Here are some questions I found amusing which I guess could be used for a pub quiz. Let's see who can get them without using google. Pete

1. Absolutely zero clue....... Dog Radar!!!
2. I remember seeing a Nat Geo episode with certain crocs surviving a year between huge feeds. I'd go for insect or spider maybe.
3. Was going to say apes, but of course that's something like 98% (?). Therefore going for something daft like cows or sea cucumber!
4. Is it birds? Always remember a report in the Chinese press as to why the US system for scaring off birds at Beijing Airport didn't work...... the domestic birds didn't understand the language!!
5. Some evil b*tch!! Certainly well equipped to be a c**k teaser!!
6. Quite a bit I guess, 10m (30ft 'ish)?
7. Well, I've seen a squid move ridiculously fast, so I'll go with that.
8. Stupidly enough, this is one I'm pretty sure of as I've heard it before - a giraffe.

Suffice to say, I wouldn't do too well at one of JW's (or indeed Pete's) quizes.... Perhaps on the next visit to HH I'll simply indulge in a few beers at JW's and watch the experts (provided of course there is a quiz on)!!

7. Marlin?

Perhaps not a bad idea in this land to take a print of your beloved pet's nose if you don't have an ID chip implanted in them. In case someone swipes them and then swears to the MIB that the dog belongs to them, you've got the proof that it doesn't. Pete
