Greek guy who is very good at carrying large round things on his shoulders

If you are talking about the Greek guy I think you are, I'm not sure the SKY counts as being round. :P

Damn QI...

[fallimar.livejournal.com]

Yes... should have been large BRONZE things on his shoulders, eh? :P

[conradin.livejournal.com]

Exactly!

*sigh* I seem to have lost my copy of series D...

You do realise that QI, like Wikipedia, is not infallible. :)

What! How dare you!

;)

I know at least one person who almost ends up swearing at the show when Stephen Fry declares that because something is a marsupial it is therefore not a mammal.

In this case they seem fairly right, however, my interpretation is flawed, as he is depicted often holding up the celestial sphere quite often, which IS shown as being round. And of course theducks was referring to the celestial sphere and not the earth in his original quiz, now wasn't he... :)

[number] - Mulder deals with vampires

the ep was called "3"

[number] - How many rings were Dwarves given?

Three Rings for the Elven-kings under the sky,
Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone,
Nine for Mortal Men doomed to die,
One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne

Greek guy who is very good at carrying large round things on his shoulders

i think that was atlas, since he carried the world on his shoulders.

Nano - prefix for 10^9 ** I forgot to put a - in front of it. Falli said Giga, which is indeed 10^9, but I meant -10^9
Kevin (Gabriele Kerner = Nena, song = 99 Luft Ballons) - First name of the writer of the english lyrics of Gabriele Kerner's big hit.
6 [number] - ASCII character represented by 36 in hex
3 [number] - Speed of light divided by 10^8, rounded to the nearest whole number
Atlas - Greek guy who is very good at carrying large round things on his shoulders
Legs ( Triskele is the weird thing on the flag of the Isle of Man )- three of these are on a Manx triskele
7 [number] - How many rings were Dwarves given?
Hex - Name of the Unseen University's computer
K (morse code) -.-
3 (Episode of X-files) [number] - Mulder deals with vampires
Moon (Selene is the greek/traditional name of Earth's moon) - Selene is one of these
Jerusalem (N Hershlag = Natalie Portman) - N Hershlag's place of birth

[happy-tobeme.livejournal.com]

I hope by saying "i meant -10^9" you mean to write 10^-9 (nano) and not negative 10^9.

:-P

[theducks.livejournal.com]

yes :P

Wow...

[gaewyn.livejournal.com]

Awesome quiz...

First one I have seen in a long time that involved Pratchett :}

For that I must do a quote:

"Eagles have never evolved much imagination or forethought... But it was
forming a mental picture of what happened when you let go of a heavy tortoise
that was still intimately gripping an essential bit of you. Its eyes watered."
