New Game - True or False

[Interference]

True, until they realise that once they get here they can be like Gods among us ...

T/F Every alien is forced to learn English before they're allowed to visit Earth.

[Arwena]

Forced? They just use their universal translator.

T/F English (including the American dialect) was actually invented by aliens.

[Interference]

True, only they call it Interlac

T/F Aliens are not unlike us apart from the extreme oddity of being unable, dare I say incapable, of enjoying a cup of tea with a biscuit.

[Arwena]

False, unable but not incapable

T/F For the aliens, night is day and day is night

[Interference]

False. Alien night is exactly like alien day - they have 24 hour TV there as well, you know.

T/F Our 24/7 society needs a day off.

[Constantine Opal]

Yes... but when sir? Sundays need to return as days when you can't do anything for love nor money but laze about. Hurrah!

T/F: Baby stoats are the cutest things since very cute things from Cutesville.

[Interference]

A new arrival in the home or is that awfully nice Mr Attenborough on the telly again?

T/F Nature programmes have never properly dealt with the issue of whether the Lough Ness Monster is a monster or a stoat in drag.

[Arwena]

False. No comparison. Size matters. Or is the Loch Ness monster actually that small? (I don't think stoats are particularly cute)

T/F There are extinct species secretly living among us.

[Interference]

False. If they're an extinct species, that have already ceased living anywhere.

T/F There are species commonly believed to be extinct which are still sharing our planet with us in secrecy. (See what I did, there? )

[Sparrow]

False. If an animal is still alive it can't be extinct.


T/F, black and white photographs are superior to color because they leave more room for the imagination.

[Interference]

False, they're superior because they're prettier.

T/F There are species commonly believed to be extinct which are still sharing our planet with us in secrecy. (See what I did, there - again? )

[Arwena]

I see - yes, I hoped someone would fall into the trap, because an extinct species can't be anywhere secretly, they are gone - like extinct! But they could be around if they are only commonly believed to be secret, no?

T/F It would be of great advantage to some species to have it commonly believed that they were extinct.

[Interference]

False - we'd probably still bulldoze their natural habitats, but at least we could get up a good protest about it first.

T/F Protests are great places to get hold of a policeman's hat.

[Arwena]

True, so long as the policeman doesn't get the protester's goat. And now one from Aristotle:

T.F The secret of humor is surprise.

[Interference]

False: The real secret of humour is ...

T/F Timing.
