Who coined the term 'Dinosaur' and what does it mean?
Fred Flintstone and it means large meal still on the hoof.
Oh, it is to laugh :rolleyes:
I knew that it meant 'terrible lizard' but didn't know the rest of it.
The rest of it
What is a groat?
A 4 pence piece.
And I have one, found it on the gold fields.

Yes, but what the hell was a 4d piece doing on the goldfields? Breeding maybe??
I dont know, I presume it was nicked.
The biggest denomination coin I have found was a QV 1/-, which was the equivelent of 1 weeks work back then.
Someone else have a go. My brain hurts. :(

Al, this is an extremely dangerous condition. The only cure known to mankind is to immediately drink copious amounts of alcohol. Repeat until brain stops hurting or heart stops beating. Whichever is the sooner.Quote:
