Following the trend on here, I'll give the first question, answer it and ask another pub quiz question

Which well known children's book includes the chapter "The Piper at the Gates of Dawn"?

The Eyptians ?

Doubtful I reckon, KK.

Not so much as a quiz question as an invitation for debate......?

If the Egyptians did build them, they didn't write much about it and considering their otherwise well documented history, I'd have thought the world's gretaest monuments would have been worthy of a bigger mention, perhaps?

The Welsh built the pyramids.

we did??

Well if it wasn't the Egyptians, maybe it was us!

Maybe it was Aliens ?

Maybe it was, or maybe a "lost civilisation"?

The Sphinx has some evidence that it may be as old as 10,500BC.

Whoever made them they were and away ahead of their time .

Pure pathos KK

I saw something a few years ago where they noticed a similarity between the boats on the Nile and the ones the Mayans used.

So maybe they sailed over... built the pyramids - then buggered off again when the climate changed?

There are some similarities between the cultures so it would not surprise me if they were contected in someway .

It's like the other day during the Test in Perth - the local tribe gave a 'Welcome' to the Indian team and for a moment it struck me how similar the language sounded - and the physical appearance too seemed very alike.

It kind of proves the theory of the migration down through the Indonesian Archipelago tens of thousands of years ago - most likely by people of Indian stock. (well to me anyway...)

Anyone want to get this started again with a question ?

Who was the first ever Welsh rugby player to come on as a replacement (due to injury) in a Test match?

aaaaah I so used to know this one. It's like the name is right on the outskirts of my brain but I just can't see it. bah, going to be so annoyed when someone else gets it....

Evans.

Edwards

Jones

Davies

I think it was actually the great Phil Bennett

Quite right, Rava - Phil Bennett came on as a substitute for the injured Gerald Davies in Paris in (I think) 1969.

Bennett was going to be my next guess.....

Aye right

Oooooo Rava, it so was.

What links a character from The Simpsons(not in the family itself) and Richard Nixon?

Tricky Dicky?

Is it Maude Flanders, because both of them are dead?

Isnt Milhouse his middle name?

Yeah, I think Mac is right with that one

Adam D wrote:Isnt Milhouse his middle name?

Milhouse? Who's Milhouse and who is the "his"?

TwisT wrote:Yeah, I think Mac is right with that one

And who the feck is Mac?!

Cryptic.com

Richard Milhous Nixon and Milhouse Van something or other!

I think that is the connection

Adam, you're right it's Milhouse Van Houten. He's Bart's bestest mate.

Well feck me, what kind of a screwed-up doodle-dandy name is Milhouse anyway?

Shouldn't it have two 'L's?

As I think I got it right and the theme is middle names and the Simpsons - what is Homers middle name?

Bilston?

Jay

Who is the voice of Homer?

Dan Castenaleta (or something like that!)

Okay, these are two easy - what film is the character of Gil loosely based from and who played that character in the film?

Near enough Adam

Let's get this thread going again.

What's the shortest verse in the Bible?

Jesus wept.

As Eve discovered shoe-shops, fluffy-tings, evil-ness and fashion.

In that very moment, when he knew he had to go shopping with her(he had to invent shops too) - He knew then, he'd phhoked it all right up.

What was the medical specialty of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle?

I would guess that he was involved in heroin of some sorts - maybe a cold turkey therapist.

Alternatively, I would guess forensic specialist - CSI Doctor Watson so to speak.

He was a GP I believe.

Mortician? Mwahhahaha.

Surgeon ?

Chemist?

Oi! Gibbo! We're quizzing here!
