5) What is a camel's hair brush made of?

That is a trick question, camel's don't brush their hair.

 

[Artman]

5) What is a camel's hair brush made of?
That is a trick question, camel's don't brush their hair.

Darn, I answered "true" to that. It's obviously false.

 

[matthyaouw]

6) The Canary Islands in the Pacific are named after what animal?

I don't know about the ones in the Pacific, but the one's in the Atlantic are named after the dog.
I think I should get two points for that one.


I'm pretty sure cat gut is sheep too.

 

[Jonny_trigonometry]

Bad boy!

 

[Jonny_trigonometry]

Man jonny, you got #R wrong.

what?? no way, I double checked! then I triple checked, then I checked an Rth time and I'm sure it's right.! oh man.

 

[mathwonk]

as a child i enjoyed groucho,marx's show,in which every week, the consolation question was always; "who was buried in grant's tomb?"i also remember wondering the first few times, what the answer was.

 

[Jonny_trigonometry]

thats a good question... who was buried in grant's tomb? Better yet, which Grant? It couldn't be my friend Grant, because he's not dead yet, unless someone buried someone else in his tomb already! I'll have to ask him if he's made himself a tomb yet, if at all... Maybe some dude named Grant owned a tomb a long time ago, and he sold it to someone else, and that someone else is buried there.

2) Well it definitely aint Panama. Ecuador as suggested?
3) I do not know what a catgut is. I might know it in finnish :)
4) Here the problem lies in the calendar system. The use gregorian and julian calenders have mixed this up

7) no idea

Oh my word, did I really add a posessive apostrophe to that? I'm so ashamed

Who would brush a camel?

AS wolram mentioned no one even itself!

11. Where can you find SpaceTiger?

 

[SpaceTiger]

11. Where can you find SpaceTiger?

In the holding pen with a cardboard mock-up of Frodo Baggins. One of these days he's going to help me find my precious.

 

[Lisa!]

Another tricky question! I thought we could find him in space. :shy:
