Angela, I’ve got to confess: nope, yesterday’s Teaser wasn’t about the Octopus.
But if it’s any help, it’s now got it’s own iPhone app.
All that, and — apparently — it’s named after a character in a poem called Der Tintenfisch Paul Oktopus.
Weird …

At any rate, I think we can officially start to get moving on, can’t we … ?

Yesterday’s Teaser saw Trevor, DjAlfy — Angela, herself — and newcomer, AlexandraFunFit, who’s one half of a pair of twins, along with her younger sister, Kymberly, putting in their answers.

“Heaven cannot brook two suns, nor earth two masters.”
“I am dying from the treatment of too many physicians.”
“I am not afraid of an army of lions led by a sheep; I am afraid of an army of sheep led by a lion. “
“There is nothing impossible to him who will try. “

Wow, 0 out of 7. I feel so...special. I'm an optimist, so in my world that's 100%. I'll try today's, but Trevor already has it, so I'll stick with my winning plan of wildly guessing.
ReplyDelete1. Tom Hanks
2. Apollo 13
3. The part without any gravity; where the flag was
4. Just the one, because once the U.S. does something once, it gets bored and wanders off.
5. The opening of a retail store selling wigs and wooden dentures.
6. Hmm, that was either Tom Cruise or some German-speaker named Von Stiffy or something.
7. Those Ethiopian kids with guns don't "invade" so much as "get excited and take down everyone in their way." But I think it was Somalia, as that's when a LOT of Somalians moved to Minnesota.
Gee, I feel the opposite of "so much smarter" already.
Oh, bless you, @<a href="http://funandfit.org/”>Alexandra</a>!
ReplyDeleteMaybe i should have said the sea of tranquility if it's right, as it's the only place on the moon i know the name of anyway... :)
