okay. this may well have been in the redtops but, the philosopher stelarc has had an operation to get what on his forearm?

Cardinal Sin · Post by **Cardinal Sin** » Thu Oct 11, 2007 2:31 pm

WTF is Redtops?
WTF is Sterlac?

Er... an anchor?

and stelarc is the fella's stage name.

but not an anchor. it is a natural thing in an unnatural place

Well you learn something new every day - and I haven't even learnt what this Stelarc chap has done on his arm.

It must be another part of his body. ... a thumb?

Istenem · Post by **Istenem** » Thu Oct 11, 2007 2:47 pm

on the right lines but it is not his thumb.

Sorry. I'm too inquisitive to wait for Sue to track down each letter on the keyboard to tell me that I'm wrong so I looked up the answer. What a weirdo!

Just as an aside, if you think he's weird - checking out these chaps from the States....

thats all you can say really, is

Yes. Sorry about that. I stumbled on that site years ago and forgot about it until Sue asked her question.

I'm not sure which is more disturbing, the arm or the alien finger!

Apparently they are planning something 'genital-based' too

Sorry for butting in, but I've got a good one (straight from the annals of QI... again)

How did the game Subbuteo get its name?

Istenem · Post by **Istenem** » Thu Oct 11, 2007 4:45 pm

sub = under
but is the french for a game (as in match of football)
and eo is portuguese for i.

anywhere near?

theoak · Post by **theoak** » Thu Oct 11, 2007 4:47 pm

a substitute for putting your boots on for a kick about... eo.

To be honest, it's quite unguessable, unless you either knew the answer or had a very extensive knowledge of the animal kingdom and all the Latin names for birds.

Subbuteo is actually half the Latin name for a particular bird... which bird? (the answer is quite logical, if still quite difficult!)
