norsch Posted October 21, 2009 Posted October 21, 2009 Ding to Nediam for a fast acurate answer. Sorry to hear about the vandalism it was possibly our largest stalactite, there is another large stalactite in Eldon hole, Derbyshire which is also known as "The sword of Damocles" I would have accepted either answer.

+keehotee Posted October 21, 2009 Posted October 21, 2009 Who killed Marion Crane, and how?... The butler. In the conservatory. With a candlestick. Or Norman Bates. With a big knife? Quote
Nediam Posted October 21, 2009 Posted October 21, 2009 Who killed Marion Crane, and how?... The butler. In the conservatory. With a candlestick. Or Norman Bates. With a big knife? Blimey, that was quick! DING!!! Quote
norsch Posted October 21, 2009 Posted October 21, 2009 (edited) Would it be Norman Bates who brutally stabs Marion to death. Ooops too late Edited October 21, 2009 by norsch Quote

+MartyBartfast Posted October 23, 2009 Posted October 23, 2009 Which country will lead the Parade of Nations at the opening ceremony of the London Olympics? Guessing that it is the next host country so I'll go for Brazil. Quote

+Jenny&James Posted October 23, 2009 Posted October 23, 2009 Which country will lead the Parade of Nations at the opening ceremony of the London Olympics? We'll try Greece (again!) Quote

Guessing that it is the next host country so I'll go for Brazil. Nope.. How about the last host country, China? Edited October 23, 2009 by MartyBartfast Quote
+keehotee Posted October 23, 2009 Posted October 23, 2009 Which country will lead the Parade of Nations at the opening ceremony of the London Olympics? We'll try Greece (again!) And you'd do very well to. It's always (traditionally) Greece - so J and J get the ding...... Quote

