Quietguy Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 Obviously no astronomers or Greek speakers on here. The answer is Sirius, also known as Alpha Canis Majoris or the Dog Star. 8.611 light years from Earth. 2 Quote Link to comment
Quietguy Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 Venus is known as the Evening Star as it is the brightest in the night sky. Also the first to be seen in the evening. Usually seen closest to the moon. 2 Quote Link to comment

Vega is the brightest after Arcturus that is the brightest in teh northern hemisphere). At the romantime, Sirius was called the small dog by Egyptian people. In ancient Egypt the arrival of the star Sirius warned of the annual flooding of the Nile. That was also a hot season that which resulted in the melting of snow in Kilimanjaro. The small dog, canicula in latine gave the word "canicula" for a heat wave in many European languages. 4 Quote Link to comment

blind boy grunt Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 okay, me being impressed by Quinns dedication to Quiz nights, And Quietguy's knowledge of stars and planets. Here's a question: But first a clue.. The answer isn't the aforementioned Quietguy, although it is heavily rumoured [well it is now..] that he shot 5 guys before he was 12, or maybe 12 guys before he was 5, one of them anyway.. This of course was long before he retired from being a Gunslinger to ride with Fidel and Che. And even before he recently opened a Afgnani trannie's grooming emporium in West London. So, the answer isn't Quietguy [Kid Poke]... the question is 'Which Gunslinger is considered to have been the biggest KIller in the wild west? 2 Quote Link to comment

Although in American folk tradition, just like Billy the Kid , Bonnie and Clyde and others of that ilk. , he's become a bit of a Robin Hood. figure. But obviously no Wild West cowpoke fans on here, Lefty or Seven certainly would get it with this with this, the last clue.. back around 1967, Bob Dylan released a country album titled with the gunslingers name but slightly mis-spelt Quote Link to comment

blind boy grunt Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 actually thinking about Hollywood movies, how many people nowadays would have heard of say, Bonnie and Clyde or Butch Cassidy without the 2 movies? how many think that Butch and Sundance were happy-go lucky fellows, blowing up the occasional train..and not the cold-blooded killers they really were.
