year (guess) 1959
Species: Dog
Name: Laika
Alternatively:-
1521
Ferdinand Magellan
Homo Sapiens
I kind of realised that I would get an answer along the lines of Driver's, due to my poor wording.
But duckman extremely rapidly got the answer I was looking for, and was a mere 2 years out, which I think is close enough (given that he could have googled 'Laika' for the correct year - 1957):
Facts and pics here!
So I leave duckman and Driver to decide who will set the next test of grey matter!
Your go, duckster!
I was just being a smartarse.
Smarter than the average asre ;)
Somebody had to say it! :rolleyes: :DQuote:

If this all happened today, the whole crew would get Rolex's (or at least Citizen Sportswatches), dinner at parliament house, and a contract to do ads for a little known brand of preserved peach.

Got it in one, Darren. Your go.
Biting, you're not serious, are you? The bloke who is nominally in charge always gets the credit. If you change that, you'll tear a hole in the fabric of the known universe and we'll all end up with bloody Woger and Seaman Staines ...
Who is this?
You mean "What's wrong with my post?" was the quiz question? :eek: :eek:Quote:

Silent, clue please;
Is it animal, vegetable or mineral?

Correct. Such a melancholy key.Quote:
D Minor?
Easy one:
What and where is this?
Well, depending on where it is it is either the Devil's or Giant's Causeway, and it could be in Ireland, or in Scotland, or Wales, or at Fingal Heads on the Northern NSW coast.
Cheers,

It's the Giant's Causeway in Northern Ireland. Formed from molten basaltic rock.
That's why I used a long shot instead of a close up. You should be able to tell from the background if you've been there ;)
