I would like to tell you about a wonderful publication for any of you who love games, puzzles, logic, mindbenders, etc. and that is Games Magazine. (Picture below) It is especially great for kids. Many years ago I found a copy of the magazine and started subscribing. My son was about 9. He could not wait each month for the issue to arrive and would devour it cover to cover. He now has a PhD. in Rocket Science and I love telling him it is all because I turned him on to Games Magazine. I still give him this for a Christmas Present and his wife says when it arrives she does not see him for hours. So I would recommend it to anyone who loves Games or who have kids who love a mental challenge especially in the Math Area. I was just browsing through this months issue that arrived today and there is a game called Film Quips . So I will post it here and I have the answers so if anyone would like to guess, I will give 5 days of Karma to the person who gets the most right. Can you identifly the films in which the following short lines were spoken?1) We all go a little mad sometimes. Haven't you? 2) You know how to whistle, don't you Steve? 3) Why was I not made of stone like thee? 4)How about a little fire, Scarecrow. 5) Why'd it have to be snakes? 6)"I'm not the One , Trinity." 7) Who are those guys? 8You talkin to me? 9) Is it safe? 10) Badges!?  |

Karma to the person who gets them all. How about 13 out of 14? Rap music has never been my forte. Can you take that into consideration? And extra points for posting before 6 a.m.? |

Why Kathy, you are "right on the money" and karma, karma, karma, to you. The only one you did not get, is "Ice ice Baby", and 'truth", " I did not know that" either. |
