nobody agrees how long the phœnix lived for before regenerating itself but this is one answer.
so, using NM's fag packet calculations, how long does an egyptian phœnix live for?

NM is right, faultless arithmetic. it seems a bizarre age but apparently it has to do with lunar/sun cycles or something.

Ok then, I'll have a bash.

What is slightly odd about a eulogy for a unicorn?

Blimey! Is a eulogy only to be used for a real person, and a unicorn is a mythical creature?

Or is it actually the title of a song by Tangerine Dream or suchlike?

Is it the fact that the poor use of "a" before a vowel twice in the one sentence is in fact correct in this instance?

Cardinal Sin · Post by **Cardinal Sin** » Mon Feb 18, 2008 5:35 pm

Ross is indeed correct - eulogy and unicorn are both preceded with "a", despite both starting with vowels. Another example would be "a ouija board".

Over to you Ross

Apologies, I'm in the office for 5 mins then out to somewhere with no net access, so I couldnt say who answered correctly if i'd asked a question.

Over to anybody.

Ok simple simple one just for the sake of it.

In which film do we see the credits at the start "and introducing Johnny Depp", i.e. his first ever feature film? And how does he meet his demise in said movie?

i think he was in thelma and louise didn't he do a runner with susan sarandon's purse?

Thelma and Louise was apparently 1991.

His debut was 1984.....
