One of these things is not like the others – Redux

As my trivia challenge from last week seems to have stunned everyone into silence, the time is probably right to provide the answers…

* During the cold war, the United States deployed nuclear-warhead tipped bazookas.

TRUE! It was called the Davy Crockett, and was one of many insane weapon systems designed to defend the Fulda Gap.

* While Governor of California, Ronald Reagan launched a dressmaker’s dummy into orbit.

FALSE! This was however a plot line from the short lived Brother Power the Geek.

* Pope John Paul II was a member of the Harlem Globetrotters.

TRUE! The Globetrotters hand out honorary memberships to all kinds of people, including the late Pontiff.

* Alfred Hitchcock had no navel.

TRUE! Hitchcock was, of course, born with one, but by the time of his death he’d had so much abdominal surgery that it had completely gone missing.

That’s it! Go make your own entertainment!

One of these things is not like the others

Can you pick which one of the following wacky facts is not true?

* During the cold war, the United States deployed nuclear-warhead tipped bazookas.
* While Governor of California, Ronald Reagan launched a dressmaker’s dummy into orbit.
* Pope John Paul II was a member of the Harlem Globetrotters.
* Alfred Hitchcock had no navel.

I’ll reveal the truth…. later on…

A Challenge!

You think you’re good eh?

A shiny new donkey for whoever can identify the following!

You know, I’ve just been feeling like crap lately. Dunno why, but I just can’t be arsed about anything. The world feels like a dead chunk of rock, pointlessly going round and round the sun. And, I mean, look at the sky – that big blue dome with the sun, and moon and stars and stuff? It might as well be a big cloud of toxic gas as far as I care.

And people – have you ever thought about how amazing a person is? How amazing it is that we exist? That we can think? We’re so adaptable -a human being can do just about anything, and if we can’t do it, we can imagine it. We’re the most amazing species the world has ever come up with, the most advanced animal on the planet – but I just can’t give a shit.

Your time starts now!
