    A single gram of venom from which specific creature would be enough to kill 80 people or 300,000 mice?

    Today there is only one. In the past there were sometimes two and for a brief period three. What are they?

    Exactly. The Palais des Papes is interesting with all of the portraits of the different Popes painted from the same model. All yours.

    That'a blow - my answer was entirely random !. (Well, nearly). Although Avignon is very attractive -and staying in the square by the Palais des Popes is atmospheric, as are the restaurants, I do like Chateauneuf du Pape. I can recommend Dom de la Pinede. Buying wine from there is hilarious. The case, on a pallet rises out of the ground - seriously - in the courtyard.
    Question soon.

    Ok - here we go ( as the earwig said when he fell off the wall)
    One football club only has provided 2 players for the England side whilst the club was outside the top 2 divisions of English football. since the end of WW2. Name the club and the players.

    Yes indeed. Well done. Sorry if it was too easy. I had thought that Johnny Byrne was the first player to be selected for a full international from outside the top2 divisions. However, he was 1 of 4 (after WW2). He WAS however the first played from the 4th division to be selected for the national U23 team.
    Over to you...

    Not what I read - "The Wow! signal was detected on August 15, 1977 at the Big Ear Radio Observatory in Ohio, during a search for signs of extraterrestrial intelligence. The signal was unusual, and, when reviewing the data a few days later, astronomer Jerry Ehman wrote “Wow!” next to it."
