Q9. What instrument is used to measure wind speed?

I am surprised, given it is such a big animal, I thought much longer than that! I mean a horse is 11 months, sheep 150 days.

DOn't know the wind speed answer - something 'ometer I think.

DM gets that one - anemometer is right.

Last Q. Which nursery rhyme describes visiting the pawnbroker?

All Around the Mulberry Bush...pop goes the weasel!

I have no idea - going thru' all the ones I know, not came up with a likely candidate yet!!!!

Here we go round the mulberry bush is thought to be about the Black Death "a-tissue, a-tissue we all fall down"

but Pop Goes the Weasle is right - "popping" was a euphemism for going to see Uncle! so another 3 points to Eileen!

Well done Eileen - you have won with 21 points. Sorry CM you are next with 10. It was sad that we did not have a third player, but thanks, I hope you have enjoyed it?!

Oooh Angie, nursery rhymes just gave me a good question to add to my pad! I keep one by the computer to jot down an idea!

calismum · 13-05-2009, 09:22 PM

Great questions, yes did enjoy. Thanks angieh, I do prefer when I learn something.

Well done DM.

Angie, this was a great quiz, and I'm not just saying that because I happened to know some of the answers...you always come up with such good ones! I hope I can do as well next week; sorry Yola couldn't make it. Hope she's OK.

CM, thanks for playing...enjoy the Apprentice!
