Thanks everyone! Had a really fun time last night.

The book I mentioned for all your beary goodness is Bears by Bernd Brunner.

ZOMG Spoiler! Click here to view!
1) How many legs does the White Millipede Illacme plenipes have?
2) what animal has the longest arms?
3) By how much (2x, 3x etc) does a hippo bite harder than a human?
4) if you set the bar at the current men's world record pole vault height, could a giraffe walk under it without ducking?
5) Could the men's world record holder for the high jump jump over a grizzly bear?
6) could the women's world record holder for the high jump jump over an ostrich?
7) could the Olympic record holder in the women's 75kg+ weight category clean and jerk two ringed seals (one on either end of barbell)?
8) Could the men's world record holder throw a shot out the length of a sperm whale?
9) Could the men's world record long jump jumper jump the length of the longest recorded reticulated python?
10) Could a human triple jump the length of a bowhead whale?

Appreciate it clashes with the Eurosemis, but you could always have it on in the background and laugh at the outrageous costumes and over-the-top performances whilst watching the song contest.

Or just record it to watch later. If people start getting distracted by that thing they clearly don't have their priorities tight.

I've got a round. It's been thoroughly tested, so will probably go tits-up tonight.

Be nice to expand the weekly "Gah, TV!" section out of the first few minutes.

I'll say it here, though, before stabbing you in the back later: good luck tomorrow!

Post subject:  Re: BeeX Virtual Meet & Quiz
I heard the answers for round 1, up to Q13, and had 10 correct. Then t'internet just kicked me out and I couldn't get back in. Virgin didn't get its act together until around 9:45, so it wasn't worth trying to rejoin at that stage. Pity, as I'm pretty sure I'd have got two of the remaining three answers correct.

Post subject:  Re: BeeX Virtual Meet & Quiz
Malc's "What would All Saints/Rick Ashley/Brian Adams/Meat Loaf do or not do" round was brilliant. Did really well on it too, which is rare for me and music rounds. Got rick-rolled a couple of times though.

Only recognised half of TheVision's friends, but there was an amazing lineup.

I've just twigged, the England game is on at the same time as this!

Argh! I've not missed a Tuesday yet, and I've not missed any England game where they've played in the finals of the Euros/World cup since England v Netherlands at Euro 96 (and even then I listened on the radio (via real player I think!) whilst working). Really not sure what to do!

I'm having it on on a second screen. I've not watched a game this tournament, though, so I am highly on the 'mildly distracted' scale, to your 'actually interested'.

I couldn't give two tuppeny turds about the Euros.

But I'm on call again this week, though I doubt many places will want calls attending out-of-hours tonight.

I've got a round that's not logos or middle eights that I robbed of a certain website.

There may be a logo round as well, if i'm home early enough to fettle it.
