ah yes now I remember! that is also where I heard the question... QI. and as a christmas present... I will give the turn to whoever can post a question first ! Merry Christmas to all!

Thanks cincol, somehow it reminded me about the story of boiling an egg on a mountain (spoiler, it takes longer to boil an egg at higher altitude)What is Alan Smithee's claim to fame? Aha... this one I know ...I think the question was asked a few pages back Alan Smithee is a pseudonym used by film directors who wish to disown a project. Its however no longer used, there was a movie about it that basically killed the name.(cant remember the name of the movie)

Carbon Hunter... you got it. apparently written on a 4000 year old Mesopotamian clay tablet

Ding I thought this was rather obscure, but never underestimate what others know! From wikipedia: The male seahorse is equipped with a brood pouch on the ventral, or front-facing, side. When mating, the female seahorse deposits up to 1,500 eggs in the male's pouch. The male carries the eggs for anywhere from 9 to 45 days until they emerge, expelling fully developed, miniature seahorses in the water. Once the seahorse babies are released into the water, the male's role is done and he offers no further care. All yours 7gryph7 thanks. this might be a easy one... what is the oldest known written recipe for?

seahorse?

cool! im currently on the road, and wont be able to check in here frequently so to keep the game going, the spot is up for grabs to the first person that posts a question.

I heard a rumour that a tarantula would shatter if dropped. dont know if its true? havent tested it yet.

hehehe. ok. could be a easy one. Who is Tenzing Norgay? or at least, what is his claim to fame?

more literally ? smelling salts ? edit: inserted quote

do they all have action figures for the characters?

struisbaai

Puffadders. Also once came across a SERIOUSLY pissed off Warthog! Not the hakuna matata singing friendly animal you would imagine

thanks for pointing me to this thread Jors. I did not intend to create a duplicate thread... I somehow just missed this one.

I have been to a few caches where there was no internet logs yet but when I arrive the cache was visited by more than one person, some of the written logs a few days old already.It really did not bother me though. Im not going to hunt a FTF cache over more kilometers than my budget would allow anyway, and im doing it for the fun, so if someone beat me to the punch and did not log yet, (intentionally or not) I wont mind because if I dont have the time/budget to waste on hunting a FTF, I wont do it.... On a previous FTF hunt near Knysna, I set out to get it, no internet logs yet after a few days after the listing was published , but when I got there, you, CownChicken claimed it already. (others also found it before me) Although I was disappointing in not getting the FTF, I still had a great time finding the cache and did not see it as wasted effort / time / money. On a more recent trip to Ramsgate, I discovered a cache listing of about 8 days old with no internet logs yet. I thought there could be no way but set out anyway and low and behold, still got the FTF. Isnt that part of hunting the FTF? getting there and not knowing if you really are the first or if someone beat you until you open the logbook? If you got every FTF you set out to hunt... I suppose it would soon become just another cache, and the FTF would lose its "value" oh, and I tend to wait for the FTF to log before I log my find even if it takes a couple of days.

I am assuming that my answer to the question was correct. If so, then I will ask a question. What happened in Gauteng [then Transvaal] on 10 September 1981 that many people still talk about? I dont want to answer because I dont have a new question but if reports can be believed it happened again today?

yup wazat. you got it. Victoria is Latin for victory - Named after the roman goddess Victoria. the Greek counterpart for the goddess Victoria is called Nike. (from where the sports brand took its name)

uhh... ok .... thanks for the hint cincol. what comon interest does Nike have with Queen Victoria?

perhaps "way of the dragon"?

welcome.

@Black james cash: Nope - the 3 headed hound is Cerberus The answer I was looking for is that the Chimera/Chimaera , was according to Greek myth a fire breathing creature composed from the body and head of a lioness, a head of a goat as well, and a tail that ends with the head of a snake. I will however give it to you for remembering the virus in MI2. The term chimera has also come to describe an impossible or foolish fantasy.

Is that not a griffin/griffon/gryphon ? A Chimera is part human part animal I think. Trev the Gryphon is indeed the creature with the lions body and the eagles head and wings. but no, the chimera has no human part.

thanks .... bookmarking this thread to try out when I have my gps with me.

keeping with mythology. what is a Chimera.

I believe a manticore is a greek mythical creature. - body of a lion, head of a man and tail of a scorpion.

The race was held at Prince George Circuit in East London in 1962 ,63 and 65. In 1967 the race was moved to Kyalami take it away Chingha
