+Carbon Hunter Posted January 7, 2010 Posted January 7, 2010 Have been watching this for a while - need to go with prostrate test! Nah - wouldn't that one be the fingertip test? I assume this is just the rule of thumb??? OK - I'll go for a medical virility test?
+the pooks Posted January 7, 2010 Posted January 7, 2010 Something where the "Wasserman" is involved... Capedoc - if nobody answers soon, take us out of our misery!
+malo mystery Posted January 7, 2010 Posted January 7, 2010 (edited) Something where the "Wasserman" is involved... Capedoc - if nobody answers soon, take us out of our misery! Shame, Pooks can't wait for someone to get to the point and put an end to this itching question. Edited January 7, 2010 by malo mystery
+DamhuisClan Posted January 7, 2010 Author Posted January 7, 2010 Ok, if not the "inner" part, then maybe something to do with the "outer" dangling part?
+CapeDoc Posted January 7, 2010 Posted January 7, 2010 If your Wassermann test came up positive, what would you be suffering from? Syphilis! Leaving the Pooks well alone now, 12 men have walked on the moon. We all know the name of the first man to walk on the moon. 2 men have been to the deepest point in the ocean. Who are they? (and for interest only, when and what was the name of their vessel?)
+Discombob Posted January 7, 2010 Posted January 7, 2010 Have been watching this for a while - need to go with prostrate test! I went for a prostate test once. I wanted a second opinion, so I asked the doctor to use 2 fingers
+Midgleys_ZA Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 12 men have walked on the moon. We all know the name of the first man to walk on the moon. 2 men have been to the deepest point in the ocean. Who are they? (and for interest only, when and what was the name of their vessel?) Hmm, I am guessing that one of them may have been Cousteau. As for the name of the vessel...for some reason Atlantis comes to mind, but I am not sure.
+cownchicken Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 (edited) If it is Cousteau, his boat was called Calypso (there is a John Denver song about the boat.) Sure we are looking for a submersible vessel here though. Edited January 8, 2010 by cownchicken
+GlobalRat Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 I think the submersible was the Trieste and one of the crew was Piccard. Can't recall if it was a brother or son of the person who created the vessel, something like that. Out of interest, Cpt Jean-Luc Picard of the Star Trek genre was named after one of the Piccard's
+CapeDoc Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 Spot on GR! Jauque Picard and Don Walsh did it in the Trieste in 1960. It took over 5 hours to sink to the bottom. No one has even got close to as deep as they traveled over the 50 years since they did it. First man on the moon...pha!
+Carbon Hunter Posted January 13, 2010 Posted January 13, 2010 I guess the next obvious question is "Where is GR"?
+CapeDoc Posted January 13, 2010 Posted January 13, 2010 CH, why don't you take his place for now....Ask us one....
+trevorh7000 Posted January 13, 2010 Posted January 13, 2010 I guess the next obvious question is "Where is GR"? Answer : No where to be found!!!!!! Yay I answered correctly do I get to go now!!! Seriously we should probably have some reasonable time limit to keep the game flowing. Has any one PM'd GlobaRat to find up whats up? I once received a gentle nudge via PM that it was my turn as sometimes one gets busy and forgets to check the forums. Just so GR does not get a deluge of messages I will PM him right now so if you have not already there will be no need to now..... Trev
+Carbon Hunter Posted January 13, 2010 Posted January 13, 2010 OK - a QUICK N EASY. what is the northernmost city in Africa?
+GlobalRat Posted January 13, 2010 Posted January 13, 2010 Thanks Trev Didin't think my halfbaked answer would be in with a medal I'll try Tunis
+trevorh7000 Posted January 13, 2010 Posted January 13, 2010 I should be able to get this one as I spent quite a bit of time checking this areas out recently in GE I was mesuring how close to Africa Europe really is I am sure its wrong but for want of a better guess Tangiers? Trev
+Carbon Hunter Posted January 14, 2010 Posted January 14, 2010 Trev - you're it -Tangiers in Morocco is it.
+GlobalRat Posted January 14, 2010 Posted January 14, 2010 (edited) Trev - you're it -Tangiers in Morocco is it. Just out of interest:- Guess it is the age old question of what defines a "City". Definition varies across the world, example in Europe a general requirement is that it must have a Cathedral. Population requirements seem to vary between 5000-10000 people. In some countries it may merely be an administrative seat to qualify. Bizerte City in Tunisia is defined as a city, being the oldest city in Tunisia and the seat of local government. It's a full 2 degrees further north than Tangiers and is 13km from Ras ben Sakka which is most northern point of the African continent. Take it away Trev. Edited January 14, 2010 by GlobalRat

