Went to my seminary's Quiz night tonight.. our group came in 2nd last (yeah, I know! what an achievement for not being the last!!).. There were only 5 of us in the team when other ppl had 8 ('cos I couldn't find anymore friends to join...)... someone commented.. "It's not about the quantity, but the quality..." .. and then he joked "But we have neither!"
Hahahaha...
Anyway, it was a fun night.. especially when we made up silly answers for questions that we had NO clue about. Like...
Q: Who was the lead singer of bla bla band?
A: Darth Vader
Some items were up for auction as well to raise funds for my seminary. David bid and bought a framed up scenic photo.. it does look quite nice :) Good bid.
Tonight.. I learnt a few things:
1. A somnambulist is a person who sleep walks. (We got this one right thanks to Ming Ghee!)
2. A campanologist studies the art of making and ringing bells. (Our wild guess - Camping?!)
3. A person with phagophobia is afraid of eating. (that's definitely not me!)
4. A gerontologist studies about "old age" or "ageing". (Got this one right thanks to David - an educated guess from the word "geriatrics")
5. One of the early church fathers, Tertullian, says that men should not shave because shaving is like saying that they want to look better than what God made them to be. (or something like that)
6. An alleged relic, kept in Canterbury, is said to be the oldest relic.. what is it? The clay that God made Adam from.
Hahaa.. interesting stuff eh?
I managed to score with most of the theology/Bible related questions.. hehe.. (well not Tertullian though... it was a bonus question to decide a draw between the top 2 tables), but there were only 8 qns in 80! Was totally dumbfounded by most of the other qns though.. haha..
Ok time for lala land! Will post up more interesting stuff when I remember them!
