Legion World Forums LEGION COMPANION Spaceopoly Sci-Fi Trivia Game...

I'm not sure if "famed" is the right word, since even the Pernese seemed to forget about it relatively quickly ...

The answer is: the Dragons from Anne McCaffrey's "Pern" series.

Right you are! I also would have accepted "Pernese dragons". Your quezzie, BPM.

New Question, in 2 parts:

Which well-known SF author wrote an essay on the sex life of Superman,

AND

What was the title of the essay?

Bonus Points if you know another SF author who mentioned this essay in a story.

Man of Steel, Women of Kleenex by... Larry Niven, I think.

And the answer to the bonus question is Spider Robinson.

Our Leader is correct! Having a brain the size of a planet comes in handy!

And LL gets bonus points: "MoS,WoK" was mentioned in one of the "Callahan's Bar" short stories.

SoM is up!

Complete the sentence:

"Tips for aliens in New York: Land..."

"Tips for aliens in New York: Land anywhere. Central Park, anywhere. No one will care, or indeed even notice."

So Long and Thanks for All the Fish - book four of the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy Trilogy

That would be correct LL. Your Q

Sam Casey's ability to disappear at will earned him what name?

The Invisible Man?

Close but not quite right.

The Invisible Boy?

The Gemini Man

The Not-Visible Man?

Sorry, forgot it was my question.

SoM is right, the Gemini Man. It was the second series attempt at adapting the Invisible Man. The first was The Invisible Man staring David McCellum (sp?) from Man from U.N.C.L.E..

You are up again SoM.

Going Hitchhiking again:

How do you fly?

You fall and then get distracted before you hit the ground.

That'll do (I would also have accepted "Throw yourself at the ground. Miss." )

Thanks SoM. If memory serves me correctly, the “throw yourself at the floor, miss” was the prescribed method, but Arthur Dent did it the accidental way. It has been a bloomin’ long time since I’ve read it though, and I couldn’t remember the exact instructions.

Next Question:

What was the “April, May, June, July & August Fool” jape?

Queeg

More specifically, the über-regimented Red Dwarf "backup computer," who was actually Holly in disguise

I thought that would be an easy one for you SoM, going by your sig.

One of the best Red Dwarf episodes IMHO.

Your go again, illustrious leader.

Yep, I love that ep too

A most certainly NOT Dwarfian quote this time:

"Who's the big ugly green guy?" said who about his older self?

Clue: The kid version was also green

One more clue before I give it:

Other characters standing around them were green, gold, blue, orange and lilac respectively. And that was just the humanoids.
