8 planets; Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune. Pluto is not on the list as it is a Dwarf planet.
That was exactly what i said.
You had 9 smileys.
Jubal is right, well done
But there are...21 planets.
hang on theres 9 you forgot planet X (no jk)
The last one where suposed to be pluto, for the fun of it, i thougt u were smart enough to get that.
There is now a standard definition for a planet, based of size, so there are 8 planets and alot of dwarf planets (to keep Americans who found them happy)
A question, Jubal?
Why did the chicken cross the road?
Its farmer poked it with a stick
why does the random movement of chickens need an answer?
It is inherent in nature for creatures to be curious, at least to some degree, it is most likely a more curious chicken wondered what the big black strip was, walked onto it and then ran across from a car, upon discovering that there was a source of food it decided to stay there, prompting more chickens to cross, but only the more curious one, they remeber this fact and will occasionally cross the road again. Hence why there will always be a small group of chickens on the other side of the road near a free range chicken farm.
wow....
i never new why the chicken crossed the road in that detail
i thought it was just to get to the other side :lol:
did you ever know how to spell knew?
yes i did know but i forgot at that moment any way back to topic who got it right!!??
Nobody yet...
I have a chicken here to consult.
This time i must be rigth
Is it cluck cluck?
Why did the chicken roll in a patch of mud, cross the road, then cross back over?
He was a dirty double-crosser.
do you jsut want this thread dead Jubal?
Fine, It was because I forced him to with a shotgun to his head. I admit it.
Closest was CN2, so he wins.
Jubal we want an answer that someone will actually guess
CN2?
fair point
What symptoms does this guy show? :flashy:
A flashing head, no body, fixed smile.
Edit: No nose.

i guess i should start this thread again

Who wrote the 1812 overture?
Lets bring some culture in here :P

Uncultured swines... :P
SC is on the right track
Jubal you like this sort of thing amiright?
Tchaikovsky. i think. just something ive heard... id laugh if im right!!!!!!!!
i hope i spelt it right too...
I bet you googled that
Tchaikovsky is correct. Your turn, Goldy.
whoooo! no i didnt google it. I am really quite a smart person who happens to pick things up most of the time!
okay then... this is really easy:
Who killed JFK and who killed the person who killed JFK? Need both to get it right and NO CHEATING!! like me!
those facts are widely disputed by various conspiracy theorists, and I doubt you mean Oswald killing him and Jack somethingorotheriforgothislastnamegoddamit
here is a fun fact though, in the video you can see his wife grab the back of his head off the rear of the car. The small holes from action films never happen unless it is far away with a low calibre weapon. The pressure wave caused by the entrance of a bullet carries across the liquid-y brain, ever expanding, till all the force reaches the opposite side, blasting skull and gore outwards with a reasonably high velocity
...yeah, Lee Harvey Oswald and some cop i think.
Sc was mostly right so he can go
Woop
I am gonna try do one that you can't wikipedia/google
What was Napoleons most embarrassing defeat?
Waterloo (going obvious so its probably wrong)
nope, it was an important one but not them most embarrassing one
oh hang on this was on QI wasnt it?
Napoleon personally or all his armies/generals?
Napoleon personally, but I think there where some if not all of his generals involved
Well it wouldn't be Waterloo since he could have won that one without those Prussians. I'll say Leipzig.
No
Wait a mo... It is...
Rabbits.
Duhn duhn da daaaaa

http://www.strategypage.com/cic/docs/cic104b.asp (http://www.strategypage.com/cic/docs/cic104b.asp) for an explanation
Ahhh - I was not aware of this. This is like when the Aussie army lost the Emu War.
OK, another question then... (Thank god for QI)

This should be a hard one. I made it myself :) ..... if you need a hint just ask.
Volcano would be my first guess, nuke my second.

Gods? Heaven?
Fire, yah damn foools
ah.
I has a question.
Why is stormcloud annoying?
Because the intended playful tone does not translate well into text :P
yeeaaahhh... guess so.
I has another question.
Why is getting a partner SO hard, expensive and time-consuming? Attraction to a member of the opposite sex (or the same sex if you swing that way) is THE natural thing for humans to do, so why are there so many problems (For guys at least) to find a partner?
because you have to be goood, look at nature, the strongest, fastest, most impressive etc
I'm screwed then.
now i see why girls are obsessed with Edward Cullen [Twilight]
That guy is a llama.
Quote from: "stormcloud"Fire, yah damn foools

BUAHHAHAHAHAHHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAH
IT FAILS EPICALLY!!
Just *pray* Sash never reads this thread...
I haven't read Twilight. I don't have a huge problem with it, it's just a romance book series. People do over-obsess about it MAJORLY though.
ok, my question I believe
How far can we see into the universe/space?
Quite far.
It depends where certain satellites are and what anomalies and events are happening.
stop being roundabout
I gues it should be phrased, what is the furthest we can see into space
As I said, it's relative. We can see only as far as light allows. Using infra-red cameras, we can see galaxies hundreds of billions of miles away.
no, all light travels at the same speed
and by furthest I mean the most far we can ever see
from earth/ earth orbit satellites
I didn't say anything about the SPEED of light.
The PRESENCE of light.
We could actually see anything in the universe, our view of it is infinite, as the universe itself is estimated at 13 billion years old. This means that the light from stars quadriliions (Yes, it's a word) of miles away can be seen from earth. For example, recently, scientists observed the supernova of a star that went nearly 8 billion years ago, and it's light from that supernova has just reached us.
wrooooong, but if I explain it then it would ruin the answer
I'll give till friday
So far to date, the farthest object seen is Galaxy Abell 1835 IR1916, estimated at 13.2 billion light years away.
This is a picture of the Abell 1835 cluster taken using a near-infrared (Not quite) instrument on the Very Large Telescope.
(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/90/Abell_1835_Hubble.jpg/300px-Abell_1835_Hubble.jpg)
still wrong, don't forget, we can read the COBE, go look at youtube videos on the universes origin, may help
Pretty much the limit is 46 billion light years, this is because space can stretch faster than light speed, and it did for a period of time after the big bang, for more info click below
watch : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MoTNGmlOO2g (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MoTNGmlOO2g)
How were any of us meant to get that?
I expected you to do a bit of looking
eg http://www94.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=radius+of+the+universe (http://www94.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=radius+of+the+universe)
wolframalpha is the win
I doubt any of us would have found that.

