Well you live and learn

Apparently this is true :)

Now I need to think of a question, and I *did* have one set up, but have forgotten


So randomly:

What liqueur bearing the letters D.O.M. on the bottle label was developed at Fecamp, France, in the 16th century?

I seem to remember it was Denis Law who was playing for Man City against his old club Man United.

I'm not working now so the answer is Burnley. I cant recall all the details but there was a group of soldiers from Burnley that were based in Fecamp Normandy during WW1 that acquired a taste for it and brought it back. Something like 40% of the benedictine drank in the UK is consumed in Burnley. Thats the general gist of it anyway.

Correct. In Burnley it's known as Bene or Bene D which is pretty apt as I was born there! Your go.

Or MIT?

Right first time MR C. It was at Cambridge University and it was pointed at a coffee pot to save the scientists wasted trips. Your question.

Bloody ****. I remember it happening, but it was never called a webcam :)

Well here's a little nugget. Although it may be referred to as a 'herd', what other collective noun exists for a group of Rhino?
