    *pulls "Guards! Guards!" from her bag...*

    Well the only reference I've found so far just refers to them being oiled, I can't find anywhere that says what they actually are, they're just one of the things the Elucidated Brethren had, like the Trousers of Sanctity or the Thuribles of Destiny.

    Aha, I was tricked!!!!!!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,446 ✭✭✭Havelock


    I should have asked what were the insruments of the Elucidated Brethren. WizZard was right.

    Whoops, I thought the other instuments made up the Axle.

    /me hurries WizZard up with the suggestion of a visit to the scropion pit if he doesn't post a question soon.

    *the chance to post a question of your own, aren't you lucky!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 45 dgarrad


    Ok, a question. Hmmm....

    Why did Nobby Nobbs dress as an old woman while on duty?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 610 ✭✭✭article6


    To walk across the street so slowly that they could give the coach drivers parking fines?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 45 dgarrad


    Yep, and if I remember correctly he continued to wear it after they'd stopped doing that, "just in case"!

    Your turn!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 610 ✭✭✭article6

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 610 ✭✭✭article6


    Both of you close, but no round smoky thingy.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 610 ✭✭✭article6


    Alright, it's been a while since the question was posted. Sarky was closest to the answer (Quite Reverend Mightily-Praiseworthy-Are-Ye-Who-Exalteth-Om Oats). So I suppose it's Sarky's turn.
