Now for something a bit more light-hearted, yet intellectual. Just to move away from the politic/religious posts.

Rules:
I'll ask a trivia question. First person to answer correctly then posts the next question.
That's it.


So my trivia question:
What year did Thomas Edison makes the first recording and what was it's title?

He did "Mary had a little Lamb". Don't know what year though

I thought that was Snoop Dog..

No, land mammal.

oops....

whale?

You copies my answer you bastard!

*starts beating you with a bat again*

nostrils or nasal cavity? i guess elephant
Close but no cigar as elephants have very big brains - big enough to be bigger than their nasal cavities by volume.

You copies my answer you bastard!

*starts beating you with a bat again*
A bat! Lead! Very small rocks! A church!

No, land mammal.


Whales can be land mammals...when they;re beached anyways. ^^;

Lol

a hippopotomus
Another close guess, but no!

rhino!

rhino!
Hurrah! You win........er............yes! A pair of Rhino's legs!

Which large mammal has a brain smaller than it's nostrils?

Bill Cosby

Hurrah! You win........er............yes! A pair of Rhino's legs!

Did he actually get it right?

Bill Cosby

I still think this guy is right..

Hurrah! You win........er............yes! A pair of Rhino's legs!
Huzah!

Next trivia:
Where in our solar systems (other than on earth) are there golfballs? And how many?

Did he actually get it right?
Yes, A rhino has a brain the size of a fist.

Huzah!

Next trivia:

The moon? Didn't astronaughts play golf on the moon?

Yes, A rhino has a brain the size of a fist.

That means if I punched a rhino in the nose, my fist might get stuck. :eek:

You ppl haven't even answered my question yet!
sheesh the trouble I go to finding a useless bit of trivia and all I get back is Bill Cosby and nasal cavities.
<goes off to sulk>
<comes back indignant>
For the record Legless Pirates is right about the name "Mary had a little Lamb", but still waiting for the year. Give you a clue - it wasn't this millineum.

1877

The moon? Didn't astronaughts play golf on the moon?
that was a quicky, but an easy one.

Yes! 3 golfballs are still on the moon when astronauts decided to play a round of golf on it

Alan Shepard hit two golf balls whilst on the lunar surface during Apollo 14.

That means if I punched a rhino in the nose, my fist might get stuck. :eek:
I think that'd be the last thing you'd worrying about after punching a Rhino.

Actually, it brings a vivid picture up of you being dragged and swung around by a sinus-impaired and very irate Rhino.
"Oh God! My hand is stuck! IT WON'T COME OUT! For the love of all that is Holy, someone please help me!"

I'd pay to see that.

Ewwww....think about how snotty your hand would look and feel afterwards. Rhino snot. Ewwww....

Couldn't find how many :D

OK, Which animal has the widest range of vision (that is can see the most colours/wavelengths)?

You know what they say, "Rhino snot is thicker than water."

Hey! No googling!

erm.... the dog?

err chameleon? Cat?

Probably wouldn't have time to find that out if the rhino was still attached to it.

I bet Superman could..


Oooh is it Superman?!

Hey! No googling!

erm.... the dog?
Not googling, I am a treasure trove of useless trivia :)

Not the dog, or cat or chameleon.

Barking up the wrong trees. Its an animal that has no use for such mega vision.

Oooh is it Superman?!
And the invisible man

Bat? Worm? Snake? Mongoose?

And the invisible man
Nah, he'd see bugger all.

Fly?

And the invisible man

no... he'd still get mauled...it'd have to be the Invincible man.

Bat? Worm? Snake? Mongoose?
Nope.

Its an animal that wouldn't remember what it saw for very long.

Fly?
Nice guess :) but no :(

Goldfish! :D

Goldfish! :D
Yay!!!!!!!!!!!
All the colours we see plus infrared plus ultraviolet!

angler fish
mole
that fish with the lateral pupils that has nomal vision in a circular area of the retina and infra red/ultrea violet at the sides
you

EDIT: Dammit. Wrong again

Yay i rule!

What's the next question?

What's the next question?
Dunno, you won so you're up.

I got one!

Which metal has the lowest melting point apart from Mercury (I may be wrong when I answer this, but what the hell!)

Magnesium? Isn't that a metal?

Magnesium? Isn't that a metal?
Yes, but it's not the right one. Think 'utterly random never really heard of it in any particular use'

EDIT: Dammit, I killed another thread. That's 4 now

Still here, just stumped

I got one!

Which metal has the lowest melting point apart from Mercury (I may be wrong when I answer this, but what the hell!)
Lead? (around 150 degrees Centigrade iirc)

Lead? (around 150 degrees Centigrade iirc)
Don't think so as mercury is liquid at room temperature while lead is still solid

Are we talking a naturally occuring metal or a lab produced one?

U suk teh big 1s

Don't think so as mercury is liquid at room temperature while lead is still solid
ToL stated asked:

Which metal has the lowest melting point apart from Mercury (I may be wrong when I answer this, but what the hell!)

I hope that clears it up for you

Doh!

Tin?

Doh!

Tin?
Well it looks like Tribes.... has gone off line, I'll google what it is.

We seem to be both wrong.

I won't say though, it would be cheating.

::Edit:: After a bit more googling it seems Tin is correct. Apologies.

I can't find any more but then some of them might be metals and I don't know:

Gallium melts at only 30 degrees Celcius.

They always say it can melt in your hand. Not quite as fun as Rubidium which melts as 40 degrees C, but also explodes when in contact with water. http://www.webelements.com/webelements/elements/text/Rb/key.html
Other similar one are Caesium and... well Mercury.

P.S.: to change Kelvin temperatures into Celcius, just minus 273.15 degrees. Otherwise it's the same scale.

I'd think the answer would be barium, as barium is liquid at room temperature as well as mercury.

You need more chemistry. Barium is not liquid at room temp. M.P. is like 700 degrees or something. Intelligent Madness got it right above with gallium. It melts into a greasy puddle in your hand.

EDIT: Conceptualists - tin melts at 271 (or close by)

My turn to ask a question then!! Yay. Hmmm...

Who holds the record for having scored the most goals in just one FIFA World Cup (excluding preliminary matches)?

Bonus question: Who holds the record for having scored the most goals in total in FIFA World Cups (once again only counting "the finals")?
