Ahem..... A "jumper" is what we North Americans call a sweater.

That's not the question though is it?

Back to the earlier topic, does everyone remember what patty's name was when she was part of the "army"?

...................... (Tanya.)

Also, did the Symbionese ever actually get liberated? If so, from what? And what the fuck exactly is a Symbionese?

Some changes to the rules to keep it moving along.

 

- There can be 3 questions live at any time, to give the guys in the various time zones a chance to play.. 

- You only get one chance to answer each question.

- If after 4 or 5 attempts to answer a question it seems obvious nobody knows it, the questionnaire gives the answer and we move on.

- Anyone can ask the next question.

Here is one for all you Homos out there,

 

Name the 3 (or possibly 4) species of the genus Homo alive 50,000 years old

I thought there were maybe about five branches of the homos genus happily romping around together about 50 million years ago?... Floriensis (maybe)? Neandertalis, Erectus (maybe)? Sapiens (us), Hidlebergensis.... Please forgive the spellings.

 

And then you'd have no doubt had Homosexulsis & in all probability Homophobicious too, potentially bringing up to seven :db:

Thanks BB. Okay, finally my chance to ask a question, here goes:

Everyone knows that Pink Floyd was named after Syd Barrett's two favorite musicians, American blues musicians Pink Anderson and Floyd Council.

And everyone knows that the wish you were here album featured their magnum opus "shine on you crazy diamond parts one through nine" which was dedicated to Barrett who had long since left the band, becoming one of the first acid casualties of the 60s psychedelic era.

To answer this question correctly, either give me Syd's real first name, or what the overall theme of the wish you were album was said to be, by Roger Waters who wrote all the lyrics? The theme can be summed up in a single word, beginning with the letter a.

So at the moment we have 3 live ones.

Jumper

Homo

Pink Floyd

We need answers before we can add another. :search:

Need a ruling from the judge/quizmaster on the Homo question.

After placing my answer, I checked, and Google seems to show many different answers. If the quizmaster is correct and limiting it to three, then my answer could be considered correct. If he wants to extend it to four, then I'm not sure how I scored. One response I saw on Google indicated that there could be eight different genus of Homo.

P.S. - I would think it goes without saying that the questioner should be strongly encouraged to have a definitive answer to any quiz question that he poses. Otherwise this will degenerate into a Karel Pilkington "Rock Busters" exercise in futility.

50 million years ago there were none. I think 5 million years is when the split from chimps occurred.
