No. I guess I'll give a hint and say that there is an architectural... um... thing(?) in the name of this place, but it's not Gate.

It was a bridge...
Stamford Bridge outside York, England

(I'd like to thank the Acadamy and all those little people who... oops, wrong thread)

Let's stay with History, Alex.

Between 1587 and 1590, something happened to the colonists on Roanoke Island that to this day is a mystery.
What happened?

They disappeared? Or were washed away?

Post by **Cheval** » Tue Dec 13, 2005 1:39 am

1/2 point for now,
the full point if you give one answer.

They disappeared

Post by **Cheval** » Wed Dec 14, 2005 3:20 am

...without a trace.
danlo gets the full point.
Your in control now, bud.

This is a tough one, so be prepared:

Who predicted, some 50-60 years ago, that in 2012 (we assume by that that he was refering to the conjoinment of the 2 major Mayan calendars--but how on Earth did he know that at the time!?) a young man would discover secrets in a subteranean chamber beneath the left paw of the Sphinx that would completely alter the way the world thinks?

Ok, my last question is tough--so in the meantime while you're trying to figure that one out: I'll ask you an easier one-

MUSIC: On Pink Floyd's Have a Cigar someone who was never officially in the band sings the vocals, name him.

Super-extracool bonus points and great karma for whomever can tell me the exact song title by Led Zepplin that has his name in it.

*frantically searches through my Pink Floyd album collection*

Roy Harper sang vocals...

*limited Led Zepplin albums, damn!*

Hats Off To (Roy) Harper from Led Zepplin III

Original Question: I'm not sure, but I think I've read somewhere that Edgar Kayce (sp?) predicted something about one of the paws concealing a chamber that will be discoved around the new millinium.

*fingers crossed on this one. I haven't read Edgar books since the 70's.*
(Is he the one whom wrote "Chariots Of Fire?")

Post by **danlo** » Fri Dec 16, 2005 2:45 am

Right on ALL 3 counts! Amazing! Yes it was Edgar "The Sleeping Prophet" Cayce! Cheval is bombarded with the most excellent karma--he simply RULES!!!!

What kind of place handles "Jewelite"?

Post by **Cheval** » Thu Mar 16, 2006 4:36 am

OK... answer is:
Jewelite is a plastic "edge" or trimcap that is glued around plastic letters for neon signs. It creates a lip for fastening the letter to the metal.

Easier question:
If there's a Rock 'N' Roll heaven, what kind of band would be there?

Post by **dlbpharmd** » Fri Mar 17, 2006 12:04 am

A "helluva" band.

The board's all yours, Mr. D.
