Thanks everyone! Had a really fun time last night.

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

Let's get quizzical!

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)?

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?

I would watch this Animal Olympics.

Jem · **Posted:** Wed May 12, 2021 11:25

I stand by my claim that I should have got a point for number 7.

That was one of the funniest rounds I had seen.. Thank you

I agree with Kov. I thought that was hilarious! Good work Mali.

I have a pretty good knowledge of those world records. Didn't help me get any of them right.

I'm guessing these were devised by whoever asked, "Will a boy ever be born who can swim faster than a shark?"

Tonight's details are posted.

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.

Sounds like the Gorky's Zygotic Mynci's singer getting out of the bath.

Jem · **Posted:** Tue May 18, 2021 10:04

I have a round! I can't decide if it's really easy or really hard. Guess we'll find out later! :DD

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.

Just ignore it, 'k?

You forgot option 3, "Answers not necessarily correct."

Think you're confusing me with MaliA there

:DD

TheVision · **Posted:** Tue May 18, 2021 14:40

Alas, I won't be on tonight. I've got to get up at 5 in the morning for a job and I've got quite a few things to get together for it first. On the plus side, it does give you all chance to talk about me.

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!

Kern · **Posted:** Tue May 25, 2021 10:03

It's back! 8pm, tonight!

I have a special Eurovisiony round.

Is it a single question, e.g. what was the other song James Newman once sang?

Sorry folks, I can't make tonight, it is Julie's birthday..

GazChap · **Posted:** Tue Jun 08, 2021 10:39

That's no excuse, just bring her along!

KovacsC · **Posted:** Tue Jun 08, 2021 10:43

I can ask

Kern · **Posted:** Tue Jun 08, 2021 10:57

If you email me the final scores ahead of time, I can read them out on your behalf.

KovacsC · **Posted:** Tue Jun 08, 2021 10:59

The vison won, Joans and Goddess are 0.5 points behind.

MaliA · **Posted:** Tue Jun 08, 2021 17:39

I can't attend this evening. Soz.

Warhead · Noob as of 6/8/10

Virgin media’s up and down like a fiddler’s elbow, so I may have difficulties maintaining a connection.

Malc · **Posted:** Tue Jun 08, 2021 19:54

Round finished

It's a doozy!

Warhead · Noob as of 6/8/10

Internet connection is still flaky. Can't get on to Zoom at all atm.

Kern · **Posted:** Tue Jun 08, 2021 22:11

Thanks everyone. Some brilliant rounds tonight.

As per Malc's round, me on top of Toubkal, the highest peak of the Atlas Mountains (4,167m), circa 2018:

Warhead · Noob as of 6/8/10

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.

Kern · **Posted:** Wed Jun 09, 2021 8:54

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.

Kern · **Posted:** Tue Jun 15, 2021 9:20

Updated the details. See all you tonight!

I don't think I'll be able to make it tonight on account of it being my eldests birthday tomorrow so I've got some wrapping and sorting to do.

Kern · **Posted:** Tue Jun 15, 2021 22:01

In trying to leave I ended it for everyone. Ooopss... will get the hang of this program some day.

I have ideas for five quiz rounds, but I think I'll only have two ready for the start of the quiz

GazChap · **Posted:** Mon Jun 21, 2021 9:17

I had ideas for two over the weekend and I can't bloody remember either.

Warhead · Noob as of 6/8/10

I have no ideas, but guarantee they'll be ready on time.

Jem · **Posted:** Mon Jun 21, 2021 10:51

I have a round! Woop woop.

Malc · **Posted:** Mon Jun 21, 2021 21:04

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 did that last week, and didn't really see any of the game. I might have to miss this week

Kern · **Posted:** Tue Jun 22, 2021 8:23

The football matches completely passed me by! I don't even have a wall-chart to colour in.

I'll set something up anyway for those wanting to watch three exciting events as well as those just sticking to one.

MaliA · **Posted:** Tue Jun 22, 2021 10:16

England have qualified, so that game is a dead rubber one to me. IN!

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.

Be Excellent To Each Other
