Legos ...

That's it! Your turn.

 

[JamesU]

yes you can..

potatomatopatoes?

 

[honestrosewater]

Yay, finally.
You will chase this anser to a source of refreshment.

I don't mind if you google, BTW. I googled to check if the things on Legos were called studs- it's allowed unless stated otherwise, right?

[honestrosewater]

running water

No, but that's clever.

 

[Mk]

Mirage?...

 

[Huckleberry]

Yeah, it's allowed. I try to refrain when Danger is playing though. He doesn't like it. One day when everyone has google chips in their brains Danger will be the smartest man on earth.

 

[honestrosewater]

Mirage?...

Nope...

I'll need one hint to solve this. I think.

 

[Danger]

Yeah, it's allowed. I try to refrain when Danger is playing though. He doesn't like it.

I don't mind if someone has a pretty good idea and wants to double-check, although I won't do it myself. (If I did, I would have gotten the damned hovercraft question. )

One day when everyone has google chips in their brains Danger will be the smartest man on earth.

That would pretty well put an end to game shows, so maybe it's not such a bad idea. (Except for 'Jeapardy', of course. I love that one.)

 

[honestrosewater]

Clue: What's good for the female is good for the male.

Okay, but this pretty much gives it away. I'm a careful speller.

Well, I know that anser is a goose genus, but I did think that it was a typo until you said otherwise. And the goose and gander thing is clear enough. What I don't know is what the wild goose chase is about. Unless you just mean a lake or something.

I got to go to sleep now. I'll check back tomorrow afternoon.

 

[Mk]

Yeah, its either a lake, a bar, or the Himalayas. Strange combination?

Yes, you will chase a Bar-headed goose (a.k.a anser indicus) to a source of refreshment (a bar- the bar it's headed to... er um yeah). Eh, I could have done worse.

 

[Mk]

You know what? That was really freakin stupid, and unsolvable due to technical limitations. (my last one I'm overwriting) I'll think of another.

honestrosewater: I liked yours, it was clever and creative.

Ah, my genius is appreciated at last! I thought it was a real challenge to the non-googlers, but they must like a challenge anyway ;)

 

[Mk]

This one Evo might get if she comes quick enough:

Franzbear is walking in a forest and comes a clearing, where she/he/it sees a person. Franzbear is terrified, and lost, after going down that wooden rollercoaster. She asks the person where she is and he replies: Kanguru. Franzbear stands there and looks at him befuddled, and feels even more lost than before. Franzbear shoots him, then jumps off a nearby cliff, because Franzbear is seemingly random. What country is Franzbear in, and of what heritage is the person Franzbear asks?

 

[Mk]

I would guess the googlers will get this one before someone that doesn't have to does.

 

[Ivan Seeking]

Sorry, had to go.

Eratosthenes

Close enough. I was thinking of the shadow that was seen in the well at Alexandria, near the the library, but not in a deep vertical well near Syene (now Aswan), in southern Egypt, which is what clued him in.

 

[Danger]

What country is Franzbear in, and of what heritage is the person Franzbear asks?

I would expect Australia and Aboriginal.

 

[zoobyshoe]

I would expect Australia and Aboriginal.

I happen to know this is the correct anser. Your turn.

 

[Gokul43201]

Franzbear is Cap'n Cook, I take it ?

Chew on this till Danger wakes up...

In the autumn of 1789, Dr. Jo pleaded for the use of this thing on grounds of humanity and "equality". What was it ?

Would "Jo" be short for "Joseph"? And would this have anything to do with Robespierre's reign of terror during the French Revolution?

aye and aye...anser up and go next.

 

[zoobyshoe]

aye and aye...

Oh. In that case I have no idea.

 

[Gokul43201]

...and I thought this was was going to go down quick and easy; you know, no pain at all !

 

[zoobyshoe]

...and I thought this was was going to go down quick and easy; you know, no pain at all !

I have no idea what this joke about decapitation means.

During the conflict, he sometimes resorted to using old window panes.

 

[Danger]

Oh. In that case I have no idea.

You certainly better be kidding there...

edit: Never mind; your next posts came up while I was writing that.

This is not related to Gokul's quetion. It is a new clue altogether.

This is not the guy that came up with DDT, is it ? I think not...and I'm off.

BTW, the previous anser, as unansered by Zoob, was the guillotine.
