OK, not even much point in recounting except to say 8-8.

By the way, "McCain's" in Canada is known as the biggest purveyor of frozen French Fries.

You can thank us for making scoring so easy for you tonight.

We either all get them wrong (well, with the exception of ONE) or we all get them right. We're so helpful.

5) Sheepshank Knot would be a good name for a rock band but it is hard to say 10 times fast.

OK, I'll say #2


For the other q, I'll say #4, rectum. But let the record show that I said rectum with a disgusted look on my face, as I am a proper gentlemen.

I am not above saying Sheepshank, however.

4 - Rectum
This one is my fault, for actually doing research, rather than just using what comes to the top of my head.

All of the properties of the sheepshank knot are true. Depending on the various sites. The nice thing about the Net is that little animations of knot tying look a lot more comprehensible than diagrams do. I could almost become a boy scout again. Not.

The shank is above the foot or hoof. So no hoof found if the soup is well cooked.

Q3 - THE ENIGMATIC CONNECTION

#20 Post by etaoin22 » Fri Feb 08, 2008 10:10 pm

3 - THE ENIGMATIC CONNECTION

B - The word "nimrod" is used slangly mostly as an insult, like "dimwit" or a "doofus"
What does it mean, however, in biblical Hebrew, and maybe in other ancient tongues and legends as well ?

G - What is the principal occupation of the characters in the movie 'Hilary and Jackie" "?

Yeh. Nimrod the hunter.
Didnt realize it was so biblical, I thought "mythical'.

And Jackie du Pré was the great cellist whose career was cut short by multiple sclerosis.

They played her first famous cello concerto recording this AM on CBC radio two.
