+cownchicken Posted September 4, 2012 Posted September 4, 2012 The guy who stowed away on the flight to London?
+cincol Posted September 4, 2012 Posted September 4, 2012 (edited) The guy who stowed away on the flight to London? Kaching!!!!! The as yet unidentified rocket scientist successfully removed himself from the gene pool when he climbed into the wheel well of a London Bound BA flight and was subjected to IQF [individually quick frozen] conditions and was removed in a solid state upon arrival at LHR!!

+cownchicken Posted September 4, 2012 Posted September 4, 2012 Which South African invention was first manufactured in Krugersdorp in 1948? This substance accompanied Neil Armstrong on the first moon landing in 1969 and kept parts of the Eagle landing ship together.

+Wazat Posted September 21, 2012 Posted September 21, 2012 did i not ask the same question here a while back?
+cincol Posted September 30, 2012 Posted September 30, 2012 It has been almost a month now. C'n C - how about another question from you guys??
+cownchicken Posted October 1, 2012 Posted October 1, 2012 It has been almost a month now. C'n C - how about another question from you guys?? Okay. Here goes. Which Comrades runner always ran in red socks?
+cownchicken Posted October 2, 2012 Posted October 2, 2012 Wally Haywood Nope. This guy won Comrades 4 times and was also well known for his shuffling style of running.

+Wazat Posted October 3, 2012 Posted October 3, 2012 Still on Comrades, Bill Payn (A spring bok rugby player) ran in the 2nd race, but what was an interesting fact regarding this....
+Carbon Hunter Posted October 3, 2012 Posted October 3, 2012 He ran the entire way without training (he believed rugby training was suffieicent) - he only entered a few days before the race - stopped a few times (including Drummond for a Roast chicken meal - and elsewhere for a whisky or two) - and finished the comrades. He then played a provincial rugby game for Natal the next day (but did wear takkies for that match as he complained about blisters and stud pressure.
+Wazat Posted October 3, 2012 Posted October 3, 2012 Cincol he ran in his Rugby Togs quite right..... Take it away Cincol.... CH you have a more complete answer.... but didn't mention the rugby togs.... The answer I was looking for. Payn hosted Arthur Newton (Who won the race and went on to win 5 in total) the evening before the race, and after a number of stiff drinks, was persuaded to enter. He arrived on time for the start, wearing his rugby boots. At Hillcrest he stopped for the first time to take in a breakfast of bacon and eggs. Not much further a fellow runner, "Zulu" Wade, invited Payn for a chicken curry. This they consumed and then continued on to Drummond, where they celebrated reaching the halfway mark by drinking a beer at the hotel. Wade didn't continue, but Payn did. A woman spectator en route helped him keep his energy levels up by providing him with oranges, peach-brandy, water and tea. He finished eighth. The next day Payn took part in a club rugby match, but because his feet were blistered from the long run in rugby boots, he elected to play the match in his running shoes.
+cincol Posted October 6, 2012 Posted October 6, 2012 OK - how about a new topic. What was the South African designed ans built assault helicopter known as?
+Bouts777 Posted October 7, 2012 Posted October 7, 2012 How many Rooivalk attack helicopters were manufactured for the South African Airforce?
+cincol Posted October 8, 2012 Posted October 8, 2012 I think 12 were originally built with the idea of being used for the SAAF and for marketing purposes for NATO air forces. I know that one "crashed" during testing/development. I think 6 were eventually delivered for operational purposes.

+Wazat Posted October 12, 2012 Posted October 12, 2012 Thanks.... What very famous toy was going top be called "The Gordian Knot" before it became what it is known as today.
+Carbon Hunter Posted October 15, 2012 Posted October 15, 2012 When we (S Africans) go to Europe we need a Schengen visa. Where does the name Schengen come from?
+cincol Posted October 15, 2012 Posted October 15, 2012 Named after the town where the EU was formed.
+Wazat Posted October 15, 2012 Posted October 15, 2012 I know the Benelux one so i have a feeling this is similar.
+Carbon Hunter Posted October 16, 2012 Posted October 16, 2012 Cincol - all yours - yep in 1985 the Schengen Agreement was signed by memeber sof the European Economic Community (EEC) and the EU was the direct result of this. It is a town in Luxembourg.
+cincol Posted October 16, 2012 Posted October 16, 2012 4 types of caches have been grandfathered - name them.
+Wazat Posted October 16, 2012 Posted October 16, 2012 Webcam, Virtual, Locationless and Benchmarks.....
+cincol Posted October 17, 2012 Posted October 17, 2012 What about APE? Please note what Groundspeak has to say about APE caches below. " Project A.P.E. Cache In 2001, fourteen geocaches were placed in conjunction with 20th Century Fox to support the movie Planet of the Apes. Each cache represented a fictional story in which scientists revealed an Alternative Primate Evolution. These caches were made using specially marked ammo containers. Each cache had an original prop from the movie. Only one Project A.P.E. cache still exists today."
+cincol Posted November 2, 2012 Posted November 2, 2012 I've been away on holiday and this has not moved. I will give it to wazat as he had 3 out of 4. The 4th grandfathered cache type is "10 Years! Event Caches". All other caches are still active. See all types HERE
