What does that make him? Don Quixote?" -

demon_666

That icon would be an artist's (specifically,

shinga's) representation of

angledge and

chaosvizier. Make of that what you will.

1. The first underwater guided missile launch involved the USS George Washington and what kind of missile?

"Underwater" mistaken for "underwear" - 6

lots42

"King Missile - artiste behind the wonderful tune Detachable Penis." -

sometimespez

(+1 because that song is admittedly funny. -CV)

"Magic missiles. It's a little-known fact that we won WWII because Nazis are vulnerable to magic damage. Just watch Indiana Jones." -

lookingforwater

"Oh sweet Jesus, all I can think of are founding-father 'missile' sex puns. 'How to tell you are reading too much 1776 fanfiction'..." -

oldstarnewshine

"Was it the SCUD? Because I really enjoy that word, for three reasons: 1) It's DUCS backwards (kcauq!) 2) It's like cud, only better by one letter 3) The rum finally hit my system Whee!" -

quasar360

"The first underwater guided missile was James Bond in the Spy Who Loved Me -- don't you remember that car? Not to mention James himself, in many many movies." -

etumukutenyak

(Shoot, I thought that was Thunderball. I must be mixing my Bond movies again. -CV)

starryeyes203

Correct Answer: Polaris missile

2. Michael Keaton stars as a "bio-exorcist" in which film?

"'Bio-exorcist'? Is that where you get rid of termites by yelling at them about the power of Jesus?" -

hylarn

"I'm not answering that. It will make me look old and of poor cinematic taste." -

phrench_phried

"It's probably a sign of my age that I read 'Michael Keaton' and the first thing I thought of was the father on Family Ties. Or a sign of failing mental heath." -

lady_lilith

"I just noticed that Michael Keaton and Diane Keaton have the same last name! I wonder if they're related. That could get awkward if they are...what if someone asked them to star in the same movie as love interests. *shudder*" -

its_what_we_are
"Wait a sec. Is Michael Keaton related to Buster Keaton? Because that would be awesome." -

packbat

(Thankfully, Keaton is not his real last name. - TL)

"Batman! Only in this one, he's been hit by the Bat Shrink Ray, the Bat Snake Shapeshift Gun, and he uses the Bat-L-Juice that makes his hair turn white and spiky so he can pose as one of the Joker's men. But the Bat-Merry-Go-Round-On-The-Head? Definitely ornamental rather than functional." -

traveller_blues

"'Multiplicity.' He was termed a 'bio-exorcist' because that stinker drove people from the theatre by the score." -

conjurdude

"We'll go with Johnny Dangerously because he beat up Joe Piscopo. And that's ALWAYS right." -

operatic_diva

3. Raccoons belong to which genus of mammals?

"Roadkill" - 11 of you

"Aaaaaahhhh!" -

thepikey

"They just want you to think they're mammals. They're actually prototype versions of the land-based warm-blooded octopus soldiers that will eventually take over the world. Right now they're practicing their looting techniques. I for one welcome our new cephalopod/burgler overlords!" -

elvenpiratelady

"I'm a computer programmer, how on earth am I supposed to know these things?" -

b_hulsmans

"Raccoons wears jeans? Dude, how do you get them on the little buggers without them clawing off your eyelids?" -

lady_lilith

"Raccoons are not found in Australia but I always wanted one as a pet. You can blame Disney for that one, of course." -

jechocochan

(...you were doing good until you started doing bad. -CV)

"Hamburglera" -

squeegibo

"Raccoons belong to a genus. Wile E. Cayote, however, belongs to a super-genus." -

kristinmachina,

traveller_blues

" In case you're wondering, yes, it is possible to eat from a few too many garbage cans in one's lifetime. -CV

" -

abouthipsanck3s

"Why, Mustelid, of course -- one of my favorite words and genus. Except when they take over your kitchen at 2 am. Then they're just sharp and pointy all over. 'A skunk was badgered, the results were strong!'" -

glamsith

"Procyon. I knew this from memory, because I was obsessed with raccoons growing up. I was not, however, obsessed to the point that I started to eat strange red leaves that I found on the street, hoping I'd grow ears, a tail, and the ability to leap up high and then slowly glide down." -

conjurdude

Correct Answer: Procyon

n2_the_void

"I don't remember that subplot, and I was IN that show. Oh wait, I thought you said "Barscape"." -

thepikey

"i never watched 'Farscape,' but the phrase 'deposed Dominar' makes me think of 'adipose Domino,' which leads me to think that the Hynerian people lived on Blueberry Hill." -

songquake

(Logic, when strained through seven sieves, sometimes sinks to such statements. -TL&CV)

"I always get Farscape and Stargate confused. Which one has MacGyver in it?" -

alivicwil

etcet

"Oh Farscape. It was made here in Australia, but Australians hated it (except for me, so it seems) and Americans got as dorky as Trekkies over it.

demon_666

Correct Answer: Rigel XVI

"I never watched Farscape. That show was for REAL dorks, which I am not. I'm only a halfdork on my father's side." -

"A more annoying human being does not exist on this planet, BTW." -

wolffepsyche

(I would listen to a thousand hours of Howard Stern if it meant that Adam Sandler never spoke again. -CV)

What are you trying to do to me??? " -
