Is Uri Geller the Real-Life Wizard of Oz?

[decibel]

who is Uri Geller?

 

[check]

Isn't he the guy who claims he can bend spoons by the power of his mind while rubbing then?

 

[Gokul43201]

Check, it's now your turn to ask a "who is ..." question

 

[check]

Oh is that how this works?

Ok... HMMM...

Who is...

Bronson Pinchot?

No googling!

Why'd I have to pick such a lame person? lol

 

[Gokul43201]

Bronson Pinchot is an actor. Are you looking for something more specific...I really don't know anything more than that.

 

[Math Is Hard]

OK, Gokul, you started it. Now you have to ask a "who is" question!

 

[Gokul43201]

Who is a famous mystical seer named after the Virgin Mary ?

 

[check]

Pinchot played Balki on Perfect Strangers. Wasn't that the best show ever? lol

 

[Math Is Hard]

Would this be Maria Esperanza (from South America, I think?)

Who is the host of the TV show "Crossing Over"?

 

[check]

John Edwards

 

[check]

Who the the bassist for Green Day?

 

[Gokul43201]

Who the the bassist for Green Day?

No idea about this (don't even know the names of the vocalist and lead player), but I had Nostradamus in mind, for my question.

MiH, are you losing touch with your Latin ?

(Nevertheless, Maria Esperanza works too)

 

[check]

ok, It's Mike Dirnt. That was a tough one.
I'll pick an easier one for us science folks:
Who was Charles Lyell?

 

[Jeebus]

Wasn't he a friend of Darwin?

 

[selfAdjoint]

Geologist.

 

[check]

jeebus, close, he is definitely tied to Darwin.

selfAdjoint, I guess that's correct. He's generally regarded as the father of geology.

When Darwin first set sail on his now famous voyage on the Beagle, he got sea sick fairly quickly. The only thing he could do to feel better was to lay down. Since he spend so much time in bed, all he could do was read. He read 'The Principles of Geology' by Lyell during this time, which sparked his interest in the dynamics of the Earth and living things on it.

ok self, u go.

 

[Janitor]

Who is John Gault?

 

[Math Is Hard]

MiH, are you losing touch with your Latin ?

...Ut si!

 

[Math Is Hard]

Oh, and John Gault was in Atlas Shrugged (Ayn Rand). I think that's the right novel. Been awhile.

Who is Romeo Blue?

 

[jimmy p]

Who is Romeo Blue?

A French Band.

Where's Waldo?... wait... who is David Blunkett?

 

[Math Is Hard]

Sorry, Jimmy - but Romeo Blue is the former stage name of singer, Lenny Kravitz.

Who is Wilford Brimley?

 

[Zantra]

wilford brimley used to be the pitchman for quaker oatmeal, but he's done various things like life insurance... Done secondary parts in films like "the firm". Big movies were cocoon and cocoon 2. And I think he had a tv show called "our house" way back when. That's as far as I recall...if he did more it was before my time...

 

[Gokul43201]

Zantra, your question...

 

[Math Is Hard]

Perfect! Wasn't he great in The Firm?! So weird to see the oatmeal man being a SINISTER character!

OK, Zantra, your turn to ask a "Who Is?" question.

 

[Zantra]

whois soleil moonfrye?

 

[Evo]

She was a child star, she was "punky brewster".

(can't believe I remember this)

 

[Janitor]

Who is Moon Unit Zappa?

 

[Evo]

She's the sister of Dweezil and daughter of Frank.

Who is Archibald Leach?

 

[decibel]

Archibald Leach was an actor also known as Cary Grant.

Who was Karl Marx?

 

[Gokul43201]

Is this a trick question ?? Karl Marx was a 19th century German philosopher and social scientist (does that noun exist ?) who is considered the father of Marxist Socialism.

Who is Reverend Charles Lutwidge Dodgson ?

 

[poolwin2001]

Is that the mathematician who wrote the horrible classic alice in wonderland?

 

[Gokul43201]

Since you're not asking, I will :

Who is Ehrich Weiss ?

