Phoenix's Diamond Anniversarary

Yep, that's the one.

The signal was interrupted by a video of a person wearing a Max Headroom mask, in front of a swaying sheet of corrugated metal imitating the background effect in the Max Headroom New Coke commercial.

The hijacker was successful in interrupting two television stations within 3 hours. Neither he nor his accomplices have been found or even identified.

Over to HE.

Ah very good. Reminds me of this incident (not very work-safe)

This shouldn't be too hard, but which real life murderer played Col Mustard in the TV series, Cluedo?

Never saw it but the only actor that springs to mind as possibly having killed someone is Leslie Grantham?

Correctamundo. I can't actually think of any other famous murdering actors either! (except OJ Simpson but he was found innocent).

I think you're due 2 questions now NM!

I'll settle for one.

Hving wikkied Mr Grantham I realise that I was perhaps a little too conservative in my previous post. (GFor some reason i thought it was manslaughter as apparently did his lawyer).

Anyway which country negotiated a $50m deal to sell its internet domain name (eg .uk)?

What is the least populated jurisdiction in the world?

I'll give you a wee clue, it's an island!

well if His Eminence is going to sound like a broken record with his bloody islands then so am i:

and for my second guess i'll say antarctica

Well, Sue's answer is wrong on about 25 different levels.

Neither Antarctica nor Yemen are islands

And Yemen has about 20 million inhabitants anyway.

And Antarctica isn't a jurisdiction as it doesn't govern itself.

okay okay, no need to be pedantic.

how about that sealand place off essex?

Cardinal Sin · Post by **Cardinal Sin** » Wed Nov 14, 2007 2:22 pm

Pedantry is my calling in life

Sealand is a good guess, but I guess doesn't count because it is only a self-proclaimed jurisdiction, whereas in reality it still falls under British law.

This island in question is rather more famous for another event which happened there...

Nobody lives there, but you're in the right part of the world.
