Ok, rules for this topic are fairly similar to the Q&A thread, only this time, you post a question that you think a member of the opposite sex is not going to know the answer to, such as ohh, I don't know, something about car parts.. Give a few possible answers so that it's multiple choice.. Obviously, if you're a woman, only answer questions from men, and vice versa.. Please refrain from any comments or questions that aren't PG13 please.. (We have to protect Borg and make sure his young mind doesn't get corrupted :D)

First question..

What does an exfoliator do?

Possible answers

(a) Some kind of secretarial job, sorting out folios etc.

(b) it's some kind of cosmetic that removes dead skin

(c) It's another name for one of those kitty litter auto cleaner things

B.

What does the /x switch on a perl regexp do?

a) automatically quotes meta characters
b) eval's the regexp as if it were perl
c) allows whitespace in the regexp

Just a thought

Well technically the girls lost because two girls replied in a row....first lucia, then cal.

Hey! How dare you call cal a girl??


*cough* C, /x allows whitespaces *cough*

Answer C..



*whistles*

Ok, What's the difference between a stilletto heel, a platform heel, and a kitten heel?

(a) They're all just high heels
(b) Kitten is a low flat heel, platform is a higher flat heel, and stilletto is a pointed heel as made for grinding into men's faces
(c) Platform is a chunky heel, usually high, stilletto is a high narrow heel, kitten is a low narrow heel

ummm.. most of b?

What order of layers, from inner to outer are the 3 layers that cover the human brain:

a) pia, arachnoid, dura

b) arachnoid, dura, pia

c) dura, arachnoid, pia

Oopsie Allen, you got it wrong.. It's actually c.. Kitten heels are probably the one that threw you off.. they're low, but narrow like a stilletto.. if I come across a pic I'll show ya

Those layers PAD the brain, therefore a) pia, arachnoid, dura.

I've seen this very game on tv once, and usually the guys will throw boxing terms and the girls cosmetic stuff... But since this is geek city, it's already turning into brain vs cosmetic... which I don't think is a fair representation.

I was going to throw out a crypto puzzle (love those), but it's probably only going to annoy/bore you guys, so instead, a simple progression:

77, 49, 36, 18, ?

Ooops, double post. Btw Lucia, sorry for skewing the guy/girl thing, but they started it.

lol scats, it's ok. I don't mind off topic posts, given that we females are *sadly* outnumbered here..

Wimps.

77, 49, 36, 18, 15

Latest Palm OS Handheld

1) HandEra
2) m505
3) Edge

I'll guess the m505 but I'm not sure.
15 is not the answer.

Is it, um, 8?

My teacher says it is... I was stuck.

Um, I can't think of a good question. Grr...

Hi, uhm this is my first post here, and I realize that the girls are severly outnumbered, but I like games so I thought I would join your discussion.

In the Dragonlance Chronicals series, who is the main wizard/archmage in the story line?

[A] Fizban
[B] Palin
[C] Gandalf
[D] Raistlin

--Tansin

D) Raistlin


Can't think of a q right now though

I must think of a harder question for next time. That one was easy.

1) HandEra's is the latest one

no Q right now.

Got your back Q...

(*Another) Q:

In Thomas Edison's bout with Nikola Tesla in the quest to bring electricity to the masses, what did Edison call Tesla's alternating current?

[ April 27, 2001 02:47 PM: Message edited by: TL ]

Hurray! Yes it is. 7x7=49, 4x9=36, etc....

Well...

That was a short fight...:p

Hi AA ...

dunno if it's a fair fight

although i'm not gonna answer this one (wrong sexe) i did some searching for the correct answer and what you where talking about anyhow and it looks like it's rather difficult to give a correct answer ... because two values listed are considered as leaky ...

Knuff

Well then they could answer mine

[ May 07, 2001 10:20 AM: Message edited by: TL ]

Hey TL,

Yours was not a multiple choose question because you forgot options d and c

Greetz

Knuff

Mine wasn't fair either Knuff, as I didn't give the correct answer...:D

2.5

LoL alright.. I didn't include choices cause of the type of question is was.. perhaps these options will make it obvious.. but in the interest of keeping the game alive, here goes:

In Thomas Edison's bout with Nikola Tesla in the quest to bring electricity to the masses, what did Edison call Tesla's alternating current?

A. dangerous
B. an inefficient waste
C. the executioners' current
D. Tesla's folly

Allen,

As I said i did some research and it looked like it started leaking from 3.2 off in a normal situation ... but then again it was pointed out that 3.5 - 5 was normal (so skip c and d )but it also depended on the hydration state of the body .... but if you say it's 2.5 i don't want to argue ...

And i didn't even consult my spouse to ask her medical opinion because than ... well ...


Anyhow for those who don't know what it is ...

What is albumin?
Albumin is a protein manufactured by the liver.


What does albumin do?
Albumin performs many functions including maintaining the "osmotic pressure" that causes fluid to remain within the blood stream instead of leaking out into the tissues.

btw when does alcohol starts to leak ... ?
