Herman Munster really does look like Boris's Frankenstein.  Uncanny. 

 

You don't get another go if you answered your own question. 

 

Q.  What was the name of the first man in Space? 

[[Yo...]]

I know the first dog in space, Laika. 

[[ar...]]

It was Ilea Kuryahkin-back in 2001.  Not sure about the spelling-remember "Space Odyssey"?  lol

[[de...]]

It was Ilya Kuryakin, Arizona.  🏆 Only, I remember him from the 1960's television series,

"The Man from U.N.C.L.E."  I had a crush on him when I was young.  Sigh. 

 

Fancy remembering the dog and not the man, Shook.  On second thoughts.....

 

Arizona's go, I reckon. 

[[de...]]

I think I've lost my mind. 

 

I asked the question, who was the first man to enter Space? 

 

The answer is, Yuri Gagarin.  🚀

 

I became lost in Ilya Kuryakin....god help me, I thought I was getting better. 

[[Yo...]]

How about some pictures.

Illya Kuryakin, the charming devil.

While we wait for Arizona's question...

This exhibit, which opened in 1954 at the American Museum of Natural History in New York, is a reconstructed jaws belonging to a species of shark that roamed the oceans 23 to 3.6 million years ago. Its name, meaning "big tooth", is what?

[[de...]]

Thanks for the pics, Shook. 

 

You can see now why I fell for Ilya Kuryakin.  Swoon.

 

A:  Fangasaurus? 

[[ar...]]

Answer:

 

Megalodon

 

Since, like all sharks, megalodon's skeleton was cartilaginous, all that remains are their teeth.

This novelty pet, a hybrid of brine shrimp, has been sold and disappointing children since 1957. Initially called "Instant Life", they were renamed what in 1962?

[[wa...]]

Sea Monkeys!

 

I was so disappointed when I finally got some. Then came the guilt over the fact that I had them now, and would have them until they died, getting no joy from them at all. So depressing.

 

Also, I'm one of those nerds who still likes to pretend that megalodon is down there somewhere.

 

 

[[de...]]

I was disappointed with Sea Monkeys too. 

 

Poor little things, their destiny a jam jar when born to frolic, with megalodon.

 

Get comfie, Arizona. 

 

 

[[Yo...]]

Sea-Monkeys are an artificial breed not found in the sea, where they'd be certain fish food. They're as content in captivity as brine shrimp can be. Shed a tear instead for the innocent children whose imaginations were captivated by this ad, and promised a kingdom of attractive, humanoid nuclear families...

[[de...]]

That was a crack up Shook. 

 

 

 

 

[[Yo...]]

Maybe you've seen these washed up on the beach. What are they?

[[de...]]

Are they shark eggs?

 

I can remember my father pointing them out to me when we went on holidays down the South Coast. 

 

 

[[Yo...]]

Correct! Here are the different kinds... The corkscrew-shaped ones are so cool.

 

[[Yo...]]

 

Robot says it's your turn!

[[de...]]

Yay, me! 

 

By what other name is the ☮️ known? 

 

It is the name of a 'campaign'. 

 

Thanks Shook, you're no "bubble headed booby".   

[[Yo...]]

Good question. I'm going to plead "bubble-headed booby" on this one. No clue.

[[de...]]

Don't know the protocol Shook, so I'll give the answer.

 

It is the CND sign.  Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament. 

 

Peace, brother. 

[[de...]]

Is it my go, Shook? 

 

Seems a bit unfair, but no-one else was around. 

 

Hmmm. 

 

Who killed Cock Robin?
