Yes and yes.

So 2 points each to issy and Sneaky. So who is going to answer No 2.?

Shayne Parkinson · 02-23-2012, 12:55 AM

2. Scary book. At one level butterflies; at another, young women.

Indeed it was. Butterflies was the answer I was looking for, but indeed young women was equally correct.

So that's 2 each to issy and Sneaky and one to Shayne (who really is a Kiwi!).

Over to issy or Sneaky to pose the next question.

As an aside, does anyone know how to put strikethrough on text?

[ strike ]Like this, but without the spaces,[ /strike ] gets you struck through text

Like this?

It's a "Strike" and a "/Strike" in square brackets "[]" either side of the bit you want struck through.

Was that the quiz question?

Thank you both. I tried that earlier, and it didn't work. Think I did the /strike first (doh). test

Why didn't you just quote my post (unless your subconcious failed to let you know you recently saw it there), and read the code?

Cos I'm thick?

Sneaky? I think it's your turn to ask us a question.

SneakySnake · 02-24-2012, 10:06 PM

Why is it bad luck to kill an albatross?

Daithi · 02-24-2012, 10:23 PM

I didn't know, so I went and cheated -- cool answer.

Bookpossum · 02-24-2012, 10:41 PM

Are albatrosses supposed to be the souls of sailors who have drowned, or am I making that up?

Stitchawl · 02-24-2012, 10:52 PM

Jeez! Look what it did for the Ancient Mariner! One shot and not any drop to drink!

Albatross tend to fly near shore, and sailors just out of sight of land could tell which direction the shore was when they would see one. I guess that's like the Ravens carried by the Vikings in a previous quiz question.
