Cult TV quiz:

1. What was the crime they didn't commit
2. What is The Answer?
3. Who is Number One?
4. What was "Nosey" Parker's previous vocation?
5. It's... green.  Certainly is, but what's the drink?
6. What is the collective term for a group of gorillas?
7. What is the most cromulent word?
8. What is "Kate" short for?
9. Name all seven firemen (in order)
10. What do you want?

No I'm not going to give context.  You're all big enough geeks to know what shows the questions refer to. 

And yes, at least one has several possible answers.

6 is a whoop (sp?). It's a flange of baboons and, quite interestingly, these were terms that were made up by the team and have ended up being adopted by the scientific community...

Watching the QI rerun too, were you?

*giggles*

It makes us learn things!

[lordofthewheel.livejournal.com]

I believe the original question (if I am correct, that is) relates to a comedy show in the 80's called Not the Nine O'clock News (great fun if you ever see it) with a sketch featuring Gerard the Gorilla...

Though yes, I'm a fan of QI too, quite obviously :)

[tanisafan.livejournal.com]

Yup, it was a Rowan Atkinson sketch, no?

It popped up in last night's QI rerun though, which is why I giggled ;).

Oh BBC2, what would I do without you?

[lordofthewheel.livejournal.com]

aha, I didn't know that, I'm a couple of weeks behind but am recording them...
