Trivia Thread

[vincegamer]

I propose this thread as a trivia game.

Here are the rules.
One person posts a trivia question on any subject. The first person to give a correct answer then posts a new question.
You can give hints but there are no themes.
For example, a question about Elvis could be followed by a question about the Aztecs. Whatever you find interesting.
If no one gives a correct answer in, say 24 hours from the posting of the question, give the answer an ask a new one.

I\'ll start it off with a Star Wars question:

What does Han Solo steal from the Death Star in Star Wars: A New Hope?

In the movie \"American Graffiti\" (filmed about 10 miles for where I live), Harrison Ford drives a yellow car. What is the liscense plate number (hint: George Lucas knows it well).

 

[Legacy Account]

From THX 1138 - THX 138 on the reg plate....

Too easy

Name the \'Carry On\' actor, the character they played and the the film in which they starred with only one eye.....

 

[Shawn R. L.]

Cant get that one but here is one that has me intrigued. In the first minuet or two of T3 as John Conner is riding a motorcycle, there is a quick shot of him going away. The liscense plate is T4 followed by some numbers I cant remember at the moment. Back when I could remember them I tried to figure out some significance and couldn\'t. Anyone else figure anything out?

Sorry about being late getting back here but Spacemonkie is right. I saw the film again recently and noticed that Han and Luke both keep the belts when they dump the stormtrooper armor.

I have no idea what a \"carry on\" actor is. Does he have to fit in the overhead compartment?

 

[Infidel Castro]

Kenneth Williams playing Nelson in Carry on Napoleon ???

That would be mint if I were right!

 

[Legacy Account]

\'Carry On\' as in the Carry On films. E.g. Carry On Up The Kaiber!
Nope Rev, not what I was thinking.

It\'s a fantasy movie.....

 

[Matt Varnish]

How were Arthur, Trillian, Zaphod and Ford brought together?

 

[vincegamer]

In pairs:
Zaphod picked up Trillian at a party.
Ford dragged Arthur along with him when he hitched a ride on the Vogon ship.

The pairs were united when A & F were drifting in open space and the Heart of Gold IID reached an improbability factor equal to the phone number of the flat where the party with Z & T was.

Short answer is because it was almost, but not quite infinitely improbable that they would be brought together.

What do Egyptian pyramids have that American Pyramids don\'t have?

 

[Chrispy]

I\'m going to say Egyptian pyramids have those holes so the workers could breath, and as a side note I\'ve never seen an American pyramid. ???

 

[Klute]

Egyptian pyramids have tunnels and chambers inside,American ones don\'t.


What was the real name of The Rostov Ripper??
