Tyke, one of our previous mods, started these longer ago than I care to remember.

Pub quiz night at the Bewildered Gardener - various trivia, some easy-peasy and some that might need Mr Google (after 24 hrs!) smile.

Fill your glasses, open up another packet of pork scratchings, and off we go:

-1. What order of mammals includes monkeys, apes and man?
-2. Which city hosted the 1992 Olympics?
-3. The Elgin marbles, now in the British Museum, were originally taken from which building?
-4. The Crazy Horse Memorial is in which US state?
-5. In the 1930s the American company Bally were foremost in developing which sort of recreation device?
-6. Which UK patron saint does not have his flag as part of the Union Jack...?
-7. ...and to even it up, how many versions of the US flag have there been...?
-8. ... and just so Koala doesn't feel left out, what is the large star on the Australian flag known as?
-9. In 1985, Greg Le Mond was the first non-European to win which annual sporting event?
-10. What are the first names of the pop duo The Carpenters?
-11. Name the musical instrument where the volume and pitch are controlled by moving the player's hands close to two metal antennae
-12. Florence Nightingale achieved her fame during which war?
-13. What religion celebrates Navaratri?
-14. Laverbread is a Welsh delicacy made from what?
-15. Who is the patron saint of travellers?
-16. What does a galvanometer measure?



To waste one second of one's life is a betrayal of one's self.

The moon is actually more useful than the sun since the moon gives us light at night when it's dark. The sun only gives us light during the day when it's already bright out.

Sometimes lost is where you need to be. Just because you don't know your direction doesn't mean you don't have one.
