I might use one of these to rename my fantasy football team. Where has the bloke gone who set the question?

superconor · 10-08-2003 10:53pm

i think what Seth meant was what was the STRANGEST animal on the Disc, in which case it is indeed the Hermit Elephant, so i think Ravaan should ask the next question. this is in a Guards Book, Men At Arms, on page 120.

(Happenes to be reading it at the moment so it was in my bedroom.)

Ravaan · 11-08-2003 9:29am

As shock didn't ask a question, I'm going to.

What's kangaroo for "somebody's fallen in the waterhole?"

Ravaan · 01-09-2003 9:35am

Perhaps shock didn't post a question because he didn't get the last one right.

AL][EN · 16-09-2003 9:18pm

I think we can pretty much say we give up on that question then what was the answer?? i suppose you get to ask another one then since no one had the answer!

Ravaan · 18-09-2003 9:28am

She was originally posted 3 dollars by the publishers...then Granny 'negotiated' the rest, bringing the total up to three thousand, two hundred and seventy *three* dollars and eighty seven pence. Pedantic to be sure.

OK then. How would you cure HEX of the "Bursar" virus?

What's the waiting list like for a Burleigh & Stronginthearm Crossbow?

Ravaan · 10-10-2003 11:18am

Oops. I looked it up and the answer was "ages" which is a bit too vague I s'pose. Serves me right for posting a question without having me book in front of me.

So here's a replacement. What did Lord Vetinari juggle to impress the folk in Klatch?

Thanx 4 The Fish · 10-10-2003 11:33am

throwing knives and a few melons.

oddlyaromatic · 10-10-2003 3:38pm

... that's good answer, but doesn't cut it in the questioning department, does it?

Thanx 4 The Fish · 10-10-2003 4:00pm

Not quite, it does however cut it in the wait until the questioner comes bac , perhaps asking to be a bit more precise, ie 3 melons and then 4 melons and three throwing knives etc.

How many trainees at the assassins guild actually make it as assassins ?
