New Game - True or False

[Interference]

False, we came from Mars and nobody really wants to go back.

T/F The remnants of a Martian civilisation would be long-since eroded by now, so we'll never, ever know if life ever evolved there in any sentient, cognitive form.

[Werewoman]

False. Ever heard of an-thro-po-lo-gy? Or Arch-e-ol-o-gy?

Surely there has to be something left for Bones** and Indiana Jones to find! I mean, they're the best in their fields, aren't they? Oh wait, they're not real, either, are they? Fiddlesticks!

T/F No one ever swears with the word 'fiddlesticks' anymore.

**Bones, as in the TV show called "Bones", not as in Star Trek's Bones, who, is indeed, a doctor of medicine, and not of archeology. Just thought I should clarify that as you are probably not a fan of such TV shows, though you should watch "Bones" if you ever suddenly feel the need to watch gads of bad american television.

[Interference]

False, I know at least one violinist who uses the term.

T/F Bad television is a subtle form of revenge.

[Arwena]

As Bones would say, "I'm a doctor, not an archeologist"

False. There's nothing subtle about bad television

T/F Good television is an oxymoron. (I'm not really that sarcastic, but I was compelled to use the word "oxymoron" in a sentence.)

[Interference]

I haven't seen a good oxymoron in ages, what channel is it on?

T/F An oxymoron is someone who thinks breathing is bad for you.

(Yes, all right, you caught me - I am usually this sarcastic )

[Arwena]

False. Etymologies can lead you astray.

T/F Scotland is north of England and slightly to the left

[Interference]

False, as Ace might tell you, England is under Scotland and to the right - in a whole lot of ways.

T/F The northern hemisphere keeps hogging the duvet at night.

[Arwena]

And for good reason

T/F It's hard to get a good night's sleep when the nights are six months long

[Interference]

I know, you keep waking up in the middle of the night for a glass of water.

T/F I'm never any good in the morning without a good eight months sleep.

[Starbeast]

I guess you need a good rest.




T/F: Planet Venus is burning brighter, right now.

[Interference]

False, it's reflecting brighter

T/F Facetiousness and sarcasm are hard to tell apart, which makes it easier to hate both equally.

[Arwena]

partly false, sarcasm can be very clever

T/F Jupiter is actually brighter than Venus

[Interference]

You haven't see their S.A.T. results. Sheeeesh!

(a planet's S.A.T.s are earned, not given. It's a wise old rule known as the S.A.T. Earn Principle ....

T/F The brightest bulb in the box isn't always the best bulb in the box.

[Starbeast]

True, by reading the warning labels on products will inform you what voltage bulb to use. Heh heh, I've seen people just grab any bulb and then....boom! Back in the dark.





T/F: Some snakes can glide in the air.

[Interference]

True, if you throw 'em hard enough.

T/F Some snakes trip over on the ice.
