Nope.

Clue: it's to do with capacity.

Is a quarter an American coin, and three of them are the same volume as a coin you call a 'ten' ?

orlok · 03-06-2011, 06:50 AM

No. Think in gallons.

Very very close. Think about the capacity of the hat.

PRELUDE OF THE FOUNDER OF THE DANISH HOUSE

LO, praise of the prowess of people-kings
of spear-armed Danes, in days long sped,
we have heard, and what honor the athelings won!
Oft Scyld the Scefing from squadroned foes,
from many a tribe, the mead-bench tore,
awing the earls. Since erst he lay
friendless, a foundling, fate repaid him:
for he waxed under welkin, in wealth he throve,
till before him the folk, both far and near,
who house by the whale-path, heard his mandate,
gave him gifts: a good king he!

To what are these the opening lines?

As soon as I posted that, I said to myself, I'll bet the Snake gets this one right off the bat, but you beat her to the punch!

Eternal literary fame if you can name the author!

Over to you, Bilbo!

Thanks Tom.

OK, what film, code-named "Daydreamer" during production, was released in 2008 and featured Lucy Liu, Seth Rogan and Angelina Jolie (amongst others) in the cast?
