[kowgod]

Looks like I'm close enough to being a geek ;)

..always considered myself a nerd anyways.

[viscountradu]

ok, either no one knows the answers or this thread just needed a bump

some hints:

4) we are talking about Jack O'Neil from Stargate SG-1.
5) a character from a book. XP is xeroderma pigmentosum.
7) Sam Raimi used this car in most of his movies. i think he uses the car more than Bruce.
9) Watch the movie again. They say what movie Michael Bolton gets his idea from.
10) Key word is "gang."
12) Kind of a hard one if you haven't seen it. The pilot of 3rd Rock from the Sun references it.
13) from the novel The Stainless Steel Rat by Harry Harrison.
19) i thought this one was easy. it's from a comic and the related cartoon.
20) a character from a very popular series of humorous fantasy books.

Google and Wikipedia are not cheating. Answers to come soon.

[bird603568]

[satansmagichat]

9) Superman IV

That's all I got, but these are all pretty random. I'd prefer questions that most geeks should know, not just like a few from random fantasy books I'm pretty sure I was never supposed to read.

[ofcgrl]

These questions made me feel left out...again.

Thanks.

[masherscf]

8) Doctor Who...can't remember the name of his race.

The Time-Lords

9) Superman IV

Ya gotta read all the posts, brother.

[briangilmore]

I know the Sam Raimi car is an Oldsmobile, it's off-white or piss colorish. It's from the 70's and it's the car Ash uses inEvil Dead, Evil Dead 2 Army of Darkness, it's in all his films, Spiderman either hops on it in Spiderman or it's in the background. Def in the background in Spiderman 2.

He's modified the car so many times that everything he's done to it far exceeds that which it is worth. Most people that work with him are sick of that car, yet Sam keeps using it relentlessly. The car's gotten a new engine, new paint, tires, just about everything becuase of the bad times it's seen and almost saw its maker during Army of Darkness (i THINK...)...and i think only bits and parts of the original car are actually left.

I don't wanna look it up, but that's as close as i can get. close enough?
