Guess who???

[Rhona]

Wait! Wait! was it John Illuminati?

[georg ruf jr.]

Adam Weishaupt?

Hey Carl... ???

[Bertie Horak]

@ Georg - I think you are correct with Adam Weishaupt!  The quizmaster Carl fell asleep.  Regarding the telescope one - it was on the tip of my tongue and I just couldn't get it!  Rhona was too quick for me!

@ Rhona - Well done, thanks for putting me out of my misery!

@ Carl - Was there really a program on tv about sir Kellogg and his socks, sex and stupid ideas?  Didn't see it - coincidence!

Bertie I'm so sorry Rhona was faster. But you know why....  :emot19:

[Bertie Horak]

@ Georg - The hare and the tortoise comes to mind.

Georg Jr, is it hot in Germany today or what?

[Carl Wrbka]

Adam Weishaupt?

Hey Carl... ???

Well done jnr. It was indeed Adam Weisshaupt.

@Bertie - Yesterday on Discovery Channel. The program was called "How it's made". The rest came from Wikipaedia.

OK who'se next?

[Bertie Horak]

Here's one for the boys.  Things we played with when we were small.

Guess who?  Invented "Meccano", "Dinky Toys" and "****** Model Railways".   I'm blocking out one name, because that would give it away, for this specific range has his name!

I had two of the three as a kid.  The third one I got to play with at my good friend in primary school - Ian van Wyk, who lived in E2/11.

[georg ruf jr.]

Mr. Maerklin perhaps?

[Bertie Horak]

Sorry Georg, not the one I wanted, but excellent guess!  He did in fact also have excellent trains and a mechanical toy set similar to Meccano.  Try again!

[georg ruf jr.]

Okay, no German. A Brit named Frank Hornby.
And the Hornby Model Railways

[Bertie Horak]

Yup!  Well done!  You're right, Georg.

[Carl Wrbka]

Ok, this is getting too easy. From now on, NO GOOGLE!

[georg ruf jr.]

What is google Carl?
