See if there is interest for this.

1. Each day I will post 10 questions, at random times of the day.
2. Each Quiz runs exactly 24 hours.
3. The first person that has all 10 questions right, wins. Or if no one has all questions right, the best one wins.
4. You can only post answers ONCE for the same quiz.
5. No cash involved. Just glory. :)

I didn't notice the bonus, I obviously need a stronger pair of glasses.

*LOL* - nope it's not - think you overlooked all of Squirrel's winks and coughs just as I did :D

If you are still tempted to hit yourself with something hard, let's do it together.

Jun-21-2006 02:52

HAHAHHAHAHA - I sure hope that you mean for us to hit ourselves and not that we should both hit me :D

Of course! It occured to me (belatedly) that it could be understood that way. Somebody said that language is a perfect medium for missunderstanding, and my previous lame sentence proves it.

Well, you had me laughing so hard tears nearly started running down my cheeks - I knew what you meant, but I so enjoyed the double meaning. It may be that "language is a perfect medium for missunderstanding", but with all its facets, twists and turns, it's also an excellent medium for humour - even though it's not always easy to denote when one can't see the other's face, and that what one finds enjoyable may of course vary quite a bit, but that said, personally, I do love words with multiple meanings :)

Rhie wins :)
