1. They invented spray deodorant because they have so many armpits.  Rog, When I clicked on 12, I got a popup porno ad and a warning about it on my iMac.

Lady K, SQF, Remi, Jimbo - great answers!  Lady K - odd. I use postimages.org and have done so for a long time (at least as long as Pub Quiz night has been going)> I checked the url with Norton Safe Web and it came up as "safe". Do you get the same problem with previous Pub Quiz Night pictures? Marian, Sue - thanks for the input. What does everybody else get? Also, does anybody else use postimaages.org? If not, what would you recommend?

12. I'll go with the Grand Palace in Thailand, most likely in Bangkok  I've used postimages for years and the only problem is an occasional shutdown of the site.
If you spell the words "absolutely nothing" backwards, you get "Gnihton yletulosba", which ironically means absolutely nothing.
