+Carbon Hunter Posted September 27, 2011 Posted September 27, 2011 They are the top movie/series in their respective genres?
+VryBurgers Posted September 27, 2011 Posted September 27, 2011 That may be, CH, but it is not what I am looking for. Would you like a clue?
+7Gryph7 Posted September 28, 2011 Posted September 28, 2011 do they all have action figures for the characters?
+VryBurgers Posted September 28, 2011 Posted September 28, 2011 Getting closer, Gryph, but not quite...
+Carbon Hunter Posted September 28, 2011 Posted September 28, 2011 Top ranked music or soundtracks? All had characters that were used in other movies?
+Bouts777 Posted September 28, 2011 Posted September 28, 2011 All were based on actual events and/or people. Except Platoon, that's just way off.
+Discombob Posted September 28, 2011 Posted September 28, 2011 They have all had computer games made about them Not sure if the A Team have though
+VryBurgers Posted September 28, 2011 Posted September 28, 2011 Close Discobomb! Not quite computer games... but almost. Should I give you a Clue?
+Wazat Posted September 29, 2011 Posted September 29, 2011 They are all in the first edition of Trivial Pursuit.....
+VryBurgers Posted September 29, 2011 Posted September 29, 2011 100% Chinga! They all have board game version themed on the movie/series. Battlestar Galactica is apparently a very nice co-operative game. So over to you Chinga...

Battlestar Galactica is apparently a very nice co-operative game. So over to you Chinga... Bah, I first thought of board games, as I play board games about twice a week, and play Battlestar galactica a lot, and there are about 10 different lord of the ring board games, but I have never heard of an A team, Spiderman or platoon board game
+VryBurgers Posted September 29, 2011 Posted September 29, 2011 Discobob, I am currently waiting for Carcassonne and Shadows over Camelot to arrive. Luckily I ordered it just before the Rand plummeted. What do you guys play? Chinga, still over to you...
+cincol Posted September 29, 2011 Posted September 29, 2011 Anyone know what spirit of hartshorn is? Epsom Salts.
chingha Posted September 29, 2011 Posted September 29, 2011 Right idea cincol but not correct. Try taking it very literally.
+Carbon Hunter Posted September 30, 2011 Posted September 30, 2011 Carcassone is great - we have most of the versions! Excellent.
+Carbon Hunter Posted September 30, 2011 Posted September 30, 2011 The solution made from antelope horn for medicinal purpoes (similar to rhino hiorn)?
+7Gryph7 Posted September 30, 2011 Posted September 30, 2011 (edited) Right idea cincol but not correct. Try taking it very literally. more literally ? smelling salts ? edit: inserted quote Edited September 30, 2011 by 7Gryph7

Try taking it very literally. more literally ? smelling salts ? edit: inserted quote Thats it 7Gryph7 Smelling salts or more correctly ammonia was extracted from a distillate of deer (in older English a hart or stag) and cattle horns and hooves. Today is it obtained via other chemical processes. Carbon Hunter: "The solution made from antelope horn for medicinal purpoes (similar to rhino hiorn)? " Maybe smelling salts would work for you instead of rhino horn, who am I to judge Edited October 3, 2011 by chingha
+7Gryph7 Posted October 3, 2011 Posted October 3, 2011 (edited) hehehe. ok. could be a easy one. Who is Tenzing Norgay? or at least, what is his claim to fame? Edited October 3, 2011 by 7Gryph7
+Carbon Hunter Posted October 3, 2011 Posted October 3, 2011 He was the Sherpa that accompanyed Edmund Hillary to the top of Everest on the first sucessful summit
+Carbon Hunter Posted October 3, 2011 Posted October 3, 2011 (edited) Feeling confident - and have a question that is burning to be asked - especially with the Rugby World Cup getting to the knock out stages and all that controversy over the Red Card in Samoa. I had a really good question about samoa but decided on this "red card" question! Please identify the player throwing the punch. Edited October 3, 2011 by Carbon Hunter
+VryBurgers Posted October 3, 2011 Posted October 3, 2011 That almost looks like a young Elvis Presley...
