    Red, just like yours and mine. Dr Spock was the baby and child specialist, not Captain Kirk's side kick.

    I guess Renault has to work or something peculiar like that. As you already know you are right Beth, so what is this fiendish question you have for us? I hope Kilburn is awake.....[/QUOTE]

    Yeah sorry guys just settling down after a day of training. 2 more years and I will earn some mobey....

    Yes, great answer, I do believe you're correct and I'm wrong - great, a trick question, Kirk's friend was Mr. Spock.

    I'm happy to stick with Grinner's question (below), although it does seem to be waiting for a punchline....

    Is that "the day of its birth" or on its birthday....
    If it is on its birthday...most do (not ostriches or emus etc) but on the day of its birth those are bush-turkeys.

    Birds usually cannot fly because most are born without feathers
    Bush turkeys are born eyes open with good feathers but I am informed that it is more plummeting with style rather than flying

    There are several, including the california quail chick. They're called megapodes

    Close enough Beth, mallee fowl are hatched in warm sand and dig their way out and immediately fly up to a branch of a tree to avoid being eaten; they have to fend for themselves without any parental aid. Over to you.

    It's from the colours of the German football federation badge. It's actually green and white, representing the colours of a football pitch.

    OKay...I will stop being tricky. Well done Mack (not sure about green representing the green of the footy pitch, though. but will go along with that)....
    The incorrect myth...and wrong answer, is it is honour of the Irish who were the first team to play Germany after the war...apparently this is not the case and anyway switzerland were the first team to play Germany.

    Now googled the answer ...and got a different (and better ) explanation for why the badge is green

    WKI
    The biggest kingdom was Prussia, whose flag was white with black borders on the top and bottom and a crest containing yellow and red. These are the colours of the first strip.

    http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Flag_of_Prussia_1892-1918.svg

    The second biggest kingdom was Hanover/Saxony.

    The flag of saxony is green and white with a crest. These are the colours of the old second strip.

    That is a better answer to the total question
    Mack is still right though...Green is colours on the badge

    Your turn soopermack

    In 1969, in the old 1st division, what player scored direct from a corner in 3 consecutive matches?

    A victory for defeatism!

    In which EU country is it still legally possible, if still highly unusual, to marry a dead person?

    I reckon it is compulsory there, not highly unusual!
