+Team Sieni Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 No guesses, ah well then, here's a wee clue - his real name was Ehrich Weiss. Ding - your go again! Yes but what was he better known as? He was very lazy and hence was known as Idle Weiss. Quote Link to comment
+Simply Paul Posted July 5, 2007 Author Share Posted July 5, 2007 Harry Houdini was a Ehrich Weiss, but I have no idea if he was this Ehrich Weiss..? Quote Link to comment
+chizu Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 Harry Houdini was a Ehrich Weiss, but I have no idea if he was this Ehrich Weiss..? DING to SP! Apparently Harry Houdini was a keen aviator and performed the first controlled flight in Australia just north of Mebourne. Quote Link to comment

+Guanajuato Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 (edited) Stab in the dark... I know that divers put gnomes in wast water, which the police then recover once in a while (why bother?) (why did 'police' disappear from my original post?) Could they also put all those other things down there? Edited July 5, 2007 by Guanajuato Quote Link to comment
+JackieC Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 Not totally sure about this one... Isn't there a tuba and a gnome on the cover of the Beatles album - Sgt. Pepper (along with loads of other stuff)? Don't remember a velvet snake or snow white though! JackieC Quote Link to comment

JackieC Wait to see but I think you might be right Jackie cos I'm pretty certain SnowWhite is on the cover. I can't remember the velvet snake either. Quote Link to comment
+Simply Paul Posted July 5, 2007 Author Share Posted July 5, 2007 (edited) The velvet snake is bottom left, by Sonny Liston's feet. JackieC is correct! Leo Gorcey, an actor, was in the original shot but was painted out when he asked for a fee. Ghandi also appeared, just above Diana Dors, but EMI asked for him to be removed too. Over to you JackieC.

+JackieC Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 Well done to Martybartfast and Team Sieni, you're both correct. It was the Trumpton Clock. The opening lines to Trumpton are: "Here is the clock, the trumpton clock, Telling the time, steadily, sensibly, Never too quickly, never to slowly, Telling the time for Trumpton" As Martybartfast got there first the "DING" goes to him.

+Eckington Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 Up near Western Bank in Sheffield there used to be an old cinema where Professor Krebs investigated respiration in cells. He discovered a cyclic process that became known as the Krebs cycle. It is also called the tricarboxilic acid or CITRIC ACID cycle. I failed my 2nd MB ChB Biochemistry exams (at Sheffield) because I could not for the life of me remember the sequence of enzymes in the cycle and so became a teacher and not a doctor Which bode well for humanity Quote Link to comment
