Since i just asked a ''question'' on another thread for a laugh i thought I might as well start this.
If it's popular I'll keep score and announce the winner at the end of this month ( most first right answers).
Easy one to start - first to answer gets the point.
How do you get Piccachu onto a crowded bus?
Pokémon?
Yay!
leevil gets the first point of the month.
another point to first who gets the question in Astronomy thread.
next question - if you're not here - ? Ya gotta be innit to win it!
In what sport is there a 'finish line' that competitors do not have to cross (but usually, eventually do cross) ?
Marathon running?

Nope, they have to cross that line. Nice try though.
I have a feeling it's not a running event at all.
I'll give clues tomorrow when more people are about.
Goodnight peeps.
Drag Racing?
Quote: Leevil @ April 17 2008, 3:06 AM BSTDrag Racing?
Whatever you're into wearing that looks like a finish line to me: No Sorry
On the morrow peeps.
And - as I really am going to bed now - just to clarify some rules.
For the moment, you can have as many tries as you like.
Some future questions will be different - easier or researchable=penalty for wrong answer. fastest finger first wins.
Other questions will be 'penalty point' stylie. a numerical answer where u score a point for correct but lose a point for every digit yoy are away from the correct.
others will be 'who's nearest' stylie. i.e. the answer will be a year or a difficult, and difficult to research number/measurement/statistic, etc.
most will still be just Gen knowledge or downright silly.
Watch this space!
I 'sport' a euphamism for the horizontal tango?
Ok,
It is in no way a trick question.
A well known sporting discipline with several different events.
Off to the shops, back soon. Nuvver easier one.

Hmmmmm, just a tickle late on the buzzer there Griff!
Tennis has a thinnish line marking the boundaries.

Nope, it's something very obvious, a finish line that competitors are not required to cross - and the clue in the question (but normally, eventually do)
OK Question stands for now and is now worth 2 points.
Meanwhile easier one>>>>>>> coming
Careful with this one cos relatively easy and topical to here. You lose a point if you offer a wrong answer.
''What do Barney Rubble and Frank Spencer have in common ?'' 1 point.
Quote: Griff @ April 17 2008, 12:51 PM BSTBoth married to Betty.
Yay! well done Griff - draws level with Leevil.
Don't forget the finish line question is stiil open and worth two points -
Further clue -
the answer is mentioned in the ''astronomy'' thread.
Also the question there that started me off on this is still open and valid for this quiz.
New question coming soon
