Oolite Bulletins

According to Larry Niven, that would be Beowulf Shaever, iirc.

Niven's Neutron Star - won the Hugo for best short story. <lobs pineapple over>

Oooh, a pineapple? Just for me? Why, thank you, Cody! How did you know I am feeling a bit peckish at the moment?

Anyway, <SLURP> this Star Trek vessel was a little smaller <SLURP> than her sister, the original USS Enterprise. But she <SLURP> still managed to damage her big sister significantly in a battle. <SLURP> (Sjeesh, this pineapple is really juicy)

The name of the ship and her class, please.

Where's me coconut?

Sorry I got no coconuts, you are welcome to some of my fire-roasted peppers, though.

Name: USS Reliant in Wrath of Khan?
Class: no idea (beside constituition the only one I ever heard of was constellation class???)

Only half a freshly bought pineapple for you then, Amah.

Now, , if you know that Hart woman, the comedienne from the UK , you might get the whole one!

ok, have to admit "LMGoogleTFY" was my friend... Miranda Hart -> Miranda class?

We have a WINNER!!!!

Have this fresh coconut!

And over to you, Amah!



PS: if you are wondering what happened to the pineapple, I was a bit peckish yesterday, okay?

why, thanks! <Looking for hammer, saw and drill>

Don't know... probl. too easy, but I have to find some rum, a pineapple to make a pina colada


Who was on board of the shuttle Atlantis to plant explosives on the surface of Attila to divert it into a stable orbit around Earth?

left it a few days to see if someone else wanted to answer....

Commander Boston Low

The Dig.....

Yes, over to you Spud42.

btw. The rest of his crew was Ken Borden, Cora Miles, Maggie Robbins, Ludger Brink. Just replayed it

never played it.. no idea...lol but no one else answered so i googled your question...

ok my last two were very easy so a bit harder this time.

name book and author......

quantum computing, time travel, medieval french knights. spoiler one character stays in the past.
turned into a movie. wasnt too bad but then i read the book .... author was so dissapointed that no more books were turned into scripts....
many of the authors books were turned into movies some blockbusters some not.

That sounds like Timeline by Michael Crichton …

give that man a cigar!! lol
for bonus points who was in the movie?

Not seen the film, but a quick google shows it doesn't seem to have too bad a cast (Billy Connolly, Martin Sheen, Anna Friel, Gerard Butler …). Mind you, the FIFA vanity vehicle United Passions had Gérard Depardieu, Sam Neill and Tim Roth: a cast can only carry you so far!

Speaking of sport, here's my question: name the book (and, IIRC, long-distant TV series) wherein you might play a game of Centrifugal Bumble-Puppy.
