*Gats raises hand* In the event that anyone needs a day off or whatever I am available to fill in for the month here or there. I haven't dreamt up a Round for a while and my palms are a bit itchy. Perhaps I am morphing into a werewolf? Anyway, just offerin'...

Gats, you're welcome to share Tuesdays with Jane if you'd like.

More than welcome!

Due to time constraints I will find it tough fitting in T/Rnds for a while - is there anyone who would like to step in for a while?

Round 2

Please bear with me as this is my first attempt at hosting. I have the unenviable task of temporarily taking over from the brilliant work done by Ren. These are tough footsteps to follow but I will do my best.

We will have a New Zealand round.

1) Please give me the name of a National Park located in the South Island.
2) Please give me the name of a novel written by Janet Frame.
3) New Zealand played 15 matches and scored 44 goals to qualify for the 1982 World Cup Soccer finals in Spain. Please give me the name of a player who scored at least 1 goal.
4) Please give me the name of a movie directed by Peter Jackson (no tv movies or documentaries).
5) Please give me the name of one of New Zealand's ten highest mountains.

If you have any difficulties, please let me know and I will point you in the right direction.

I will close my round tomorrow morning (my time). This means people have about 12 hours from now to get an entry in.

ROUND 1 closed. Answers and scores up soon

ROUND 2 answers

I had a bit of trouble working out whether to allow two answers - I hope I resolved the problems correctly.

1) Name a member of the orchestra aboard the "Titanic"

Worth 10 points
John Law Hume, Roger Bricoux

Worth 5 points
Georges Krins (3), John Frederick Preston Clarke (2)

2) Name an actor who played one of the jurors in the 1957 movie "Twelve Angry Men"

Worth 10 points
Henry Fonda, Jack Klugman, Jack Warden

Worth 5 points
Ed Begley (2), Lee J Cobb (2)

3) Name a thing (i.e. asteroid, species of animal etc) that was named after the musician Frank Zappa

Worth 10 points
Goby Fish (Zappa confluentus), Asteroid 16745 Zappa, ZapA (gene), Zappanale (a festival)

Worth 5 points
Spider (Pachygnatha zappa) (3)

Not mentioned - a jellyfish and a second asteroid (Zappafrank)

4) Name one the the 10 Largest Indian Tribes according the US Census of 2000

Worth 10 points
Blackfeet, Apache, Sioux, Choctaw, Lumbee

Worth 5 points
Chippewa (2)

Most sites didn't have Lumbee as one of the 10 largest tribes. However I gather the difference is in the way the information was interpreted in regards to people who are of more than one tribe. Because of this I allowed Lumbee.

David Attenborough's series "Life in the Undergrowth" has recently aired on the BBC and is currently airing in Australia. Give my the title of one of the episodes.

Worth 10 points
"Fly on the Wall"

Worth 5 points
"Taking to the Air" (3), "The Silk Spinners" (3)

"Fly on the Wall" explained how the series was made and techniques used. As it was aired directly after the rest of the episodes and is included on the DVD I decided to allow it as one of the episodes.

ROUND 3 - Friday, March 3rd

Another Miscellaneous Round

Self explanatory and not in the least bit imaginative, but hey, at least it's on time...


1. Tell me something you might associate with a "nerd".

2. Tell me an inappropriate time or place that you have accidentally yawned.

3. Tell me something one might do to their fingernails.

4. Tell me something you have found between the cushions of a sofa/couch.

5. Tell me something you have done even after being told not to by a loved one or peer.


I'm gonna stop saying I'll get the results up by a certain date... perhaps that way I actually will get the results up sooner rather than later. Anyway, I'll be around if you've got any questions. Good luck and have fun.

Round 4

1. On March 4, 1933, FDR was inaugurated as President of the United States. Tell me anything you think of when you think of FDR.

5. On March 4, 1678, composer Antonio Vivaldi was born. Name any of his works.

This will close the middle of next week!

I will leave round 2 open for another 24 hours if there are any latecomers. Remember, I can supply a link to question 3 if it is proving troublesome.

I'm filling in for Santana and I think it's her turn. If not, we'll find out soon enough...

Round 6

I felt a little like a werewolf last week (don't ask ) so the theme of this Round is wolves.

1. Edward Albee's most well-known play is Who's Afraid Of Virginia Woolf?. Name another play written by Mr. Albee.
2. Wolf Blitzer is a television journalist, and an opinionated one at that. Name a TV news series that he anchored, co-anchored or just appeared in regularly (I found 4; there might be more).
3.The late blues singer Chester Arthur Burnett was better known as Howlin' Wolf. Pick a track from his album "Howlin' Wolf Rides Again".
4. Scott Wolf, now the star of Lost, used to play the eldest brother on TV's Party Of Five. Name one of the Salinger siblings on that series [and Wolf's character is acceptable to choose].
5. Pick an actor who played supersleuth Nero Wolfe on TV or in the movies.
BONUS: (for 5 extra points) Famous Disc Jockey Wolfman Jack, in his real life, had two children. What were their names?

This'll stay open until Thursday or so. Any questions arise I'll be happy to assist.

Round 2 is closed. Hopefully the results will be up in a few hours.