Good question = I just went with an Arab country energy study I have been using - and they define Tangiers as the northernmost "city" in Africa. So yes - it is subjective and I did not look further into their assumptions. Thanks for the pointer though on checking "facts"
+trevorh7000 Posted January 14, 2010 Posted January 14, 2010 Thanks - I also thought I was wrong as when I googled I also found that other place was considered the northern most. Anyway if I had not been studying that area via GE Inever would have guessed Tangier! How many people died during the construction of the Panama Canal? I'll accept to the nearest couple of thousand!!! Trev
+the pooks Posted January 15, 2010 Posted January 15, 2010 (edited) My guess 25000 Edited January 15, 2010 by the pooks
+malo mystery Posted January 15, 2010 Posted January 15, 2010 It all sounds a bit horrific - nearest couple of thousand. My guess would be 17 000.
+GlobalRat Posted January 15, 2010 Posted January 15, 2010 Darn, Pooks took my number. I'm sure they are close, recall Paul Theroux's description of events in The Patagonian Express. Most workers died of disease. My lottery pick is.........mmm...... 30000 then.
+CapeDoc Posted January 15, 2010 Posted January 15, 2010 Interested to see the answer (though I thought that it may have been a similar question about Bain's Kloof Pass, knowing the Pooks). I'll opt for the bigger figures..... 750 000
+DamhuisClan Posted January 16, 2010 Author Posted January 16, 2010 My guess would be a little lower. Lets say 110 000. Wasn't it there were they had problems with mosquitoes, and washed the whole site down with soap, and till today there are very few mosquitoes. If that is the case then maybe my number is a little low?
+Cape Geckos Posted January 17, 2010 Posted January 17, 2010 I seem to recall watching something on the Disco Channel ages ago that said about 10000 if my memory serves me correctly. But then again, of all the things I've i lost...
+trevorh7000 Posted January 17, 2010 Posted January 17, 2010 (edited) Sorry all - I was away in Arniston for the weekend and had no Internet access! The answer is 27500 (according to the Wikipedia article so Pooks take it away Trev Edited January 17, 2010 by trevorh7000
+the pooks Posted January 18, 2010 Posted January 18, 2010 Sorry all - I was away in Arniston for the weekend and had no Internet access! The answer is 27500 (according to the Wikipedia article so Pooks take it away Trev That was so lucky. I first guessed 40 000 and then thought well the question said "to the nearest couple of thousand" so I thought maybe not so many 10s of thousands, and maybe something in-between. What are Sodium Thiopental, Pancuronium Bromide, and Potassium Chloride taken in that order?

+CapeDoc Posted January 18, 2010 Posted January 18, 2010 Sounds like a lethal injection when administering a death sentence. Sodium Thiopental......time to count some sheep Pancuronium Bromide....get those muscles really relaxed....even the diaphragm will rest Potassium Chloride....given in high doses will stop the ticker All sounds quite pleasant......but....
+the pooks Posted January 18, 2010 Posted January 18, 2010 Sounds like a lethal injection when administering a death sentence. The lethal injection used to execute prisoners in the USA That was quick - your turn Globalrat (and thanks Capedoc for the extra info)
+Discombob Posted January 18, 2010 Posted January 18, 2010 I was going to say salt, tequila and lemon, but I guess there was no NaCl there

+cincol Posted January 18, 2010 Posted January 18, 2010 We have just given the English a drumming in the final test at the Wanderers. What was fairly unique about the match itself and the series? [Hint: It has to do with 2 awards that were made.]
+cownchicken Posted January 19, 2010 Posted January 19, 2010 (edited) Could one of them have been the joint Man of the Series award between Boucher and Swann? Two 'Man of the Match' the other one? Edited January 19, 2010 by cownchicken
+cincol Posted January 19, 2010 Posted January 19, 2010 Could one of them have been the joint Man of the Series award between Boucher and Swann? Two 'Man of the Match' the other one? Spot on CnC! Normally there is only ONE winner. In this case BOTH Series and match had joint winners. Cannot think of any other series where that has happened.
+cownchicken Posted January 19, 2010 Posted January 19, 2010 In the South African music industry who is André le Roux du Toit better known as?
+the pooks Posted January 19, 2010 Posted January 19, 2010 Thanks CnC Some people think that Belgium is only known for it's chocolate. This is as wrong as you can be so here's a double question: 1: The first synthetic material was invented by a Belgian: name the inventor or name of the material 2: A musical instrument was invented by a Belgian: Which instrument (bonus: name the inventor).
+Discombob Posted January 19, 2010 Posted January 19, 2010 Boo, down with double questions After all if 2 players each get one question right, who gets to ask the next question
+the pooks Posted January 19, 2010 Posted January 19, 2010 Boo, down with double questions After all if 2 players each get one question right, who gets to ask the next question It's all a fun thing, so I'm very relaxed about it. I've already thought of the case where 2 players each get one question right I'll just volunteer that any of the two can ask the next question on a first come first ask basis. If somebody gets one right and nothing else is forthcoming then the one answer is good enough...
