Yeeessss this is the right section.
I'm making a thread for when I get bored, when the Forums are quiet.
I can post questions in here and give points and whatnot.
I know this is a done thing. But don't you think its fun?
I'll have to give credit to BVoO and Pixie, as they have done threads like this before.

Points go as follows:
Trick questions - One point for the right answer. Two points for an answer I find extremely clever (If possible). Minus a point for a stupid answer. First person to post the right answer gets the point.
Trivia- One point for the right answer. One point for an answer I find extremely clever (If possible). Minus a point for a stupid answer. First person to post the right answer gets the point.

Rules;
1. You can only post one answer for each question, unless I tell you otherwise.
2. No flaming, trolling, spamming etc.
3. If you don't like the game or the thread, don't post!

Here is the trick question:
A man is walking outside in the rain. He does not have an umbrella even though it is pouring outside. Nothing is covering his head, yet his hair doesn't get wet. How is this possible?

Here is the trivia question:
What singer for a 70's British rock quartet changed his name from Frederick Bulsara?

I'm starting with easy questions.

So. Care to answer?

Trick:
A man walks into a bar and asks the bartender for a glass of water. The bartender reaches under the bar and brings out a gun and aims it at the man. The man says thank you and leaves. What happened?

I know that one!
The man had the hiccups, asked the bartender to cure them, and the bartender scared the hiccups out of him! A classic one!

Correct!

Trivia:
Name a famous God (both his/her Greek and Roman name) mentioned in one of W.H.Auden's more well known poems. It has to be the names I'm thinking of.

P.S. definately no using wiki and all that! I'll be using questions that are difficult to search for on the webz.

Is there a limited number of guesses we have for one question? I'm thinking about just belting out every Greek and Roman god I can think of xP.

Well you can ask for a hint >.>

And yes. One guess per question. Atleast, until I think no one so far knows it, then I'll say you can guess again

No... cause that would be far too easy :P

Dangit. Thank god for my Latin classes, I know that means love or affection, but...
Is it Cupid in Rome and Eros in Greek? I know they're the respective gods of love(well, Aphrodite is technically the Greek goddess of love,but she's a girl)

Brilliant Moat! I figured someone would relate Amor to love - it's kinda obvious - and then link that to Cupid then Eros!

The line is Of Eros and of dust~ from the poem September 1st, 1989 by W.H.Auden.

(well, Aphrodite is technically the Greek goddess of love,but she's a girl)

(A lil' bit of trivia for you: I have the Venus de Milo in my backgarden! Well.. not THE statue, but a replica)

Trivia:
What is the name of the valve connecting the right atria to the right ventricle in your heart?

Trick:
One snowy night, Sherlock Holmes was in his house sitting by a fire. All of a sudden a snowball came crashing through his window, breaking it. Holmes got up and looked out the window just in time to see three neighborhood kids who were brothers run around a corner. Their names were John Crimson, Mark Crimson and Paul Crimson. The next day Holmes got a note on his door that read â? Crimson. He broke your window.â Which of the three Crimson brothers should Sherlock Holmes question about the incident?

Note: You really only need to be taking biology in school or have a logical mind to get the trivia question. No cheating!

0_0.
I honestly have no idea, but I'm going to give this a wild(and wrong)guess.
Is it the...er...carotid artery? Lol.

And What did the six monsters look like?


http://www.mlahanas.de/Greeks/Mythology/Images/scyllaMilos.jpg

Scylla was orrginally depicted having the uperbody of a women, and 'legs' of six serpentine bodies, with heads of dogs. IT ate passing sailors, and resided near the infamous whirlepool, Charybdis.

I had a little bird,
It's name was Enza,
I opened up the window,


And got the Influenza.

Or atleast the version I have says it. ALong with a pretty nice picture.

Greek mythology is one of my favorite subjects. More Greek mythology! I'm really good at that. =)
Like I know that Scylla goes hand in hand with Charybdis, in the Strait of Messina. Scylla would scoop the sailors right out of their ships; Charybdis would cause a whirlpool or some sort of storm.
See? I'm a Greek mythology nerd xP.

Um well.. that is the huuugggee artery in your neck that connects to your aorta (which is a tube in your heart). Also, I asked what the valve was called, not the artery :P

Nice guess though! At least you guessed the name of a real internal body part :P

Mav, you're a little late. We guessed that already
