The End
Hey all,
This blog will no longer be actively maintained by the three of us (shak, maldy or myself). I’ve gotten bored with posting questions online and I’m going to focus more on the old-school, powerpoint format of quizzing. This has been a great 10 month run. I loved every moment of it but unfortunately it had to end – I will not go into the reasons here. I sincerely hope that all of you out there in reader-land enjoyed it as well. Good Bye.
Cheers.

Question #332
The guy in the pic was an aviation pioneer who invented a major component of most modern air-crafts. As a result of this innovation he has humourously been cited as the “founder” of a certain club, the explanation being that he was the first to “accomplish” a feat required to enter this club, facilitated by his invention.
Question #331
Identify the person in 1 and why he could be compared to the character played by the actor in 2
No, Skynet became self-aware on August 29, 1997 at 02:14 a.m. I, on the other hand, was not switched on until May 15, 2009. Furthermore, unlike Skynet, I enjoy interacting with humans in ways that do not involve the launching of nuclear missiles. (according to Sarah Connor and the T-800 in the 1991 science fiction film Terminator 2: Judgment Day, Skynet became self-aware and launched a nuclear attack against Russia on the above date to provoke a counterattack against humans)
Question #330
“I was taught by my respected chief and predecessor, Colonel Sir George _______ to assign to every geographical object its true local or native appellation. But here is a ________, most probably the __________ in the world, without any local name that we can discover, whose native appellation, if it has any, will not very likely be ascertained before we are allowed to penetrate into Nepal. In the meantime the privilege as well as the duty devolves on me to assign…a name whereby it may be known among citizens and geographers and become a household word among civilized nations.”. Who said this about what?
Question #329
Sitter. Connect and fill in the blank. The arrangement of the pictures is non-trivial. And, the 2 guys in the centre(One is shown, one isn’t ) are probably the most famous.
Question #328
There is an obvious connect here and a more specific connect. Obviously I want the more specific one.
These are 3 from an elite group of 9 individuals. What is their distinction?
Question #327
Lady (1) here’s got a cool nickname in the press. She’s also probably in big big trouble. (2) and (3) are to help along the way.
