    Which Raider Is The Smartest........

    in The Bar

    Posted

    I thought we were going to stay away from "adult" :074:

    I did todays quiz and had 6 questions on human reproductive systems :wacko::wacko:

    Answers included Ovaries, Uterus, Vagina, and Scrotum :05::05:

    I was wondering if I got Science and technology or Amateur Gynacology :074:

    WELL, the 11 males so far that have scored 10/10 either yelled out to their wives for the answers or are truly informed about the workings of the female body. Now that IS impressive :074:

    Anyone for BIBLE TRIVIA ?? :074:

    Cheers mrsswordfisherman

    He sounds like an interesting chap really. I just read an abstract from a presentation he made at The Royal Society of NSW

    James Woodford is the Environment Writer for the Sydney Morning Herald and the Author of "The Wollemi Pine" and "The Secret Life of Wombats". In his early twenties he won an Australian Geographic Young Adventurer of the Year Award. In 1996 he won the Eureka Prize for environmental journalism and he has been awarded the prestigious Michael Daly Prize for journalism twice.

    "James Woodford highlighted a curious accord between Wollemis and wombats (the brief title of his talk)."

    Wow, do they both have "woody" bits perhaps........ :074::074:

    "A large number of fishermen are like me: they treasure the time in the presence of the marine environment, the spectacular sunsets, the surprise wildlife encounters (BAAAAAAAAAAA OR IS IT A WOMBAT) and the excitement of a child hoping to land a fish."