What is the probability of rolling four ones on four, six-sided dice?
Ooh! That's a binomial distribution question.
Where X is your number of ones:
X~Bin(4,1/6)
And P(X=4) is 4c4 (=1) times 1/6^4, times 5/6^0 (=1)
So it equals 1/6^4, which is about 0.0007716, or a one in 1296 chance.
Damn it, why is everyone smarter than I am? :P
Jubal's question proves that people who have too much time on their hands, are just completely awesome.
o.o ah remember why i hate maths SOSO MUCH
Everyone is smarter than you because they actually LISTENED to there teachers growing up.
HAHAHAHAHA! Yeah fair enough I suppose, I do have a tendency to fall asleep in Math.
Hell I almost dozed off just reading Jubal's post. :P
The answer to that is no.
Where am I?
You were on a computer.
Why didn't PH09 make a question?
Haha because I wasn't sure if Mark considered my answer correct.
Why does Debux think my name is PhoenixHuard09?
Because he forgot.
What's going to happen at the end of the world?
Mark will realize his craving for a pizza. It will destroy us all.
What gives Mark the idea that Debux simply forgot Guard is spelt with a "G?"
There is a difference of "Ask a stupid question get a stupid answer" and "Answer the question of the person above"
He's right. Please keep this for questions where factual answers, not made up on the spot, can be given.
Alright, I'll go back to the original purpose of this thread.

Cells and plasma TVs... sorry couldn't resist being stupid. :P

Question: Who was the last Byzantine Emperor to use the Roman title IMPERATOR in favour of the greek equilevant BASILEUS? :)
Andreas Palaiologos, nephew of Constantine XI Palaiologos. ;D I had to do a bit of research for this one.
What did Jesus say in Matthew 5 verse 27 in the King James version of the bible? :) I'm betting that any of you would have to do a bit of research on this one too.
The reply is incorrect. The last to use the title IMPERATOR was Flavius Libius Heraclius, son of the Exarch of Africa. Andreas Paleologus had the title ''IMPERATOR CONSTANTINOPOLITANUS'' after the fall of the empire to the Ottomans. He had such a title for he lived in Rome and in Rome he did like the Romans [ie: used latin titles], plus he was no ruling but pretending emperor.
That what research prooved to me:
Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery
which is the fastest mammal on earth? ???
Fastest mammal? Well you'd have to the cheetah, Acinonyx jubatus. And if you're going to pull something like an obscure species of dolphin or extremely fast bat I'll respond with earth meaning dirt, meaning land.

How does baseball work?
Baseball is a bat-and-ball game played between two teams of nine players who take turns batting and baserunning.
The offense attempts to score more runs than its opponents by hitting a ball thrown by the pitcher with a bat and moving counter-clockwise around a series of four bases: first, second, third and home plate. A run is scored when the runner advances around the bases and returns to home plate.
Players on the batting team take turns hitting against the pitcher of the fielding team, which tries to prevent runs by getting hitters out in any of several ways. A player on the batting team can stop at any of the bases and later advance on a teammate's hit or other means. The teams switch between batting and fielding whenever the fielding team records three outs. One turn at bat for both teams, beginning with the visiting team, constitutes an inning, and nine innings a game. The team with the most runs at the end of the game wins.
(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/a1/Baseballpositions.png)
This isn't the stupid question/answer game. :P
So how does cricket work then?
11 players per team, all fielders are played at once. There are 2 batsmen one at each end of a 22 yard strip with wooden posts (wickets). The bowler uses an overarm throw to knock the ball into the post and remove the batsman at that post from play. The batsmen try and hit the ball into the crowd (possibly not their direct aim) doing so without the ball bouncing scores a 6 (6 points, yay) with bouncing/rolling on the ground it's a 4.
If the ball is hit the batsmen have to run at least once across the batting strip (scoring one point for each one way run of the player batting at that time) and in that time can be either caught if trajectory allows or the ball can be picked up and thrown at the post and thus removed from play.
A bowler gets 6 throws then they switch, called an over professional games range from 20 overs to 5 day long test matches. If a games is 20 overs long and nobody goes out, then it'll just be those 2 people batting for the entire team. Test matches, everyone bats.
That's the basics, different bowl and bat styles and when it's beneficial for a teammate to go out, that sort of thing that honestly I'm not too well versed in.
Trivia: If a batsman is taken out on the first ball it's called a duck, if the first batsman coming up to play is taken out first ball, it's a golden duck.
