Qi and General Ignorance! Empty Qi and General Ignorance!

Post by LuvSports! Thu 09 Feb 2012, 1:20 am

I am a mahoosive fan of this show and pretty much everybody on it with a dream lineup of Fry, Alan, Sean lock, Bill Bailey and Ross Noble. clap
I can remember so many of the facts off this great show and have always wanted to be the quizmaster ala the great stephen fry. angel
So this is what I am going to do, a QI quiz like thing where you will be deducted points for obvious or uninteresting answers and rewarded for the right ones and also for interesting ones. Headscratch
Is anyone interested in doing this, I think it would be quite fun but obvs i would say that as it's my idea! Very Happy
Any takers???

1) How many wives did Henry VIII have?

Two, four if you're a catholic. (if you say either you get it right)
His 4th marriage to anne of cleves was annulled as they never consummated the marriage and anne was betrothed to another duke.
The Pope said his 2nd wife's marriage to Anne Boleyn as illegal as Henry was still married to catherine of aragon.
Henry as head of the new church of england declared his first marriage invalid on the legal ground that a man couldn't sleep with his brother's widow.
He then annulled his marriage to Catherine Howard as she was unfaithful and passed an act that made this treason.


2) Where is the driest place on the planet?

Antarctica! Parts of the continent has not seen rain in 2million years.
The next place is the atacama desert in chile where no rain has fallen in 400 years, 250 times drier than the sahara as its average annual rainfall is 0.1mm.


3) What is the largest living thing?

A mushroom!
you may have some in your garden on a tree stump. The largest recorded specimen was found in Oregon, mostly underground and is 1000's of years old.

4) How long can a chicken live without its head?

The longest recorded time was 2 years back in 1947, Colorado. The chicken's head was chopped off but the axe missed the jugular and left enough of the brain stem to survive.
The owner went on to become extremely wealthy, touring the country and featuring in magazines.
Many copycat chicken beheadings occurred though most died within days Laugh
To keep him alive owner, lloyd Olsen, fed and watered the chicken using an eyedropper. Unfortunately one night the owner forgot it and the chicken choked to death Sad.

5) What do chameleons do?

They DONT change their colour to match their background. This is a huge myth that has never been proved. They change due to differing emotional states (frightened, anger, changes in light and temperature and when a sexual mate is in view) if they match the background its coincidental.
They can look in different directions with either eye and are completely deaf.

So that is it and let us go to the scores, well well well do my eyes deceive me. In first place is.......

Thankyou and goodnight!
(tune in 2mo when more questions are up!)