 

[poolwin2001]

I used to be crazy about magic(still am)

Who is Sir John Ryan ?

 

[poolwin2001]

Hero of the movie 'patriot games'?
Obviously,we have similar tastes Gokul43201

 

[Nereid]

You going to ask a 'who is?' poolwin2001?

 

[poolwin2001]

Who is Mohandas Karam Chand?(hint:Gokul is absolutely forbidden to answer)

 

[Gokul43201]

Yes Sir John Ryan is Tom Clancy's protagonist, and he gets knighted (yeah, okay ) in Patriot Games for saving the Royal family from a breakaway wing of the IRA.

Poolwin, I saw BttF again only a couple of days ago...so I kinda got lucky there.

Who is the Celtic God of War worshipped in France about 2 millennia ago ?

Oops : This question goes into storage for now.

PS : I shall defer on Poolwin's question.

 

[Zantra]

AKA Ghandi- known for his pacifism.. I'll spare the long winded biography.

[poolwin2001]

TOUTATIS(speel cheek )

[Gokul43201]

who is roland fairchild ?

I thought this name sounded familiar, but I may be getting confused with the Rothschilds...

 

[poolwin2001]

Roland fairchild ?I give up who is..?

 

[arildno]

It's not the Roland in "Chanson de Roland" is it??
(Can't be..)

 

[Motifs]

Interviewers: Who is Motifs ?

Motifs: Thanks, that is what I guess a lot of people are wondering. Anyway, I think I should have an self-introduction first so as not to be any impolite to all of you, my fans! I am a real fan of TV games, I spend at least 6 hours a day for games only because I try to conquer all of them but unfortunately have never made any success.
I love mathematics and coding theory. Here is an evidence I thought up just a few minutes ago about how to prove number 7 is really sick[/size].
Lets call Motifs ME and call Steve 7.
In a trivial counting problem for kids under 7, which i am sure all of you have experienced and finished, we all know that when we count upwards or downwards, 7 is also standing before or after 6.
It is a fact that even a kid realize: ...5.6.7.8...
I am really passive and Steve is an active person. So, he is always trying to do lots of things to make things move on...
Now let him(STEVE) put ME in any position in the above number series.

Case 1: ...ME.5.6.7.8...
You see that ME five SIX SEVEN eight..

Case 2:...5.ME.6.7.8...
Again Five is before ME, after ME is SIX SEVEN

Case 3:...5.6.ME.7.8...
In this special case, do you think it is what I said or Steven did ? It is him who always tries to gain an active position (a real multiple active user-sometimes Uniform sometimes Multiforms). Correct ?

Case 4: ...5.6.7.ME.8...
One more time, it is SEVEN who is actually after SIKS
The last case is meaningless to me because 6 is before 7...

Hmmm, is there any correction you think I should make in the above proof ?
By the way, anyone DARES not CARES to give me some information about WHO THE FOOK is this 6 Seven ?

As far as I can see, not only CANADIAN but AUTRALIAN is also really AFRAID to handle THIS THING, even though it was/is completely WRONG. and Actually THIS FOOKING THING HAS ALWAYS BEEN WRONG UP TO NOW.

So, DARE to tell me who the FUUK that topper is?

 

[Nereid]

Er, Motifs, it would seem that your post is way OT. What do other 'regulars' to this thread think?

 

[Gokul43201]

Motifs seems to have a thing for the number 7. I won't even attempt to penetrate the fog here...

 

[Math Is Hard]

Gosh, I thought I was getting better at math, but I sure didn't understand what Motifs posted. *sigh*
Can we play the "who is" game some more, though, please? huh? huh? That was fun.

 

[Ivan Seeking]

Who was

Marion Morrison

 

[Math Is Hard]

Can we rule out any relation to The Lizard King?

 

[Gokul43201]

Marion Morrison is some famous dude's real name. I'm sure of this...it was like Buddy Holly or some pretty well known dude like that.

Dude, I know I've heard this before...I bet I'd get it if you gave me 5 choices. But for now, I'll go with Buddy Holly...dude !
