[boombexus]

Interesting. The answer I was looking for was the Andromeda Galaxy.

But in light of this new info, I guess Rumple would be more correct.

 

[Mike Rotch]

Doa!

 

[Rumple Foreskin]

I always knew you were inferior to me Mike, now I proved it.

There is a special spot in The Rumple Club for you if you want it?


Snakes
We know that snakes, when they're scared, will hiss or rattle. There's one type of snake, that when it's frightened, it farts. What is it?

 

[boombexus]

The Coral snake?

Ok, It is 4am,
How long ago should I have gone to bed? I will accept multiple answers to this question.

 

[boombexus]

False.

 

[Mike Rotch]

Trick question. You shouldnt have gone to bed at all.

 

[boombexus]

8 hours ago you baby. Ha!

 

[Rumple Foreskin]

Well, I like Booms answer of False, but Mike hasnt had a chance in a bit so I am going to have to go with Mikes reply.
Sorry Boom, but you now offically suck at general trivia. Pack your bags and get the hell outta here. Dont let the door hit you in the ass on the way out.

Nope. A Gross is it's very own unit. Probably not in the metric system.
