    You get the right answer, you can pose any question you want. Here's a starter.

    What procedure did eight-year-old Chris Bencze learn from a Simpsons episode, and later use to save his brother's life?

    Scot has it! :banana: It was the Heimlich maneuver; your turn. :thumb:

    P.S. It was verbatim from a TP card; I'm not very imaginative when it comes to this stuff.

    P.P.S. Just goes to show that The Simpsons serves a higher purpose. :holy: :grin:

    What book did the author of "Spook" pen before this book about 'science tackling the afterlife'?

    Bonus points? Who is the author?

    Tipperon is correct! Both are very interesting books. Currently I'm reading "Spook: Science tackles the afterlife."

    The 14th Dali Lama was born in 1935 a couple of years after the 13th died so I think maybe 1933?

    edit: If I'm right and Lost Meme comes on before I do he should receive the torch. It was his post that reminded me of when the 14th was born and I don't know how much I'll be around today.

    Do these questions have to be from a Trival Pursuit game? I want to know if I need to dust off the box or not. :)

    Nah, you don't have to if you've got a good piece of trivia in mind; I was just lazy. :D

    Guess Lost Meme waited for me. Trivia as a question.

    Something I saw on TV last night. This one is for the birds.

    Last night I saw a bouquet of pheasants and a rafter of ___?____.

    Think birds but this may not be fair since the bird is native to North America but that should give it away.
