#It's Official. I know more about nothing that anyone else in Moseley

Why isn't Natalie here this evening? asked Barry
Because hard work and determination don't win quizzes, Barry, I replied, Furtling around does. Natalie does not furtle.

It was the fourth Moseley Masterteam Quiz last night. My team (or rather, the team I was in) won, despite (maybe because of) having to balance simmering political discord between a serving LibDem councillor and Labour former councillor. I don't want to brag, but I will as my team (or rather, the team I was in) has won three times now. No one else can make that claim, so go on, ask me anything.

Ken [e] said What's the load capacity of an African swallow? [added 26th Jun 2007]
Well a swallow, European or African, weighs about 20 grams. So let's say it can manage a quarter of its bodyweight for shortish distances. 5 grams.

Next? [added 26th Jun 2007]
Ken [e] said Sorry, Jez - the correct answer is a coconut. [added 26th Jun 2007]
Swallows can only transport coconuts when they're in a swoggle, everyone knows that. [added 26th Jun 2007]

I was, of course, using the 2nd definition here ... with the something in question being useless facts. [added 26th Jun 2007]
