Interesting about the :coconut: coconut water. It was published in The American Journal of Emergency Medicine Vol18, Iss1, Jan 2000, Pg108-111 “We report the successful use of coconut water as a short-term intravenous hydration fluid for a Solomon Island patient, a laboratory analysis of the local coconuts, and a review of previously documented intravenous coconut use.” :coconut:

Thanks! I did think Dora may have been Lost City of Gold, but thought i may have been confusing it with a cartoon from the 80`s! I knew the Elf brothers had Tom Holland and Chris Pratt doing voices, but couldn’t summon up the title! @Peitho, thanks for the giggle! :slight_smile:

The Great Hump Day Quiz! 🐪

Welcome to this Wednesday’s Great Hump Day Quiz! All newcomers are most welcome :slightly_smiling_face: Check out the rules, pop your answers in a post, and I’ll add you to the Scoreboard. :+1:

Where do the questions come from?

I found a mysterious old box of trivial pursuit, with even more trivial pursuits stuffed inside. It is a treasure trove of quiz questions, and all of them really old. :slightly_smiling_face: Perfect fodder for a Hump Day special. :+1:

Piecing together a few bits and bobs, there were three sets, and a couple of the instructions. One is a Genus Edition, dated 2001, and the other the 20th Anniversary one, 2004. There’s also another old style board and questions in there that looks/smells quite a bit older. That’s the box they’re all stuffed in, and that has ©1983 printed on it. No instructions, so not sure if that’s accurate. That one says it’s a Master Game Genus Edition.

So, there you go. It’s a bit random, but it should add to the fun. :slightly_smiling_face:
