[Intellectual] Trivia quiz!

[Beren One-Hand]

Hmm, I'm thinking of Gilbert Ryle but that probably isn't correct.

So I'm going to go with Bertrand Russel, who's pacifism in the first World War probably pissed off a lot of people. Further, as he was IIRC (it's been years since I did my esc. phil.) of the Analytical movement, he might have well attacked religion, though I can't distinctly remember it being mentioned.

Bertrand Russell is in fact the correct answer.  Good job Pulsifer!  Russell in fact wrote an essay, which I have in my library, entitled: "Why I'm not a Christian."  I am a devout Christian, and couldn't pass up buying/reading that title.  I always have enjoyed dabbling in views that are oppossed to mine.  Since then I have read some of his other works as well.

Go for it Pulsifer!  Your turn . . .

[Pulsifer]

Woot, lucky guess (Actually, my repertoire of famous 20th century british philosophers is limited to Moore, Ryle and Russell, but I digress)

My question;

To which natural phenomenon did Sun Tzu declare warfare most similiar to, and why?

[HeruMorna]

I think the answer is Water. Primarily because water has no fixed shape and becomes what it is encompassed in which is the same for soldiers as well since a soldier is also determined by the enemy he is battling.

^ If that made sense

[Beren One-Hand]

Pulsifer, where have you been?     Was Heru correct?

[Pulsifer]

Ach! Just moved into a new dorm and my internet has been absent until, say, two hours ago.

Sorry - but yeah, Heru nailed it as I expected. (Tell me honestly - did ya google it? )

I can't come up with a question off the top of my head - so someone, come on!

[HeruMorna]

I was tempted to in order to frame my answer right but I tried my best to recollect from first year in college where we had to write an essay on The Art of War applied to Business Management (I'm a Business major).


Here's a question for you guys:

What was the name of the first film Sylvester Stallone acted in? (I'd be surprised if any of you had this your collection )

[Insane_Monky]

Italian Stallion?

(If that is correct, the only reason I'd know that is because I looked up Stallone's filmography...)

[Leora]

Heeey, I heard about Italian Stallion! In one of those stupid shows on TV. They even showed bits and pieces!

(Heru, YOU own this, do you? I wouldn't even be surprised, actually!)




</OFF TOPIC>

[HeruMorna]

Well, Italian Stallion is not technically correct, since its the edited and re-released version of Party at Kitty and Stud's which was the title of the original porno. However, its close enough, so go ahead Monky, ask a question.

(Heru, YOU own this, do you? I wouldn't even be surprised, actually!)

 

I don't own the movie, but its available...

[Insane_Monky]

What amusement park holds the record for the most naked poeple to ride a rollercoaster at once?

[Beren One-Hand]

Thorpe Park in Surrey, UK.

[Insane_Monky]

Nope, sorry.

[Insane_Monky]

Since noone seems to know this one I'll give youa all a few hints.

1. Beren: You were right about the country being England
2. The rollercoaster is a steel inverted coaster

But the question is what amusement park holds the record, not the name of the rollercoaster itself, right?

[Insane_Monky]

Correct. I just thought it might be slighty helpful.
