Well done @WillC :clap::clap::clap:

Very impressive as I thought they were really hard this week.

Well done clean-sweepers too!

Must improve my Bogong knowledge for a chance at a clean-sweep award… thought it sounded more like a baddie in Dr Who than a moth though :woman_shrugging:t2::rofl:.

Thank you for the quiz @Ian_Chimp !

Answers to Silly Weekend Quizzing 2

  1. Bull testicles and Bonus points for all personal preference answers as no wrong or right answer… I’m not vegetarian so I’d give them a go :woman_shrugging:t2:
  2. An Idiot - according to early 20th century psychology definitions: moron IQ range 51 to 70, imbecile 26 to 50, and idiot 0 to 25… really feel @SexInTheCity should get a bonus for an extra detailed answer :clap::clap:
  3. An embarrassment of Pandas :panda::panda::panda: - seems harsh.
  4. Fred and Wilma Flintstone… extra info, the first human actors were portraying Herman and Lilly Munster which predated my guess of Morecambe and Wise by a few years.
  5. Michael Jackson :scream:
  6. Fireman, he’s Fireman Sam… yes, I looked up his full name because I liked the Patrick Clifton question from my last silly quiz. @Ian_Chimp I think you put both as coroners… :thinking: Do you secretly want to be a coroner or should I just ask about Dr R. Quincy in the next quiz so you get the point?
  7. Winston Churchill
  8. Monday: an anagram of Dynamo. @Ian_Chimp you get the point for Monday even if your anagram is a little questionable :joy:
  9. Monsters Inc. of course
  10. Blue :fly:, :sunflower:(no bluebell emoji), :bird:

Superb answering all of you, Scores:
@WillC 6
@Ian_Chimp 5… though an additional two ½ bonus marks for a “Pop” of Pandas and Johnson & Johnson, “we scare because we care” so 6 because they made me laugh!
@SexInTheCity 8

I thought it was a trick question as you asked it last time. :slightly_smiling_face: (I previously went with ‘baby’).

I’m happy with my extra snigger marks though. That’s always my main motivation. :slightly_smiling_face:

And congratulations @FL45H. :clap:

:woman_facepalming:t2: Doh - I did!

Stupidity and lack of checking on my part …no excuse for getting it wrong then :joy:. Sorry.

Extra snigger marks are definitely the key points :+1:

You can have a banana for them…

Pashooey. Dirty bottle, dirty bell, dirty bird. I bet you’ve used at least 66% of those multiple times in everyday conversation. :slightly_smiling_face:

And it’s not a ‘pop of pandas’, it’s a ‘panda pop’. :slightly_smiling_face: :panda_face::cup_with_straw:

I’ve gone back and scored my own. I’ve increased my snigger score weighting, + callback quotient, and adjusted for duff questions. By my reckoning I got 265.78

And I’m keeping the banana.
