Feel free to search around for the answer -- its not cheating if you learn something, right? EDIT: When you answer a question, ask a new one (even if your answer might be wrong) so that the game continues. Here's a simple one: What is the collective name for the first five books of the Hebrew Old Testament?

In terms of entertaining trivia, I only know some pop culture junk (spec. 1980's). With that said, who was going to play Marty McFly in Back to the Future before Michael J. Fox?

Senior Member Posts: 362 Group: Members Member #68 Joined: March 15, 2007	Man I had to analyze that piece of !@#@! poem my senior year of high school. Now I'll avoid going on a rant about romantic lit. Was the nick name "I'm a boisterous grumpy but talented composer whose work will be overlooked in the mid-late 20th century by music academe because it'll have become too much a staple of classical music (God forbid)"? I was a music major, and you so much as say, "My favorite composer is Beethoven" and it elicits eye-rolling, sighing, etc. Or they just take a deep breath and quiz you about the most obscure details about his works.

Marvell was writting about 200 years before the Romantics. 2.) I'm not a big fan of Beethoven but I chose a recognizable name instead of trivia about Borodin's masterpiece Prince Igor. 3.) You didn't answer the question. 4.) Did you notice this is the second time you have interuppted the game? 5.) I only had four points but I wanted an even five for better feng shui in the topic.

By the way, the answer to my previous question was actually Brave New World by Aldous Huxley. Who was the first person in space?

Deleted User	Yuri Gagarin. My dad used to have a record of Yuri Gagarin's journey into space, which I'm sure would have been worth a small fortune if he'd kept it. Unfortunately he sold all his records (including some mint condition Beatles singles, EP's and LP's) when he got a CD player. Which astronaut from the Apollo 11 mission did not walk on the moon?

They both have zero calories. prepares to get yelled at for disrupting topic once again That factual error you note might have more of an impact if you had quoted the right post! Anyway, a nipple has more nerve endings than a thigh, thus it is more arousing. What happened to Oliver Cromwell's head?
