Remind me not to go near Oxley next time I'm in Brisbane, there must be something in the water there.:rolleyes:

[ozwinner]

But I'll never forget the way you feel right now?

Yep, your go. :)

[ozwinner]

Google is good, isnt it?

Who got spat on just recently at the AFL?
And did he deserve it? :)

[outback]

After consultation with my lawyers I wish to lodge a protest! :mad:

I submit the following.


I know the territory, I've been around
It'll all turn to dust and we'll all fall down
And sooner or later, you'll be screwing around

I won't do that! No I won't do that!

Anything for love,
Oh I would do anything for love
I would do anything for love, but I won't do that,
No I won't do that

From that wonderful website
Anything For Love Lyrics (http://www.woutersen.info/show.php/lyricid/48183)

Please forward your particulars so a formal warrant for your arrest can be issued, and leagal proceedings can commence.

Or we can forget the whole thing and move on with our lives, whatever :D :D

[Tonz]

aww Gee I thought the meatloaf answer would be....

I want you
I need you
But -- there ain't no way I'm ever gonna love you


Danny Frawley ?

[bitingmidge]

Not you Gumby, the biting midge. He was a bit late with his Rodney Marsh.

You have to work for a living? You poor chap. I just sit here all day in front of this computer and pretend to be busy...
Well yes I should have been at work, thanks for reminding me, but actually it was a lovely day, the sun was shining, not a cloud in the sky, so I forsook you all and went to the beach!

BTW meatloaf won't do Rodney Marsh either.

In MASH, what was BJ Hunnicut's parents first names, (not MR and MRS hunnicut!)

[Tankstand]

Hi, I just found this excellent thread!:D
But nobody can play with me :(. not unless you all stay up all night or wait 24Hrs for an answer. :D

Have fun and I'll catch up on the trivia later!

[Bob Willson]

Sorry Brudda, just got to clear up outback's claims and get the warrant rescinded. :)

Here is the full text for the song:

I Would Do Anything For Love
And I would do anything for love,
I'd run right into hell and back,
I would do anything for love,
I'll never lie to you and thats a fact.

But I'll never forget the way you feel right now - Oh no - no way -
And I would do anything for love,
Oh I would do anything for love,
I would do anything for love,
But I wont do that,
No I wont do that,

And some days it don't come easy,
And some days it don't come hard
Some days it don't come at all,
And these are the days that never end.
And some nights you breathing fire,
And some nights your carved in ice,
Some nights your like nothing I've ever seen before,
or will again.

And maybe Im crazy,
Oh it's crazy and it's true,
I know you can save me,
no one else can save me now but you.

As long as the planets are turning,
As long as the stars are burning,
As long as your dreams are coming true
- You better believe it!
-That I would do anything for love!
Oh I would do anything for love,
Oh I would do anything for love,
But I wont do that, no I wont do that...
I will do anything for love,
Anything you've been dreaming of,
But I just wont do that...

I will do anything for love,
Anything you've been dreaming of,
But I just won't do...

And some days I pray for Silence,
And some days I pray for Soul,
Some days I just pray to the God of Sex and Drums and Rock 'N' Roll.
And Maybe I'm lonely,
And thats all I'm qualified to be,
There's just one and only,
The one and only promise I can keep.

As long as the wheels are turning,
As long as the fires are burning,
As long as your prayers are coming true
- You better believe it!
That I would do anything for love!
And you know it's true and thats a fact,
I would do anything for love!
And there'll never be no turning back
-But I'll never do it better than I do it with you,
So long - So long -
And I would do anything for love,
Oh I would do anything for love,
I would do anything for love,
But I wont do that, No, No. No, I wont do that!
Girl : Will you raise me up?
Will you help me down?
Will you help get me right out of this Godforsaken town?
Will you make it all a little less cold?

Meat Loaf : I can do that!I can do that!
Girl : Will you cater to every fantasy that I've got?
Will ya hose me down with holy water - if I get too hot - hot?
Will you take me to places that I've never known?

Meat Loaf : I can do that!I can do that!
Girl : I know the territory - I've been around,
It'll all turn to dust and we'll all fall down,
Sooner or later you'll be screwing around.

Meat Loaf: I wont do that!No I wont do that!
Anything for love,
But I wont do that!

Back to Brudda's question now.:


In MASH, what was BJ Hunnicut's parents first names, (not MR and MRS hunnicut!)

