Trivial Pursuit #2

IJA time as it beats working on a Friday afternoon

One from one of the original board game:

How many hearts does a squid have?

 

I remember this one they have 3, 2 gill hearts for pumping blood around the gills for oxygen and one to pump it round the rest of the body.

 

Correct,

Sorry for delay, Weekend, Illness, Work catch up, in that order.

 

Woohoo

Staying with squid hearts then, what colour are they (and, no they aren't red)?

BTW did the weekend cause the illness, which then made it necessary for work catchup? If yes, good lad If no, must try harder

 

How about blue?

 

And we have a .... loser, sorry no its not a primary colour

 

Purple?

 

Puce?
(Though I think Maurv is probably correct)

If it was the weekend causing the illness, it's got to be the latest acting and longest lasting hangover on record. From saturdays drinking it didn't kick in until tea (and the end of play) at the cricket, although we waited for over two hours before the buggers told us to leave.

 

Good guess still no, it's not a colour you would expect until you realise it doesn't get blood itself...

I take it you were actually at the farce then at the Oval?

 

The only other thing I can think of is... WHITE?

 

Yes they are white, and I remember because I've dissected squid ...

 

Yep, the morning and afternoon sessions were fairly good cricket. Two hours of mexican waves and beer glass columns was a little too much with a headache.

 

What formed Padre Island (TX/US)?

 

Never heard of it, so I'll go for the obvious volcano.

 

Nuclear weapons testing?

 

I would guess a hurricane, but I've no idea which one.

 

Padre Island is a barrier Island, in fact I believe it is the longest in the world, certainly one of longest. Barrier islands are formed by ocean currents, waves, tide and certainly affected by storms including hurricanes.

 

Nakia got it!

 

Yay for me! Do I get a prize?

Here goes:

Major swamps (not bogs, marshes or what UK calls Sloughs) are found on only four (4) continents. Can you name them? I may accept 3 correct answers but naming a continent that doesn't have a major swamp makes your answer wrong so think carefully.

 

North America, Africa, Asia
