Because there isn't one already

I'll open with one from Red Dwarf:

Your Q Quiz

from the Hitchhikers Triology, what is the two step process for flying?

1. Throw yourself at the ground.
2. Miss.

Correct Sudro, your question

In Arthur C. Clarke's 2010: Oddessy Two, at what "point" is the USS Discovery parked at?

umm.... the point between Io and Europa??

The barycentre of Io and Jupiter?

I'd say that's close enough. Especially since you used another word to describe essentially what I was going for. Clarke describes it as the "Lagrange Point" between Io and Jupiter. Webster's defines "Lagrangian" as "a function that describes the state of a dynamic system in terms of position coordinates and their time derivatives and that is equal to the difference between the potential and kinetic energy." Basically, it's the point at which the competing gravities of the two bodies (and any others in the area) cancel each other out and hold an object stationary relative to the larger bodies. Which could be similar to barycentre, which I found defined on the web as "a centre of mass, esp. of the earth-moon system." So, after that overly complex question and answer, I pass the baton to SoM. I'll try to think of a better question next time.

LOL

Anyway, a Farscape to lower the tone now...

What does Dominar Rygel XVI of Hyneria fart?

Green kittens and beans? (wild guess)

Nothing of the sort. And I said FART.

Helium!

Indeed Pex, your go

Pex?

Okay, I think I can safely say Pex ain't going to post a question, so I'll ask another one to destall this:

Where was the Captain's message to Rimmer meant to be hidden in Back to Reality?

Was it in a microdot on the i of his swimming certificate (despite the fact he can't swim)?

Yup (Although the brummie git doesn't mention which of AJR BSc SSc's swimming certificates it was )

Your Q Bev.

Hmm, well Sci-fi isn't my strong point, but never mind. I was going to ask who lives on the little blue planet but I think that may rather exclude anyone who's not from the UK so instead, rather seamlessly linking in to the musicals thread, how many aliens are there in the Rocky Horror Picture Show?

I believe there were just three aliens. Frankenfurter, Riff-Raff, and Magenta.

I don't think Rocky woould count as an alien as he was created on Earth and was described in the titles as "the Creature"

That's the answer. I was actually expecting someone to answer four since poeple usually count Columbia as well, but she's a regular human.

On Lost in Space, what was the name of the "family camper" that they used on planet?

Heh, sorry, I forgot I had posted an answer to the thread...plus I haven't been online much recently because I've been taking care of my uncle (who's recovering from a very very rough hernia operation).

Not an excuse or anything so that I can get my question in, just wanted to explain where I've been

Glad you're back, Pex -- and hope your uncle is doing well!
