Reality is an illusion that is due to the lack of alchohol

Religion is for people who are afraid of going to hell, and spirituality is for people like me who've been there.

Sorry SCG, good point well made. Having never enjoyed Civ, er "1", I always refer to Civ2. I am glad that the Quality COntrol dept. picked this one up, as it would doubtless have caused controversy if the question had been broadcast.

lol, this should have its own thread.

If you want goat units download the 'Animal Farm' mod from the Orwell v Sid site, the '1984' mod is better though.

Q? Which is the most valuable special from this list?

a Gold
b Coal
c Wine
d Spice

I realise that "Millionaire" has country variations, but in the UK, you start with ridiculous questions but then they actually get meaningful and difficult after £1000, not more and more absurd!!

Good efforts all round.

I know, but my job description says "Come up with absurd questions". e.g.:

Which of the following is not one of the Orange civilizations?

1 - English
2 - Carthaginians
3 - Greeks
4 - Artesians

I've mention this before, but, due to Civ2 my books "World Hunger:Causes and a Simple Solution" and "An Easy 3 Step Program for Permanent Peace in the Middle East" are NOT being finished.

I also have a huge hole in my backyard that someday will be a pool.
