Does anyone have the phone number of TT?
I didn't see that one coming but the beer was already in my mouth, so ...cue Beer/Monitor interchange.
Classic.

I guess once you've passed, you've passed.
EB then sends out the Certificates by email and you print it out (and/or add it to your CV/Resume.)
Plus, the individual number (password) on the certificate is access to the Special Forum.
He probably sends it by snail mail so any special forums can be purged of references to that user before that user gains access.
Nope. I see your name on the 'A' list.

Did anyone else get the question about what fluffy meant? I think the answer was wrong.

I got it right.
I got it "right" too. However IMO, the answer to the question, What does fluffy mean? is not "Soft"..."Light and Airy" would have fit better.

My teddy bear is light and airy...hmmm.

Fluffy is such an abstract concept...teddy bear sounds cute though.

I passed. But now I feel a fool for taking it seriously.
To my credit, I was waiting for the trick question. But it never came.
And now I wonder if I have been living in Germany for too long!

I agree with GreenTea: too easy. EB: Try adding more questions about proper grammar and posting guidelines.

Do you just like typing that word? If it's that bloody important to you just send a PM to Editor Bob and ask him.

I think it was, "How many times can Keydeck quote Marmite posts before his head blows up?"
Actually, I wonder if there was a question on which user name is sometimes used as a verb.

You are reading a thread on TT and you feel a strange urge to post a picture of a kitten in it.
How should you proceed?
1 - blow your own brains out with a gun
2 - stab yourself repeatedly in the chest with a knife
3 - call the emergency services and request to be sectioned
4 - post the kitten picture, assuming that everyone will find it ball bouncingly hilarious
On reflection, tedious reshowings of pictures of your fully grown cat are worse.

I can only imagine what a question about marmite would have as answers.
What is it:
1 German word for termites
2 A sex aid for a certain fetish prone member
3 A cuddly creature found only in Europe
4 Nasty bread spread that some people actually like
The answer is of course number 2!

Of course I like typing that delicious word! And asking the all-seeing, all-knowing Editor Bob via PM would be just so uncool. The great one will reveal what he alone chooses to reveal.
Anyway, see what happened - Eurovol just posted something sensible!

My imagination was running wild along just the same lines.
Amazing it's still there, in fact. I'm beginning to wonder whether both the forum Marmitebot and the Eurovolbot have been deactivated.