+Carbon Hunter Posted October 3, 2011 Posted October 3, 2011 Not quite - but is a match played a good few years ago.
+Carbon Hunter Posted October 4, 2011 Posted October 4, 2011 OK - lets take some flyers - clue - match played in 1968 - this person is NOT known for his rugby - but he was/is famous for other reasons.
+Carbon Hunter Posted October 4, 2011 Posted October 4, 2011 And this is a GENUINE photo - no photoshop or anything else.
+DRDM & Raider Posted October 4, 2011 Posted October 4, 2011 George W. Bush. http://www.snopes.com/politics/bush/rugby.asp
+Carbon Hunter Posted October 4, 2011 Posted October 4, 2011 Thats the one - yep George Dubya Bush - played for Yale University 1st XV. And this was captured in a local news story back in 1968. You're it.
+DRDM & Raider Posted October 4, 2011 Posted October 4, 2011 What animal, when dropped from a low height, will shatter and die ?
+Midgleys_ZA Posted October 4, 2011 Posted October 4, 2011 What animal, when dropped from a low height, will shatter and die ? I suspect a live pansy shell would break apart pretty easily.
+Midgleys_ZA Posted October 4, 2011 Posted October 4, 2011 What animal, when dropped from a low height, will shatter and die ? I suspect a live pansy shell would break apart pretty easily. On second thoughts, the question said "shatter" so one of those branched corals would do that. and since it would no longer be attached to the reef it would die.
+7Gryph7 Posted October 4, 2011 Posted October 4, 2011 I heard a rumour that a tarantula would shatter if dropped. dont know if its true? havent tested it yet.
+DRDM & Raider Posted October 5, 2011 Posted October 5, 2011 I heard a rumour that a tarantula would shatter if dropped. dont know if its true? havent tested it yet. 100% correct! Weird Fact: If you drop a tarantula it will shatter First of all, unless you are allergic to tarantula venom, they are harmless to humans (though they pack a painful bite). Some tarantulas can also shoot the “hairs” off their legs which can pierce human skin and cause great discomfort. Now – back to the weird fact. Tarantulas have an exoskeleton (that means its skeleton is on the outside) like crayfish and crabs. They shed their exoskeleton regularly – normally by lying on their back. (When they are shedding their skeleton, it is a good idea to keep right away from them as they will attack due to their vulnerable state.) Because the exoskeleton is very fragile, if a tarantula is dropped from a low height, it will shatter and die.
+7Gryph7 Posted October 5, 2011 Posted October 5, 2011 (edited) 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. Edited October 5, 2011 by 7Gryph7
+cincol Posted October 5, 2011 Posted October 5, 2011 Emirates Airlines had their inaugural flight of the Airbus A380 "Superjumbo" to Johannesburg this week. It was launched in October 2007 to which airline?
+the pooks Posted October 5, 2011 Posted October 5, 2011 Japan/nippon airlines? (not sure what they are called)
+cincol Posted October 6, 2011 Posted October 6, 2011 Japan/nippon airlines? (not sure what they are called) There is Japan Airlines - JAL - nope, not them. There is also All Nippon Airline - ANA. They are the launch customer for the 787 Dreamliner from Boeing later this year. Sorry, but no cigar.
+cincol Posted October 6, 2011 Posted October 6, 2011 (edited) Qantas? Qantas was #2. Emirates was #3, but also the BIGGEST customer by far to place orders. Oh, and BTW, some Saudi Prince has ordered a "personalized" A380 and paid cash with the order!! Edited October 6, 2011 by cincol
+Carbon Hunter Posted October 6, 2011 Posted October 6, 2011 I know it wasn't Qatar - but one of the SE Asian lines - Singapore?
