Since no one's asked anything:

These living weapons were used from 1941-1942 (WWII) against German tanks, and were also used (unsuccessfully) by Iraqi insurgents in 2005. What are they?

Hint: If you've seen Akira Kurosawa's Dreams, one is heavily featured in one of the segments.

11. I gather you as the sort to have an extra pinky.

Whiskey 02-06-2013 11:22 PM

You still didnt answer correctly to my question guys.

P A N 02-06-2013 11:27 PM

your question is unanswerable as a general knowledge sorta question... i think you should ask a different one that people can answer without asking you letter by letter. :)

I answered both the new Niue question and what's you're name question. Hey at least since you brought up the question you should answer yes or no to that question. So is it Nathan?

ThePhanastasio 02-06-2013 11:47 PM

I was just going to say the same thing. Play the game guys! You can't ask stupid questions that no-one will know the answer to but you. It's GENERAL knowledge, not specific knowledge.

From now on, banned subjects: questions about personal information, questions about obscure topics few if anyone will know, stupid questions like "what did I have for breakfast?" and so on. Use your head, it's not too hard. Anyone posing those sort of unanswerable questions will be ignored and their question passed over.

That IS the rule, but to be fair (as not everyone spends their life here like me) if you've answered a question correctly and not been able to pose one, you can do so when you come back. I'd prefer not to have two streams of questions, as it were, going at once but we'll work it out. So ask your question now if you want.

Trollheart 02-07-2013 03:07 PM

One more point: you can't just keep asking questions as you like. It's person A asks question, person B gets answer, person B asks question NOT person A asks question, person B gets answer, person A asks another question.

Take your turn and give others theirs.
Let's keep this friendly.

And questions about specific locations of countries fall under the category of "specific knowledge" and are not acceptable.
Come on guys! There's a whole world of questions out there waiting to be asked: you don't have to resort to brain-numbing difficulty levels, whether just to show you're clever or to stump people. The idea is not to be the cleverest, but to keep the game going. If it stalls and no-one gets an answer then the poser of that question (with apologies to the Batlord: I know he hates posers!) :D needs to give the answer within, say, 24 hours of its original asking.

Sound fair?

So now, have we two questions left? There's one about Batman and one about a novel?

The Shining, The Mist, Misery? I know the first two are right but not sure about Misery.

Who was the heaviest president ever in office?

Trollheart 02-09-2013 01:30 PM

Not a big SK fan. Was thinking "Stand by me" and "The green mile" --- wasn't "The shining" a full novel?

Yes...The Shining was a novel. The only SK book I read and I couldn't put it down it was so good. Both the book and the movie are classics.
