No, that was the first Gulf War where Saddam - Lord rest his soul- tried to put his little green house on Kuwait.

If the topic was "Stone Age technology" would you accept "Woolly Mammoth Vacuum Cleaners" because Wilma Flintstone had one?

Yes i would allow that, it exists, better than his "equal number of players" for the letter E on "things at a match" :mad:

No need to tell hubby that they aren't lemurs and don't fly

Close enough :cool:

He's reading this thread so that won't fly with him.....

But then you might have to accept a lot of animals. Dumbo means elephants can fly. Surely dogs and cats have flown in other movies. Its madness. Crazy. I say nay.

i'd accept Dumbo for D i have before and he's taken it!!!

Not bad, but you've had eleven hours to think about it, hope I never have to stand behind you in a queue at 'Burger King'.

standard way to resolve such as dispute is to tip over the board and storm out, no sex that night, make up in the morning, burn game.

Here's a monkey that nearly flew
http://www.thejournal.ie/man-monkey-pants-airport-india-590765-Sep2012/

But thanks to the Daily Mail we have a winner - Bili the bonobo

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1126657/Baby-monkey-given-seat-plane-human-passengers-flies-Germany-meet-new-mother.html

Bili the bonobo chimp left fellow travellers bemused as he settled down in his own seat with a one-way ticket to a new life at a German zoo.

The three-month-old ape had his own animal export documents for the Lufthansa flight from Birmingham to Frankfurt but was given a special pretend passport complete with his name and picture.

apes aren't monkeys but what do you expect from the Daily Mail

Neither is pigs.

Unless they are pigs or monkeys of the flying variety.
Can you prove that flying pigs and monkeys DONT exist?
Youre so closed minded.

Decide if you can put fictional characters/things/places in first before you begin playing....

If yes, then it is allowed...
If not, then it is not allowed....

If it had been another fictional character would it have been allowed. And flying monkeys were on Graham Norton last week - so yes should be allowed.

We did/do allow fictional characters he used them previously

I want to play again tonight so lets see if he'll go for it....he'll probably run screaming and go build his lego X-wing....

Last question - do the flying monkeys in Oz actually fly? Do they have wings or do they fly magically or something.....

Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.

But...wings, dude

How do they work ?

If you look at any classical representations of Winged Monkeys they look like they have a very high wing loading, probably higher than the 196Kg per m2 of a Messerschmitt Bf109

In the Wizard of Oz (1939) they had a very low beat rate and rate of travel was well below the accepted stalling speed of the aforementioned interceptor. And as for them being able to manage a sustained output of 344 W/kg they'd be sweating buckets. It works out at something 295 calories per hour per kg and that's if they aren't on an abduction mission.

So remind me again how their little wings work

and don't get me started on their lack of muscles in the appropriate areas

A very old model couldn't explain them.

Vortex lift is what keeps them in the air,

that and beating their little wings a brazillian times a second

because with that timer in your ear ticking away, and the pressure of coming up with a word on the spot flying monkeys was my logical answer to things that fly starting with M.

Yeah and while the war ended long ago, the damn game still goes on. Fricken thing takes an age to finish.

@ OP, what about the monkeys in the space rockets, do they count as flying monkeys even if they weren't self propelled?

Now can I just say that after taking lots of illegal (and legal)substances over a long period of time, I can confirm that flying monkeys is a good answer, because over my trials of 'Stuff' I have Indeed experienced flying monkeys on several occasions whilst in the midst of said illegal substances.

The Russians used stray dogs because they reckoned they'd be easier to train and better able to handle the stress.

And let's face it , if ET was up there the last thing you want in a first contact scenario is Bonzo flinging his poo at them.
