No, Calvinist.

Why isn't anyone else participating? Do we need to make the questions easier? Its not as much fun without competition, both racing to get the answer! That's the thrill!

Of the 8 great Neolithic founder crops, one of which's oil was boiled for a paint binder or wood finisher. Approximately how many kilojoules of food energy does the oil store per 0.1 kilograms?

Wow this thread is very informative. I've learned so many things I didn't know.

 

[Mk]

Clue: Linaceae

No idea about the food energy value, but i think flax was used for just about every thing way back then.

 

[brewnog]

Ooooh, not played this thread for ages!

Linseed?

 

[Mk]

Yes, you are both on the right track.

 

[wolram]

I give up, i can not find any site that gives energy values.

 

[brewnog]

Linseed oil, 1880 kilojoules of energy per 100g.

Do I win?

 

[Mk]

Yes that is exactly right. You could have used google or wikipedia to find it.

[Mk]

Brewnog wins! Post a question.

 

[brewnog]

Woop!

I must confess, I'm not a human nutritional information bank, it was from Wiki in the end. But I did know it was Linseed, partly thanks to Wooly ruling out flax itself.

I'll have a quick think and be back with something tip top.

On second thoughts, Wooly can have a go since he sparked my train of thought for the last one (and I can't think of anything good at the moment).

 

[wolram]

Thanks Brewy, try this, hope you like it MK.

Add an Egyptian god to tubular bells to get a fire breathing monster, found in 1553.

 

[Mk]

Chimeria. .

 

[wolram]

Chimeria. .

Your supposed to at least scratch your head for while

 

[Mk]

lol. I figured the Egyptian god and tubular bells were too vague to use, so I looked for dragons and 1553.

 

[wolram]

A fill in clue.

Type 39 was fitted with a full range of computer banks, which at the time were not fully miniaturised due to cost-saving measures. The isomorphic control mode did not work, and the control console was not fully developed.

What machine developed from this?

 

[jimmy p]

Is it some kind of motor vehicle?

 

[wolram]

Is it some kind of motor vehicle?

Hmmmm, well not in a conventional sence, but very loosely.

 

[jimmy p]

Is it some kind of missile or torpedo... or a radio controlled unmanned vehicle?

 

[wolram]

Is it some kind of missile or torpedo... or a radio controlled unmanned vehicle?

None of the above, no wheels or jet engines.

 

[jimmy p]

? Is it real? It has to be. Why would someone go into so much detail over sci-fi. BLAST!

One from me: What was the date that the anthropomorphsim article in Wikipedia was started, and who did it?

28th oct 2001 ?

 

[Mk]

Yes. And some guy that started it's name was Lilith.

Will you go again MK, i am all out off ideas for the moment.

 

[brewnog]

I'll take my go now, should fill in some time.

At over 330 metres tall, this structure covers around 10,000 square kilometres. What is it?
