That's it, Chimborazo at 20,549 feet and 1.4682 degrees south of the Equator just pips it's near neighbours Cayambe and Cotopaxi...

Cheers Sooper. It was once thought to be the highest mountain in the World - and is actually the furthest point from the centre of the Earth.
OK. Which animal passes the most wind ? So much so that they are the second largest source of methane emissions ?

Cattle...

 

[colognehornet]

Cattle...

Nope, not cattle. That would have been too obvious. To give a clue this animal probably gets so frustrated pooping so often, that they actually communicate with each other by banging their heads on the ground !

 

[Shawswood]

Sheep?

 

[colognehornet]

Sheep?

Nope, not sheep.

Didley

Nothing right so far. A couple of clues. It doesn't smell because it contains so much methane, which is odourless - fortunately most of this doesn't get into the atmosphere. An animal which never sleeps !

A few more clues here. Individually they are not up to much, but collectively they outweigh man by about 7 to one - hence the problem with potential gasses. In some countries they are eaten.

Termites.

 

[Ninj]

full of gases? must be Politicians!!!

 

[colognehornet]

Termites.

That's the one Stroller Apparently the little buggers are farting solidly 24 hours of every day and it is nearly all methane - collectively producing the equivalent of about 20 million tons of emissions. Fortunately not much of this escapes into the atmosphere because the bacteria found in their mounds filters it. Over to you.

Anybody?

Beth would probably get it.

 

[Shawswood]

The only English folk-rock bands I can think of are Pentangle, Fairport Convention and the Spinners at a real push, am I in the zone?

Fairport are one of the bands, the other came to prominence in the 80s.

 

[colognehornet]

Is the link a character mentioned in song ? Murder was a theme which often came up in songs by folk rock bands so is that the link ?

 

[Steelmonkey]

The Levellers? Men They Couldn't Hang? No clue on the connection though....

 

[Stroller]

Yes, The Men They Couldn't Hang is the second band

The clue is in the name.

One of the bands had an album named after the murderer in question.
