congrats River D! (i have been told you havent been seen running down the street cheering, yet..)
LED, your Shrek comment on the three blind mice does ring a bell. However, am not so sure they are fine. River D send me a link to the rhyme yesterday. Apparently the rhyme is based on a true story of how queen Mary had some people burnt at the stake...
Thought it might be an interesting note, considering this is a murder game.

And the Ring around the Rosie is based on the black plague. Interesting things we chose to sing to children about.

1. 12. The fact that for many years it has 12 members was coincidence. At the start there were even 15 members. I think the reason why it did not became 14 or 15 had to do with the issue around Saarland. 13 is unlucky. 12 was a good number for various reasons.
2. Moa! Haast Eagle (ate Moas).
3. Looong time ago. Wild guess Greyling
4. Monty Python and the Holy grail
5. April 30th. Though some of us already start after work on the 29th. :)
6. Mr. Red.
7. Violent Femmes - Blister in the Sun
8. Same as 4.
9. Tiguccigalpa?
10. Google says pensylvania :)