[Tonz]

Bob, call me slow but I just sussed out what you were asking... Might have made more sense if you'd said...

What is "that" that meatloaf won't do...;)



Answer to Brudda's question...

Bea and Jay.. Hence BJ Hunnicut....


Which wild animal species is credited with more human deaths than any other ? (intentional deaths - i.e attacks);)

[ozwinner]

Bee

[bitingmidge]

Well Bee is certainly correct in Australia, where there is a shortage of things that will kill you, but is that the case in the Antarctic?

(Lovely morning at the beach, thanks for asking.)

P

[Tonz]

Nope..

Looks like the word "animal" my be a tad generic...

Lets' exclude insects, spiders and snakes for the purpose of the question.... I'm talking big beasties here....

(I thnk if you do include insects the mosquito may well be right up there...)

[ozwinner]

[silentC]

Moose

I've met a few angry and possibly a bit wild men in my time but as to whether you can classify "man" as a "wild animal" is probably open to interpretation...

Not moose either...

It's African...

[silentC]

Then it's the hippopotamus...

[Tonz]

Yes indeedy... Due to it's agreesive nature the hippo is known for over 400 direct attacks on humans causing death.

Over to you SilentC...

[bitingmidge]

No time to wait...back to the music...help!

Name the song and the artist....

"A hippopotomus would look quite hilarious,
Hanging by his tail from a tree...eee."

It's got me stumped, but the words keep buzzing around in my head....(drowning out the voices.)

Cheers,

P

[silentC]

Can't help you with that one, P....

What album is this cover from:

[Tonz]

Pink Floyd.. Wish you were here...

I think this was probably my favourite Pink Floyd album...


Which three tools does Bob the Builder keep in his toolbelt?

[silentC]

Damn, I knew I'd made it too easy. Should've used Atom Heart Mother....

[craigb]

Hammer, screw driver, tape measure?

[Tonz]

Craigb, you got two out of three....

[silentC]

Stilsons (pipe wrench whatever), Screwdrivers, Tape measure

[craigb]

Not bad. And I don't even have kids.

I suppose I could look on Gogle, but that would be cheating :)

[Tonz]

SilentC, also two out of three....

[silentC]

Wrench, screwdriver, chisel?

[Tonz]

nope.. still only 2 but getting close... (craigb had the third one)

[silentC]

Well, it must be wrench, screwdrivers, hammer. But I don't remember seeing a hammer, I'll have to have a look at my Son's toy one. I've seen him live in concert you know....

[Tonz]

Must admit I had to have a good look after I found the question somewhere. He has a wrench and two screwdrivers on the front and a hammer on his left side. There's also a little pouch so I guess there could be a tape measure in there with a little bit of imagination... :)

[silentC]

Who's Roller was this?

[craigb]

O.K. Darren, post away

[craigb]

John Lennons?

[silentC]

Too easy!!! Your turn.

[craigb]

O.K. This is a question in 3 parts.

1. How many flanelette (sp) shirts does Norm own?
2. Does he have enough?
3. What date was decimal currency introduced into Australia?

:)

[silentC]

Hmm, I'd say 15, no, and sometime in 1965?

[craigb]

Can he ever have enough flanelette shirts?

I'm looking for the actual date.

If you were old enough you would be able to remember the jingle that they had at the time that was sung to the tune of "Click goes the shears"

[Tonz]

Decimal currency was introduced into NZ on the 10th July 1967 about 17 months after Australia....

Australia was also the first country in the world to have all their banknotes based on plastic.

[silentC]

OK, I had to look it up. 14th of Feb 1966. I vaguely remember my mum buying 2 cent stamps to post a letter but that must've been a couple of years later because I was only 8 months old at the time....

[craigb]

because I was only 8 months old at the time....

Guess you wouldn't remember the jingle then :D

[silentC]

Nope. It was pretty much Andy Pandy and the Flowerpot Men for me in those days ;)

OK, what was the following jingle advertising?

"A little dab'll do ya"

[craigb]

Brylcream of course !

(I wonder if you can still buy that gloop?)

[silentC]

My dad still has a jar of that! No use to him now though since all his hair fell out :)

[craigb]

Right. What did Jimi Hendrix have in his brain?

[silentC]

I was waiting to give someone else a go but looks like they've all gone to the pub.

Purple Haze...

