Day #11: Tribute to Captain Haddock



*(^&$^ Billions of Blue Blistering Barnacles %$#@)*


Various wounded parties had sent SMSs since this morning about what they would like to do to Team India.

Msg#1: Indian team kidnapped for a ransom of
INR 500 million else they will be burnt with kerosene.
Please contribute
liberally. I have already given my 20 litres of kerosene
:-(


Msg#2: Thanks to Dravid and Team for returning
early home just in time to help our youth for their year-end board examinations!

[Do they really want it? From the way this team learnt its lessons, I would not be surprised that such students will only get a big duck - not dissimilar to the Sachin and Dhoni ducks!]

Oh, by the way, Windies won Ireland...
If Kenya beat England today, then all the minnow bashers will have serious indigesion because of having to eat their own words again and again and again (one 'again' for one minnow!)
Now for the Can-You-Do-It-Without-Googling Trivia...
(Just to show that there is life outside cricket, however small! No points; Pure quizzing!)

Answer to yesterday's question: JII, STAR, TADAWUL, BUX are the stock market indices in Indonesia, Italy, Saudi Arabia and Hungary. Check them out here.

Looks like that was another tough one... Only two cracked it fully. Anand Re & Rohit; Muthiah just mentioned that they are stock market indices.

Today's question:
  • Which current day newspaper changed its name to Syonan Sinbun during World War II?

Keep the answers rolling into the usual mailing address. Three prizes at the end of the world cup for the best performers.

Until the next one...

P.S. Some changes in the winnings yesterday; thanks Siva* for your honesty.
