At last, I have the power!!!
I am setting the questions for next week's pub quiz down my local. As I'm not going to be there to watch the chaos when my stupid questions get read out (I'm off to the Comedy Store to watch King Gong that night), I can pretty much ask anything.
So, anyone got any good ones?
PS I will not look kindly on any questions that manage to get me barred for racism
or obscenity. You know who I'm talking to.
Only one of the world's "seven wonders" still survives. Which?
I NEED THE ANSWER TOO, PLEASE
I just realised that.
It's the Great Pyramid in Giza.

Sooty's first sketch?
Second question.
How did the Black Death arrive in England?
A) Rats and/or other 'infestation' wildlife.
B) An infected sailor.
C) Wildlife cargo.
The answer is B. And for a bonus point, the sailor was French. (So I suppose one could accept 'frog' as an answer, to either A or C. 
)
... And in which year DID it arrive?
1348.

Surely ancient civilisations would have gone out of their way to destroy such a thing?
A sailor?...
Aaron these are good. Can you point me at some reference sources to back them up?
Q) Which BBC news journalist used to perform sketches with Alan Bennett whilst they were both students at Oxford University?
A) John Sergeant.

Well the Black Death stuff I heard on two separate documentaries on TV today, but I'm sure the InterWeb will provide if you need to see something yourself.
I expect that the Pyramid thing must have been on a similar documentary, a couple of days ago. Afraid I can't remember which offhand though.

That's the kind of vague substantiation pub fights are made of.

Ah, but "what is truth?" (No, let's not go down that thread again...)
Isn't 'Aaron said so' enough of a reference point?
Truth is being able to back your facts up when Big Keith has lost out on the bottle of Bell's by one point after a question about the pyramids.
Keep the questions coming by the way. I'm trying to get the quiz wrote by the end of tonight.
