Alaska is north, Hawaii is west, and south...and Maine is east

Actually Alaska is westernmost as well. In fact, part of the Aleutian Islands are past the 180th parallel also making it technically the easternmost.

Name the five members of Pink Floyd.

+1 Draugnar, Emerson just got face palmed

Simple Google search. No need to plus me. And I only checked cause I knew Hawaii wasn't technically as far west as the Aleutians. On a flat map, the distorition makes it look that way untill you look at the parallels.

You mean the original members? Waters, Gilmore, Mason, Wright, and Barrett are the mostly known 5, but Gilmore replaced Barrett. There was also another guy, but I don't remember his name.

What did Mike Nesmith's, of The Monkeys, mother invent?

Yes Draugnar,

It's Alaska, Alaska, Alaska and Hawaii

Mike Nesmith's mother invented liquid paper.

Excluding humans, which mammal kills the most people in Africa every year?

Its got to be one of elephant, lion and buffalo. Since elephant is split into two distinct species and lion is too obvious, I'm going for buffalo.

How long ago did the mutation for blond hair in humans occur?

Whilst the science behind carbon dating and such like associated with acurately dating such things as mutations of hair colour I've narrowed it down to between 2nd May 43569 BCE and 27th Feb 41756 BCE - I'd need a bit longer to be more accurate.

Complete this sequence .....R Y G B B P

Don't forget the Hippo. I know it is right up there if it isn't at the top.

Oh - Mike Nesmiths mum invented Tipax.
I'd say rats kill more people in africa than either buffalos, lions or tigers, although indirectly.

RYGBBPB - Red, Yellow, Green, Brown, Blue, Pink and Black. The sequence of the last 7 balls potted in a game of snooker.

What were the last words of physicist Richard Feynman?

It was something like 'Dying is so boring, I'd hate to do it twice'. He had two forms of cancer. Witty guy.

What is the biggest Island in the world?

Greenland.
Who was last Etruscan King of Rome?

australia =]

Which is the lowest whole number, when spelt out, is in correct alphabetical order?

Australia is a continent. If continents count as Islands then Eurasia-Africa is the largest island.

I was taught that Eurasia-Africa didn't count because it was multiple continental shelves. I also don't think Australia counts because it's a continent and therefore not an Island.

While writing the question I was under the impression Greenland was correct.

LOL, what a train wreck this thread is. With the movie quotes thread, its 'guess the answer, post your own', but when you guess, you are probably pretty sure you are correct. THis one, you can be perfectly wrong and post the next one anyway.

And there are some great quotes in this thread. On a trivia thread, you should see things like 'I was under the impression x was correct', 'It was something like', 'There was also another guy, but I don't remember his name. ', 'Its got to be one of elephant, lion and buffalo', 'The sequence of the last 7 balls potted in a game of snooker. ' [snooker, seriously? a game some backwards European 3rd rate nation plays? :)

'shouldn't see' that is

Four.

@ spyman - Tarquinius Superbus?

@DbJ - what you mean is you're pissed 'cos you didn't get the answer to the RYGBBP sequence yourself. Don't feel so bad, I didn't get it either; my wife did(!) and she doesn't even like snooker.

Can I point out that snooker is dominated by British & Chinese competitors.
Now, even after the recession I would find it hard to call the UK a 3rd rate European nation, and china is neither 3rd rate nor European :P
Anyway, moving on:
What is the approximate weight of a rich tea biscuit?

Need more info to calculate approx weight of rich tea biscuit, are we talking prior or post dunking?

Which Capital City is the anagram of a former Capital city?

Approx weight of a tea biscuit? Too many stinkin' Brits on this website.

Pre. To the nearest gram.

and that's a great question

@Maniac: Tokyo (Kyoto)

Ah nice, never knew Kyoto used to be the capital. Whats your question then?

I figured we would just go off of the 100 unanswered questions. Anyways here is another: Who was the first person to invent the light bulb?

Edison.
Who won the Wing Bowl?

Actually Joseph Swan first invented the light bulb. Edison just improved it and made it practical. As for the Wing Bowl, I have no idea.

(I don't know who won the Wing Bowl either, but if people are going to ask about tea biscuits and snooker, I figure we should have some American trivia too.)

haha, very true.

I asked the Rich Tea one because I thought it was something slightly different and wouldn't just be looked up.

Four is not in alphabetical order. R is before U. Having said that, I can't think of what whole number when spelled out is in alphabetical order. Hope The Conqueror comes back to tell us.

forty

During the American Revolutionary War, England offered amnesty to all colonists if they laid down their arms. England only demanded two men be tried in England for revolting, even if the colonists surrendered. Who were they?

Ah, there it is.

or maybe John Adams.

no clue actually

but since i got conquerors right i get to post one.

Who is the only author to have a book in every Dewey decimal category?
