Well, I'm here now and Hamlet isn't as yet, so I'll post a real trivia question... and base it on #5 that you skipped!

In the movie, "Seven Brides for Seven Brothers," I listed 6 of the brothers.
Two part question:
Who was the 7th brother?
Why was 'Frankincense' given that name?

1. I'll take a wild guess and say Gabriel.
2. Because there are no Franks in the Bible?

Nope. Wrong 'G.'

2. Because there are no Franks in the Bible?[/QUOTE]

Yes, and rather a sore spot with him too! No names at all beginning with an 'F.'

Hmm, not a lot of 'G' names either. Gideon?

amward · 02-11-2012, 02:45 AM

Goliath?

"Seven Brides for Seven Brothers," one of the worlds best movies...

Haven't seen it for years but I ADORE Howard Keel. Was that the one where he sang "A dog, a woman, a walnut tree, the more you beat them the better they be"? Or summat like that.

I think Shayne has it. That's what I would have said too.

I don't remember that in "Brides", but there's probably something like that in Kiss Me Kate.

No, 7Bf7B began with Howard Keel strolling through town looking for a wife, and singing "Bless Your Beautiful Hide."

I'm still smiling at the idea of a boy called Frankincense.

Last year, President Obama visited Australia. As happens on such occasions, he made a speech praising his host nation and listing some of its many achievements. However, his speech raised eyebrows among the historically aware on both sides of the ditch (aka the Tasman Sea) when it gave the Aussies credit for a distinction that most definitely belongs right here in New Zealand. What was the misplaced compliment for?

Birthplace of Sir Edmund Hillary of Mt. Everest fame?

Shayne Parkinson · 02-11-2012, 05:03 PM

No, but a good guess!

Clue: it doesn't involve a particular individual (Russell Crowe, Neil Finn, etc).

Another clue: it dates further back than the birth of Sir Ed.

Stitchawl · 02-11-2012, 06:01 PM

Birthplace of Vegemite?

Shayne Parkinson · 02-11-2012, 06:04 PM

We allow them to claim that one, Stitchawl.

It's definitely theirs.

And this dates further back than Vegemite.

Vegemite is older than the Primordial Soup! (Or remains of it...) What could be older?
