Titan Arum Posted February 1, 2015 Report Share Posted February 1, 2015 (edited) Apparently I know more confederate generals than US...I wonder if that's because I grew up in the town where the first major battle of the war happened?

Titan Arum Posted February 4, 2015 Report Share Posted February 4, 2015 Alright then. I guess 15 was a bit ambitious. I probably should've said 10. I could easily come up with 10 so I assumed others could do 15. Here are some answers: 1) JordanCon 2) Dan Diego Comic Con 3) WonderCon 4) NY Comic Con 5) Anime Expo 6) DragonCon 7) A-kon 8) Baltimore Comic Con 9) SLC Comic Con 10) Fan Expo Canada 11) BronyCon 12) AggieCon 13) London Super Comic Convention 14) Emerald City Comic-Con 15) Phoenix Comicon And now, a new question: WLIU, name 2 mammals that lay eggs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kobold King Posted February 4, 2015 Report Share Posted February 4, 2015 And now, a new question: WLIU, name 2 mammals that lay eggs. Short-beaked Echidna Long-beaked Echidna Also, the platypus.

I originally was going to say 3, but wasn't sure if people knew there were multiple (4 actually) species of Echidna! I thought for a while there that I killed this thread. I'm glad all it took was an easy question for people to answer to get it going again. Edited February 4, 2015 by Titan Arum 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: New question, since this previous one may be too niche. WLIU, name 5 empires, dynasties, or civilizations at their height pre-1800. (Example, post-1800: The English Empire, which was at it's height in the early 1900s.) Edited February 4, 2015 by Titan Arum 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lindel Posted February 4, 2015 Report Share Posted February 4, 2015 Storm it, I could've gotten that one. Eilemelie didn't even mention any of the Mesopotamian civilizations... Ah well. Metal bands? I could probably name one... maybe. Although it'd probably count as "hard rock" or somesuch. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Titan Arum Posted February 5, 2015 Report Share Posted February 5, 2015 (edited) 1) Slayer 2) Metallica 3) Anthrax 4) Black Sabbath 5) Gwar That was a relatively easy one! Ok, WLIU: name the 5 cities that hosted the last five SUMMER Olympics.

You shouldn't have redone the question! More people should read that book! 1. Botany 2. Mechanical Engineering You get an upvote just for having read it too.

Mechanical Engineering You get an upvote just for having read it too. Though I can't do your current question... Good job! I'm glad someone else read The Martian, because I thought it was amazing, well-researched, and well-written. Another book I also really, really enjoyed and want everyone to read as well is Wool Omnibus by Hugh Howey. If you haven't read it yet, and you like dystopian SF, give it a whirl. I am beginning to feel like most of my questions are too difficult, but it can't hurt to attempt to answer them. If people fail, the penalty is a funny picture. When I see them hang around for over a day, that's when I change my questions. Which may happen again with the current question! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lindel Posted February 5, 2015 Report Share Posted February 5, 2015 You're still missing a couple Miyazakis. My original question was going to be only fifteen, so I might give it to you if you get a couple more. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My original question was going to be only fifteen, so I might give it to you if you get a couple more. We're also missing a few Takahata films. Like the most depressing Grave of the Fireflies and Pom Poko. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lindel Posted February 5, 2015 Report Share Posted February 5, 2015 True, but I figured at the very least you guys could get all the Miyazakis. I dunno, maybe I'm just partial to Miyazaki, but his films have always been the most classic of Studio Ghibli to me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curiosity Posted February 6, 2015 Report Share Posted February 6, 2015 4. Hoid (Forward, at least) Hmmm... I can time travel. Just forward, at least. So can Marasi. And so can Wayne. But if we were having a time race, Marasi would beat Wayne badly. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lindel Posted February 6, 2015 Report Share Posted February 6, 2015 (edited) But Hoid would beat them all. I guess you're right, though. If we aren't counting Pulsers as time travelers, we probably shouldn't count Hoid either. EDIT: By the way, if anyone can get fifteen Studio Ghibli films, I'll count that.
