Quismasters Apprentice .......help please.

Post by Quizmaster »

"Oh joy, a decent Quiz", I hear you say, yes, I'm psychic too QmA. As I’ll be out of action, so to speak, for the next two weeks, oh learned one, would you please look after the Quiz during this time. I apologise in advance to all quiz participants, for I fear that given such long advance notice, the next two Quiz’s will be ‘doozies’. Good luck to you all.

The soulless minions of orthodoxy will be at my mercy.

btw non-wine related quiz. Where were we first alerted to the 'soulless minions of orthodoxy'?

L Ron Hubbard, back when he was a sci-fi writer?

There's a fairly heavily quoted reference to the same thing in Star Trek DS9.

Kieren,

nicely done.

I have know idea about L Ron Hubbard apart from Battlefield Earth being a cracking good read as a book and a disgusting travesty of a movie.

However the reference is from a classic Star Trek - Deep Space Nine episode "In The Cards".

Well worth getting from the video library, even if you're not a fan. A beautifully crafted observation on helping your fellow man (or alien, as the case may be).
