1. That must have been during the battle of Chester. Didn't know what year but found it on the interweb.

And i thought google would not find that one.

You're likely safe from Google on the cow manure and philosopher one though - too many hits.

INTERNET. What is with people starting to call the internet the interweb? I've seen it a few times and it makes me want to rap them on the knuckles.

Sorry, but that's INTERNETWORK!
 


Calling it the interweb is ace, though more precisely it should be "t'interweb" in a Yorkshire accent. 'Interthing' is a pretty good synonym.

I knew about the battle of Chester already; I just found the year (or years) on the interweb.

AAARRRGHHH!

Come here and hold out your hands...
 


"2. Where can a Roman emperor be found with 90km diameter."

You sure it's km? My google search keeps trying to correct it to mm. The only km hit I get is this PF thread...


EDIT -- Ouch! Evo, cut it out. I didn't even mention the inter-whatever! All I said was "google"...

How about if I just add it as a tag to this thread? Not that I know how to add tags...

*runs and hides from cast klonks and bans...*

Here you go: Julius was 90km wide

3. Who was the philosopher who tried to cure his sight with cow manure and baking in the sun.
My guesses would be Gandhi or Pliny.

I know I've read about the eye thing, and it's driving me nuts.

I don't think I could say interweb for a whole week. :rolleyes: :biggrin:

(Actually, I thought it was a British thing since it seems it's the Brits calling it the interweb usually. Sort of like their answerphone contraptions...is voicemail the same in both English languages?)

I am sure if anyone will get you will, but do not cry over it.

Interweb would be more descriptive as it branches in any old direction not a grid like pattern.
Or even it is chaotic , so may be intermess would be better.
 


anything's better than what my girlfriend thinks it is "innernet"
