The Guessometer worked for the cartoons, but it knows as much about babies' bottoms as I do, viz: the square root of bugger-all.

We used to only use signatures with credit cards here but now we use PIN numbers instead. It was an odd question.

Surely the answer to a biblical question with numbers in it should be either 7 or 40?
Shouldn't it?

Probably is - the quiz makers have little imagination. But they sure do have a small stock of obscure fillums. As proved by my score.

Yes, I noticed that and can only blame undue hesitation over the last question, changing my mind several times before being happy - and I didn't even look at the DVD sleeve within arm's reach at the time.

You think that's bad? Earworm (all Beaver Scouters will sympathise):
I have a friend whose name you know
Yogi Bear, Yogi Bear
I have a friend whose name you know
Yogi, Yogi Bear!
...
Yogi has a girlfriend too
Cindy Bear, Cindy Bear (swivel hips, wiggle bum)
Yogi has a girlfriend too
Cindy, Cindy Bear (swivel etc)

Thanks, Uncle Pete - I'll try and remember that the next time the question comes up (probably the middle of next week).
Meanwhile, 10/10 in 48 seconds on a Sunday and eighth place will do me nicely.