norsch Posted October 23, 2009 Posted October 23, 2009 Our ancestors in England ate many animals which we do not eat now such as mereswínas, hors and many others. One animal they never ate were known as ánhornas or ánhyrneas, what were they? Quote
+Team Noodles Posted October 24, 2009 Posted October 24, 2009 tis a very common pub quiz question tbh, at least 9 pubs have posed this one already, so I'll let someone else answer it Quote
+drdick&vick Posted October 24, 2009 Posted October 24, 2009 Don't think the ancients ate cats due to their links with witches Quote
norsch Posted October 24, 2009 Posted October 24, 2009 Although in the time period I'm thinking of they did have cats, their word was "catt", they probably didn't eat them as cats are good hunters and don't mind sharing their prey. Unfortunately not the right answer. Quote
+chizu Posted October 24, 2009 Posted October 24, 2009 Our ancestors in England ate many animals which we do not eat now such as mereswínas, hors and many others. One animal they never ate were known as ánhornas or ánhyrneas, what were they? Is this a trick question? anhornas sounds like one horn and therefore a unicorn? I've never seen one on a menu! Quote
norsch Posted October 24, 2009 Posted October 24, 2009 Not a trick question, ánhornas were not on their menu, because they were unicorns, the language in England at the time was Old English or Englisc. So DING to chizu Quote
+chizu Posted October 24, 2009 Posted October 24, 2009 Thanks! What can most animals do but guinea pigs, fruit bats and humans can't? Quote
norsch Posted October 24, 2009 Posted October 24, 2009 They all share the ability to produce their own ascorbic acid (vitamin C) Quote
+chizu Posted October 24, 2009 Posted October 24, 2009 They all share the ability to produce their own ascorbic acid (vitamin C) so close but you couldn't be further away! Quote
Steve_P Posted October 24, 2009 Posted October 24, 2009 Lets try the opposite then, they can't produce their own vitamin C Quote
+chizu Posted October 24, 2009 Posted October 24, 2009 Lets try the opposite then, they can't produce their own vitamin C That will be a DING! Most mammals can but for unknown reasons, we can't and that's why we need a constant supply of vitamin C rich foods such as oranges etc. Quote
+MartyBartfast Posted October 24, 2009 Posted October 24, 2009 They all share the ability to produce their own ascorbic acid (vitamin C) so close but you couldn't be further away! I wouldn't want to stir up a controversy but you asked What can most animals do but... and the answer is "they (most animals) can produce their own vitamin C." So I think norsch was correct..... Quote
+chizu Posted October 24, 2009 Posted October 24, 2009 sorry must remember the wording of my own questions next time! Quote
+MartyBartfast Posted October 24, 2009 Posted October 24, 2009 No worries MartyBartfast, your turn. I don't want it I had no idea of the answer, it's definitely a win for norsch or Steve_P, I should have kept my nose out Quote
+chizu Posted October 24, 2009 Posted October 24, 2009 No worries MartyBartfast, your turn. I don't want it I had no idea of the answer, it's definitely a win for norsch or Steve_P, I should have kept my nose out To clarify - a DING to norsch! Sorry again! Quote
norsch Posted October 24, 2009 Posted October 24, 2009 OK I'll try an easy one. Where in the UK can you find a village called "Conundrum"? Quote
+Madam Cholet Posted October 25, 2009 Posted October 25, 2009 I used to go past places like Conundrum Fisheries up near Berwick when I went diving up there. Was never aware of an actual village but there could have been. Quote
norsch Posted October 26, 2009 Posted October 26, 2009 DING Madam, OK its hardly a village, but when I set the question I could not remember the name for a hamlet. Quote
Pajaholic Posted October 26, 2009 Posted October 26, 2009 DING Madam, OK its hardly a village, but when I set the question I could not remember the name for a hamlet. TBH, I don't think it's even a hamlet if this Google Maps link is where you mean. It seems that it's just a farm. Now, if you'd asked where you could find a Maudlin village? ... Geoff Quote
+Madam Cholet Posted October 28, 2009 Posted October 28, 2009 Maudlin is near Bodmin. Those of you that know/ know of me have probably realised that I enjoy a movie or two. So.... From 1990 to 1997 every movie that got the Best Picture Oscar also got an Oscar in which other category? Have a go without Google first. (You wouldn't have Google in the Pub would you!) Quote
+keehotee Posted October 28, 2009 Posted October 28, 2009 Welcome to the Groundspeak Arms, come in, take your coat off - put your feet up! I'm going to ask a question, whoever answers correctly can post the next question and so on... Rule 1 - No googling! Rule 2 - Try and keep your question at the level someone in a pub quiz might be able to answer... Question 1 - What is the heaviest organ in the human body? Maudlin is near Bodmin. Those of you that know/ know of me have probably realised that I enjoy a movie or two. So.... From 1990 to 1997 every movie that got the Best Picture Oscar also got an Oscar in which other category? Have a go without Google first. (You wouldn't have Google in the Pub would you!) No Googling has always been Rule 1 anyway, in case anybody wasn't aware..... I'll guess at Best Director. Quote
+Madam Cholet Posted October 28, 2009 Posted October 28, 2009 Ding to Keehotee for Best Director. Quote
+chizu Posted November 16, 2009 Posted November 16, 2009 Is this thread now officially dead? c'mon Keehotee your turn. Quote
+Madam Cholet Posted November 18, 2009 Posted November 18, 2009 I hope Keehotee doesn't mind if I grab this turn from him but I've just come back from the company quiz night and am all fired up with questions. We did a round on 'Addresses' and I thought it might be fun for a while. (Keehotee, if you object, please kick me off and take your turn) Who lives at 124 Conch Street? Quote
+The Duckers Posted November 19, 2009 Posted November 19, 2009 We wait all that time for a question to come along and it gets answered in 19 mins........ Quote
+Team Noodles Posted November 19, 2009 Posted November 19, 2009 We wait all that time for a question to come along and it gets answered in 19 mins........ LOL, thanks for that! *goes to clean keyboard after spraying coffee all over it* Quote
