Let's see how this week goes.<br /><br />1. Should probably punt this one to the wife as she's the textile engineer. <b>Wife</b>: <i>Hmm, I'm not sure, that is intriguing</i>. <b>Me</b>: Didn't they teach you anything in that school? <b>Wife</b>: <i>#$@&^ YOU</i>. <b>Me</b>: Fine, make your own damn dinner tonight.<br />2. Tintin? Nope, it's that <a href="http://soquoted.blogspot.com/2006/10/at-least-he-expects-pigeon-to-crap-on.html">green asshole</a>. Never knew he had a sister.<br />3. My guess was "the guy from the 'Count of Monte Cristo'." Embarrassingly wrong. In my defense, I don't think The Specials ever mentioned this information in <a href="http://www.thespecials.com/lyricview.php?sid=43">their song</a>. Because I get all my news from ska.<br />4. Montana and....Bradshaw? I think he only had three, but it's the only other name I can think of.<br />5. Skylab.<br />6. Guy mooches off his parents and hangs out in his friend's backyard for a year. Good one Henry, can't figure out why I've never read it.<br />7. <i>Das Rheingold begins with a 136-bar unmodulating prelude based on the chord of E flat major that is meant to represent the eternal unchanging motions of the River Rhine. It is considered the best known drone piece in the concert repertory, lasting approximately four minutes</i>. Surely, the correct answer isn't a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drone_%28music%29">drone</a>?<br /><br />Give me three points, plus a bonus for the football question.billhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16116980864333670109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17320859.post-41605108195109836532007-02-06T05:49:00.000-08:002007-02-06T05:49:00.000-08:00You should check out the thread at the snopes mess...You should check out the thread at the snopes message board for a weekly discussion of Ken's trivia at http://message.snopes.com/showthread.php?t=200&highlight=jenningsChrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12713517483014012551noreply@blogger.com