Who painted this (bonus point for the title):

[Tonz]

Drugs...

[bitingmidge]

In a tiny squeaky voice....

it wasn't Rodney Marsh was it?

P

[silentC]

NO IT WAS NOT RODNEY MARSH!!!

;)

[ozwinner]

Dali.
Hallucenogenic torreador.
One of my fave artists.

[ozwinner]

Why is the sky blue?

[bitingmidge]

So we can play cricket without lights!

[Eastie]

Its due to the Rayleigh scattering effect where blue, being a shorter wavelength gets scattered off gas molecules (i.e. ozone) whilst the longer wavelengths pass straight through.

[Tonz]

Why the Sky is Blue, a Poem by John Ciardi

I don't suppose you happen to know
Why the sky is blue? It's because the snow
Takes out the white. That leaves it clean
For the trees and grass to take out the green.
Then pears and bananas start to mellow,
And bit by bit they take out the yellow.
The sunsets, of course, take out the red
And pour it into the ocean bed
Or behind the mountains in the west.
You take all that out and the rest
Couldn't be anything else but blue.
Look for yourself. You can see it's true.

[Eastie]

Tonz - there were no 'flowery icons' in his question so you must be wrong - Oz asking poetry questions http://www.ubeaut.biz/laughing.gif

THATS ALL I CAN REMEMBER..AND NO GOOGLE HELP.

[silentC]

In come the dollars, in come the cents,
to replace the pounds and shillings and the pence.
Be prepared for changes when the coins begin to mix,
on the 14th of February, 1966.

[craigb]

Well Ozwinner is Eastie right or not?

The quiz has stalled

Oh. I see he's not logged on.

Oh well, why not ask one anyway Eastie

[Eastie]

Ok - but it may not help speed things along.....

Q. Who am I. I am a left handed batsman with a test match average of 54 runs. I bowled a total of 72 balls for a total of 54 runs. Also known as “Iron Gloves”, my name is ………

What exactly does the Southern Oscillation Index measure?

[silentC]

Oscillations in the South?

[ozwinner]

Its when us Mexicans come out of the pub after a heavy night.

[silentC]

[craigb]

meteorological

avagoodweekend !

Eastie,
What a tricky person you are...I was of course going to answer "Rodney Marsh" until I realised the 54 was not his average test runs (try 26 and a bit) but the number of cans of beer he would consume on a flight between Perth and Rottnest Island. So I delved deeper and woke up to your cunning plot:

The answer is: my favourite netty girl:-LIZ ELLIS!!!

Do I get to ask a question now or is it someone elses turn? Oops that's another question I suppose!

Cheers,

P

[bitingmidge]

What the heck! New question:
In a woodwork context, do participants in a Quiz thread comprise a splinter group?
P

[ozwinner]

Stay off the beach!!!
I think the sun has fried your brain............:D :D :D :D

What was the beetles first hit record?

"She loves you" ?????

The Beatles first hit record was "Love Me Do"

What was the Beatles first hit record in the good ole US of A?

[bitingmidge]

record in the god ole US of A?

And this from the master of diction himself?

Heh heh...just my way of sneaking in another question!!

[Tonz]

I want to hold your hand...


What historical event ocurred in London on the 10th September 1752?

Actually I thought that too. But it did answer the question...:)

[Robert WA]

What historical event ocurred in London on the 10th September 1752?

That is the year that the lightning rod was first applied. Hmmm. I thought that happened in the US.

[silentC]

Edmund Blackadder wore a pair of novelty breasts and tried to impress his religious Aunt at the same time?

[ivanavitch]

What historical event ocurred in London on the 10th September 1752?

Not fair. Trick question. There was no such date. This was one of the dates missed when changing from the Julian to the Gregorian calendar.

[Bob Willson]

The Liberty Bell was cast.

It was also the year in which England adopted the Gregorian calendar. As a result of this, there was rioting in the streets when people thought that they were going to lose 11 days of their lives because the new calendar required that September 1752 have only 17 days in it.
This was necessary because the difference between the Julian calendar and the Gregorian one now added 11 days to the year. Over time this difference would have increased due to the lack of a leap year in the Julian calendar which adds a 1/4 of a day every four years.

The new formatting is EXCELLENT. :)


What is the spring equinox?

[bitingmidge]

What is the spring equinox?

The name given to the marks on my wifes thighs after sleeping all night on a cheap inner spring mattress.
