Posted by: joe90 on 26 March 2007

Let's have some fun.

This section of the forum can be a bit doom-and-gloom.

Answer the question and then ask another.

I'll start.

Q. What was the name of the B29 Superfortress that dropped the second atomic bomb? Correct spelling please.

Well done Mark. One of my favourite lines 'Lord of the Rings' but do you know who was first told in a dream to 'seek for the sword that was broken....'

Well done Mark. Bit of a tricky question as it was Boromir who actually went to seek the sword but he tells us at the council of Elrond that the dream came first to his brother.

According to Wikepedia:

* Euterpe (muse of lyric song)
* Clio (muse of history)
* Erato (muse of erotic poetry)
* Melpomene (muse of tragedy)
* Polyhymnia (muse of sacred song)
* Terpsichore (muse of dance)
* Thalia (muse of comedy and bucolic poetry)
* Urania (muse of astronomy)

I only knew two - Terpsichore and Clio - (oh the shame) Frown

What is this a photo of?

Posted on: 24 April 2007 by Beano
I dunno, but I'd say it was a diseased liver?

Or perhaps an uncooked, dead mans thigh, like you see being slowly cooked via a candle in a kebab shop?

Is it one of those "Haggis" things the Scots eat?

It is a diseased liver - Cirrhosis (scarring of the liver) photo courtesy of our Mick. Winker Beano goes to the top of the class.
