I typed a whole paragraph of mea culpa and our dinner menu and hit the wrong button and everything was erased... so here is the shortened version, which is just to the point... I'm going to give you a question for the Hump Day, Wednesday, and Thursday too, so we'll be back on track...

The Nearly Impossible Question for Tuesday, February 22, 2011 was:

What is the prevalant symbol in Salvadore Dali's paintings???

The correct answer is: The Ankh symbol (According to Bud. I have no knowledge on the subject, although I did read through the internet earlier tonight and found no definitive information to satisfy myself with.) ....we'll give Bud the benefit of the doubt.

Everyone gets TWO points. One for that question and another for putting up with my catch as catch can on the game this week. SORRY!

No one said the Ankh, so we'll do a half point for Bud and a half point for each of you... one full point each...

Okay...

The Nearly Impossible Question for HUMP DAY, Wednesday, February 23, 2011 is: What is the name of the biggest squid on the planet?


The Nearly Impossible Question for Thursday, February, 24, 2011: Why is the beat of a butterflies wing so critical in the analysis of chaos?

Remember, I've got my eye on you..... so NO cheating!!!!!

Have fun everyone!!!!

Bud is wrong;

The infinity symbol is which I believe Bud might be referring to was a watermark on some of the canvass that Dali painted on............the answer is subjective as I said. Ants, his wife, himself, elephants and clocks are recurring symbols that deserve a correct mark.

I just looked at about 50 Dali paintings and didn't find an ankh in even one. If they're there, they're very well hidden! Btw -- Who is Bud?
