BBC quiz of the week 19/03/21

[guitarpete247]

I'm an " Elementary penguin " with 4/7.

 

[Wixsteman]

Five

 

[Rickshaw Phil]

1/7. Perhaps I shouldn't have bothered.

 

[classic33]

5/7

Got one right having misread the question.

 

[Saluki]

2/7

I really must start reading the news again

 

[Random Monkey]

2/7... Thought I might get 3 after being handed one of the answers on a plate (or on an iceberg, perhaps)... But, no.

Any more, please? I'll do the results and stuff tomorrow, unless I do a rollup with these banana skins I've been drying out for a few weeks.

Congratulations to @Beebo and @BrumJim for passing 50

If anyone tells you dried banana skins are hallucinogenic when smoked, don't believe them, it's cobblers. I saw the macaques at it, but it turns out they're just batsh!t bonkers. Probably all the herpes they carry.

@Random Monkey fact of the week:
The tip of a monkey’s tail has a patch of bare skin.
This part of the tail acts similarly to that of a human’s fingertip. This tip is sensitive to touch and has tiny ridges that allow for a better grip. A monkey’s tail helps them with stability while climbing trees or jumping.

"Helps with stability"? Nah, the main purpose is winkling out tagnuts without them sticking to the end of the tail.

I flick mine at the baboons.
