Hey. It's gone all quiet in here. Is that tumbleweed I can see blowing across the forum?

C.

I certainly think Eduardo deserves to win this one.

Ok then, that settles it. Eduardo's the winner.

So is eduardo going to continue with the quiz??

I don't know, Hector. Am I allowed to do it? ;-)

Go for it.

Ok then.

There's an Emigre typeface which *name* makes reference to a
famous book written by Aldous Huxley. What's the name of that
typeface? And what's the name of the book?

Citizen, Brave New World

(?)

That's the right book, but the typeface is wrong.
I don't think the word "citizen" is such a reference
for this book either.

If you know which is the longest river in Africa,
you'll probably figure out the answer to this quiz.

;-)

well, I'm not sure what the Huxley reference is, but I
believe Tarzan operated near the Nile... Tarzana?

Not Tarzana, sorry. Think about "the greatest
moralizing and socializing force of all time."
Hope this will help you! =D

If you have the book around, check chapter 2 please. ;-)

Eduardo -

Arbitrary
Brave New World

I hate to answer this now because I don't have a
question of my own and I'm on my way out of the
office. if anyone wants to take my trivia spot, please
help yourself. (assuming I've got the answer....)

Hypnopaedia, BNW

Yep!

You got it now, plainclothes! Congrats! ;-)
Now, since you allowed that, I think that's fair
to let Bj ask our next question.

Eduardo - Sorry, I don't have anything
really good.

I was saying, Yep, as in
Yeah, that's right, PC got it.

but thanks...

I know what you meant, Bj. ;-)
And I'm going offline soon, so I'll leave this
quiz in hands of our dear Quizmaster.
Have a nice weekend, folks!

I'll take that back. I do have a question.
If that's okay with the Quizmaster.

I'll wait the standard hour.
