Now it’s all getting a bit silly. SILLY!  Don’t tell me – they are ALL Cylons?  No. Don’t tell me.  There’s so much Emo going on (what a load of whiners!) I’m surprised anyone is flying the ship.  They need my hockey teacher to sort them out.  “Lost a foot Mr Gaeta?  Don’t be such a big girl’s blouse!  You’ve got another one, haven’t you?  You just aren’t running around enough!”

University Challenge:  Methinks someone is cheating: 

Paxman: Which French philosopher coined the phrase…..

*BUZZ* – Descartes?

Paxman: Correct!

Me: BWUH???  Hmmm – someone’s had the answers… It’s not like there’s ONLY one French philosopher. Or is there?

Coronation Street: Gail really knows how to pick ‘em doesn’t she?  Husband number one: philanderer – stabbed to death in an alley. Husband number 2. Toyboy eventually got sick of the whining.  Husband number 3. Serial killer – tried to kill the entire family by driving them into a canal.  Husband number 4. Liar and moron. Fails to fake own death.  Class.

Was talking to Chris Smith about the cover for Mere Mortals – she suggests penis.  I suggested penis rising from lake like Excalibur.  She is not a good influence.  And I’m not even thinking about cheese.

There is only one French philosopher (or at least, only one French philosopher who has been heard of in England.)

Sounds like one of those "worth a punt" answers. I'll bet the rest of the question was "I think therefore I am."

Unless it was "I drink therefore I am."

Oh great, now I'll have the Python philosophy drinking song in my head all afternoon...

I prefer I am therefore I drink.

On the Descartes thing, I've seen people on quiz shows do that before -- hear half the question and make a guess based on who or what turns up the most often in that category. When I've been watching (which I admit isn't a statistically valid sample, but anyway) it's worked more often than not. And really, how many French philosophers would your average English-speaking university student be able to quote? Descarte really is top of the list, so it was a good guess. Well, obviously. :)

I think he pressed the button entirely by mistake and then said the first name that came into his head. Seriously - I'd put a tenner on it!

PS Do you shout the answers at the screen? And do you think last night's questions were particularly hard?

I do. I do that will all the quizzes - i'm appalling.

If I can get a third of the UC answers i'm happy!!! I got all the music ones, and the picture ones, at least. i hate it when Paxman gets all snitty.

he's got the bloody answers!!

I never get the classical music ones and I rarely get anything to do with geography. :(

Penis, rampant, on a field of lavender, with cheese (supine) and a bar sinister for goodmeasure?

ps. Not all Cylons, but don't assume the Cylons are any smarter than the humans.

Ok, I don't know the technical jargon for this one, but 'big penis front and center, on a field of black 'seeded' with white drops...'

LOL.

Oh, sorry. I was thinking of the anthology.

Hm.. Is one of the characters in Mere Mortals related to your branch of the Smiths?

LOL!

I'm sure from my email you've realised just how un-smith-like I am in Real Life :)

Yes, it was originally spelled 'Smythe', but your branch got banished, and decided to change their name...

That sounds awfully like cheddar soup with those little cocktail sausages.

Ew! I'm imagining that bright orange cheddar-esque thing with those wrinkled weenies. Sounds like something one should see a doctor for, not eat!

There is cheddar soup with cocktail sausages...?

Really??

Mind you, we eat weird things where I live, so the fact that I have never heard of this is not surprising. :)

What is that form of art where they eat sushi off of naked girls?

(omg, I did not just say that...)
