The average age of a phoenix in Vietnam was... n-n-n-n-19.

Can you have your corpse built into the walls of one of the colleges?

Or have it dragged round town by a horse till it disintegrates?

Why is mummification illegal?

health and safety regulations. bonkers.
but no it is actually something more mainstream which is the fourth most common way.

Getting chopped up for experiments!

how eloquent Your Eminence, you can donate your body to medical science. each undergraduate is given a corpse to "chop up" and dress in a funny hat on the last day and leave on the bus.
over to you.

Cheers UP. Nice question, where do you find out stuff like that?

.....

Name a mainstream Hollywood movie which doesn't star any females.

There may be more than one, the one I'm thinking of isn't a cartoon or anything like that, and there are no female characters either.

i spend a lot of time in the library for work. (but not as much time as i spend on here

ops: ) i'm like a dog with a bone when something fascinates me.

i'm thinking it must be a western.
but i'll guess waiting for godot (not sure it was ever a film though)

Don't think there was ever a Hollywood version of Waiting for Godot, although I just looked up IMDB.com, and there is a version starring both Brian Blessed AND Leslie Grantham, so I'll be rushing down to Blockbuster as soon as I knock off.

There could well be some Westerns without any lassies in, but I can't think of any (and I hate Westerns anyway).

It's quite a famous film, and there are actually two versions, one British and one American.

hmm stumped. films is not my strong suit but since nobody seems to be playing with us at the moment i will put on my thinking cap.

Reservior dogs? Although there is a woman in the car that shoots one of them I'd hardly class that as a starring role.

There was also a waitress in Resevoir Dugs.

Doesn't matter anyway, cos the film I'm talking about, there are NO females whatsoever for the entire film.

I'll give you another clue, the film was based on a very famous book.

Are there any birds in Lord of the Rings?

Cardinal Sin · Post by **Cardinal Sin** » Tue May 16, 2006 2:49 pm

Was Cate Blanchett not in Lord of the Rings?

Stupid girl. I'll teach her to be in films.

Black Hawk Down?

Istenem · Post by **Istenem** » Tue May 16, 2006 2:56 pm

were you in it your eminence?
the three musketeers?

Cardinal Sin · Post by **Cardinal Sin** » Tue May 16, 2006 3:05 pm

Black Hawk Down: Not a bad guess, but since it was filmed in a city, I'm sure there was at least a fleeting glimpse of a girl / woman running from a hail of bullets.

The 3 musketeers: Not seen it, but I'm sure they didn't film the whole film without having at least one gratuitous shot of a ladies' heaving bosoms

...

This film I'm on about is notable for its lack of the ladies. As soon as it comes into your head, you'll know you've got the right answer,
