Black Ace, please follow what's going on. My question hasn't been answered yet. And it's not your turn anyway unless you answer it! [!--emo&:P--][img src=\'style_emoticons/[#EMO_DIR#]/tongue.gif\' border=\'0\' style=\'vertical-align:middle\' alt=\'tongue.gif\' /][!--endemo--]

I do believe The Saint was refering to me, when you posted your question. Again, I might be wrong [!--emo&-_---][img src=\'style_emoticons/[#EMO_DIR#]/sleep.gif\' border=\'0\' style=\'vertical-align:middle\' alt=\'sleep.gif\' /][!--endemo--]
 
The Saint thought it was his turn because he'd answered a question I had previously answered (is it complicated? [!--emo&:P--][img src=\'style_emoticons/[#EMO_DIR#]/tongue.gif\' border=\'0\' style=\'vertical-align:middle\' alt=\'tongue.gif\' /][!--endemo--] Yes!)

In any case, It was my turn to ask a question, which I did.

Now it's up to you lot to answer it. Here it is again:

How can you recognise right away a fish from a marine mammal that's shaped like a fish?

Well, I did mess this thread, did I ?

Sorry, Black Ace, but let's try to answer both questions. The one who answers both will be able to ask the following one !! [!--emo&:P--][img src=\'style_emoticons/[#EMO_DIR#]/tongue.gif\' border=\'0\' style=\'vertical-align:middle\' alt=\'tongue.gif\' /][!--endemo--]

Now, I'm still thinking about Mav's question. Should ask some friends who were graduating in biology... [!--emo&B)--][img src=\'style_emoticons/[#EMO_DIR#]/cool.gif\' border=\'0\' style=\'vertical-align:middle\' alt=\'cool.gif\' /][!--endemo--]

Just to refresh everyone's memory on the rules, here's a quote from the very first post in this thread...

The next question does not automatically go to the person who answered correctly.
ANYONE can ask a question.

The whole point of this exercise is not to do a Net search. You either know the answer or you don't. I don't! [!--emo&:D--][img src=\'style_emoticons/[#EMO_DIR#]/biggrin.gif\' border=\'0\' style=\'vertical-align:middle\' alt=\'biggrin.gif\' /][!--endemo--]

The only Phoenix band I know is the one that just released 'Alphabetical' with Everything is Everything and Run Run Run... They had a big hit with If I Ever Feel Better.

I think they're from France not Romania...

So, no I don't know.

I'll try a shot: the leader is nicknamed Phoenix the Romanian ?

Yup. That makes it so the same person isn't asking all of the questions.
I don't know the answer of the current question.
 
Well, since nobody seems to know about this Phoenix dude and Black Ace is gone for a LONG while, let's ask a new question instead of letting this thread stagnate. Here is an easy one to get the ball rolling again:
What month is named after a Roman Emperor?
 
Then *you* would be wrong. Julius Caesar was never Emperor of Rome. He was dictator, and was offered Kingship (according to Shakespeare) but thrice turned it down.

Octavian (aka Caesar Augustus) was the first Emperor.

August is the only month named after an emperor.

The others:

January
Named after the Roman god of beginnings and endings Janus (the month Januarius)

February
The name comes either from the old-Italian god Februus or else from februa, signifying the festivals of purification celebrated in Rome during this month.

March
This is the first month of the Roman year. It is named after the Roman god of war, Mars.

April
Called Aprilis, from aperire, "to open". Possible because it is the month in which the buds begin to open.

May
The third month of the Roman calendar. The name probably comes from Maiesta, the Roman goddess of honor and reverence.

June
The fourth month was named in honor of Juno. However, the name might also come from iuniores (young men; juniors) as opposed to maiores (grown men; majors) for May, the two months being dedicated to young and old men.

September
The name comes from septem, "seven".

October
The name comes from octo, "eight"

November
The name comes from novem, "nine".

December
The name comes from decem, "ten".
