Day #22: The Irish are definitely stout!


I meant stout-hearted actually.

With a bit more experience, they can do wonders to all and sundry.

In reality, England did not fare badly the other day; the Irish were doing good. Some crumbs of comfort.

Heard that the Graeme Smith catch by Johnston was a stunner. Should check that out in the highlights.

Aiyah! the timing sucks...

Saw this interesting innovation from Google. All ye luddites out there can utilize this...;-)

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 the previous question: Hammer (Malleus), Anvil (Incus), Stirrup (Stapes) are the bones in our ear; they are the smallest of the 206 that we have. Especially Stirrup which is about the size of an 8-point Arial letter.


Four got it. New entrant Praveen seems to have mugged it in his school; Guru got help from the doctor; Anand Re from Wiki? and Sivasubs from his teaching days. Good show folks.

Today's question [Courtesy: Rohit]:


  • Which fictional character started his life with the name of Mortimer but got re-christened to a more famous name because the creator's wife did not like Mortimer?

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...
