Cheers cologne.

Was it Jurassic Park?

Was it Jurassic Park?

It was. With sound recordings of a T-rex being rare, the producers had to improvise - and, for the scene in which the T-rex grabbed and ate a scientist out of the outside toilet, they 'voiced over' recordings of the grunting of a koala and of a male tortoise during copulation.

Over to you.

It is - the giant Pacific one.

What honour was recently bestowed upon Joe Biden?

In keeping with the theme of the previous question.

Would this be the famous Syllipsimopodi bideni - an extinct 328 million year old relative of the octopus which is thought to be the oldest ever found ? Which was named after Joe Biden (maybe someone saw a certain resemblance ).

That's it - used to swim around in the tropical waters that covered North America. Can't see the resemblance though...

Cheers BB. Which is the only European country where some branches of the police still use swords to deter crime ? Apart from the Swiss guard that is. I mean as part of a real countries law enforcement.

Millwall fans have become acquanted with them in the past before a game against the green eagles.

No takers ? The country is famous for other things apart from sword wielding police. It's considered rude to clink your beer glass there (though the police won't draw swords on you for it). The capital has the largest number of thermal springs Worldwide and the VAT rate is the highest at 27%.

That VAT rate suggests Hungary?

That VAT rate suggests Hungary?

It is Hungary BB. Budapest also has the largest number of thermal springs in the World. The Hungarian mounted police are the only regular police in Europe who carry swords - this is largely traditional though they can use the flat of the sword for purposes of crime control, anything else is only allowed in very extreme circumstances. Over to you.

If they drew their swords you’d get the point, so to speak.

The diagram below shows the inner and outer rings of a combination lock. Only three numbers can unlock the lock - which three?
