OK - we all like to laugh at cartoons printed in magazines, like the New Yorker. But using the term cartoon to describe such an image is a far cry from the original meaning of cartoon - which was a full size drawing on heavy paper or pasteboard made by Renaissance artists, and used to create frescoes or complicated paintings.

Which magazine coined the term "cartoon" in its modern sense -- a humorous illustration in print media?
Punch magazine?

DING! DING! DING! Absolutely correct! They used the puppet from the old Punch & Judy shows as their title & masthead - and became notorious for the excellence of their "cartoons."

Take it away orlok!

Can't think of anything really interesting (and I'm on a conference call, so I'm a tad distracted), so here's a simplistic one...

What was the make of the most expensive car ever bought, and within the nearest $5M, how much was paid for it?

The car was a Bugatti Royale. That much I know. But the price?

My guess is 25 Million Dollars, but I think I am wrong

Right on both counts (within the $5m tolerance)! It was a 1936 Bugatti 57SC, sold in Atlanta in 2010 for $30M.

You again harakiri (one day, you're going to have to explain your choice of user name...)

Ah, the heady days of Quake III and Unreal Tournament. Funnily enough, my moniker's from the same origin, though I took it from a character in the Judge Dredd comic strip.

"heady days", you can say that.

I was main target number one for head shots in a Quake mod called Urban Terror .....

This is driving me crazy. I've tried Ohno the U.S. Olympic metalist, Yoko Ono, Ha Ha Ha as lyrics... I counted Ha! space Ha! space Ha! as a group of 5...

I even checked the time stamp between the quoted post and your answer to see if they were 5 minutes apart...

How about a little hint?
