Another Shakespeare question then: Which of his plays was described by Samuel Pepys as "The most insipid, ridiculous play that ever I saw" when he watched it in 1662, after the ban on theatre during Cromwell's reign was lifted?

Ok. My sporadic entries into the quiz are by now, as all of you should be aware, merely an attempt to allow to me to ask TV puppet questions. So here is another one for you....

Why was Joe 90 so called?

Cardinal Sin · Post by **Cardinal Sin** » Thu Jun 28, 2007 3:52 pm

I know it was set in the future, so does 90 refer to the year of his birth?

is it similar to 007 for Bond, ie his agent number?
