I wonder if anyone will get that one correct.

I probably don't even have it exact

:cry:

So not it

not to worry - I made an effort - but what 2 were wrong?

# 6 and which other one

but I'll still give out a stick for the bonus question.

No offense to graywarrior, but her thread is just a weak imitation.

Oh, and the Air Supply - that was a true guess, I didn't google that one.

I think I paid to have that one locked.

downloading that one can kill the internet connection and the computer.

:D

I was answering cause I am bored and it presented a challenge.

thank you :hug:

#3:

"All out of Love" only made #1 on the Adult Contemporary billboards. "The one that You Love" was the only one that made it to #1 on the Billboard's 100

x(

:cry:

It's ok

do you have a link to that article?

:)

Since I will never click on the thread that never dies. No, not as long as no one will

FREE THE DUCK!!!

1. Alan Rickman was listed 425 out of 100 in the year 23 A.D., only it wasn't called Empire Magazine back then, it was called the Sanskrit Chronicle.

2. Geddy Lee's name was the nickname that the Great Gazoo used for him when he traveled forward through time from the town of Bedrock. He was going to call him "dum dum", but he'd already used that on Fred and Barney and didn't want to seem derivative.

3. Trick question. Air Supply never actually existed, and in fact the band was a complete media fabrication. Their albums and any songs that managed to chart were actually radio signals received from an alien civilization back in 1972 coming from a region of sky approximately near Arcturus. SETI has kept a lid on this because, for obvious reasons, any society that ever sent out signals of this sort probably isn't worth visiting, having visit, or even talking to for that matter.

4. Logan Plant is in a band named Logan's Run. The band is a theme concept in which band members dress in outfits reminiscent of the movie of the same name starring Michael York and Peter Ustinov. Their first album, "There Is No Sanctuary," bore a couple of top 100 singles, however, it was otherwise met with tepid sales and was largely panned by critics. Their second effort, "Carousel" was widely panned by critics and sales did not top 500,000, although the title track was well received by the advertising industry as it has appeared in several television commercials. They have yet to release another because there's really not much else in that movie worth repeating as the title of an album and several band members have acknowledged that the whole theme of the band is pretty stupid.

5. The 1047 poster on the thread that never dies isn't worth my time and trouble and I won't waste good dignity on even speaking the name.

6. Walt Starr's final words on DU were: "If it looks like it doesn't seem like it should look like that, then look at it again and see if it doesn't look a little different from how it looked when you looked at it before you looked at it just now when you looked at it." It is a legacy we will all treasure.

7. What sort of question is that? The nerve. Plant this!

8. The thirteenth President of the United States is a riddle inside a mystery wrapped in an enigma. His name, as he was known by, was not his real name at all, spelled backwards it is the name of his imaginary friend, but of course that tells us little. He wasn't the last to do anything, however he WAS in fact CREDITED with being the last to do something, only we really don't know who actually was the last to do it, nor why he is credited instead when it is not clear that he never claimed once to have been the last to do it. In fact, very little evidence is available which can actually point to his existence at all, in fact, in some circles, evidence suggests that the 13 President of the U.S. was actually a wax figure of his second cousin thrice removed.

9. The capital of Gabon? What the effing fuck. It's capital is 'G', it's right there at the front of Gabon. The answer's in the effing question.

10.Flame wars? We've never had flame wars. In order to have a flame war, you have to have some screaming and some yelling and some CAPS LOCKIN', assertions of questionable parentage and comparisons of people to various forms of fecal matter. You need the fire and the brimstone. Every time it looks like we get there... Locking...
