Star Wars pants game quiz (part 3)

"These aren't the pants you're looking for."

Editor's note: "Charles, didn't you use this same photo last time?"
Charles: "Shush! It was a few years ago now,
so I'm hoping no-one will remember."
A silly game which I like to play from time to time is the Star Wars Pants Game. For the benefit of anyone who doesn't know what that is, you simply take a Star Wars quote and replace one random word with the word 'pants'. People then have to guess what the original quote was.

To test out your Star Wars knowledge, have a read of the following pants themed quotes, then see if you can work out what the real quote is.

1) "You were dreaming about your pants earlier, weren't you?"

...Padme to Anakin


a) Mother
b) Contract for the next movie.
c) Massacre of the tusken raiders.

Space and the Universe

May 2nd is National Space Day, so this week the Charles Fudgemuffin blog takes a lighthearted look at space.

If any astronomers have arrived here hoping for a serious discussion on space and the universe, then I'm afraid you're going to be disappointed, because all of the following memes and jokes are silly and frivolous, and definitely not meant to be taken seriously.

1) The Milky Way


To start things off, here's a rare image of the Milky Way photographed from Mars...

It's a shame the photo didn't also include a Starburst or a Galaxy, but at least it gave me a few Snickers.

Top tips (part 7)

If you're looking for daft advice of a non-serious nature, then you've come to the right place!

That's because this week the Charles Fudgemuffin blog features another round up of lighthearted top tips.

1) When ice fishing, bring an action figure of yourself to exaggerate the size of your catch.




2) Pretend to be a footballer by refusing to go into work because you've 'picked up a niggle'.




3) Tired of ironing shirts? Simply pile on the pounds and watch those creases disappear as your clothes get tighter.

Cats and dogs (part 6)

Cats and dogs make the world a better place. Following on from that logic, cats and dogs must also make a blog a better place!

So this week the Charles Fudgemuffin blog pays tribute to cats and dogs with another blog post dedicated to our furry friends.

Let's get things rolling with some canine inspired relationship advice.

1) Find someone who looks at you the way this dog looks at the barbecue...

"Would you like your steak rare or well done?"
"Yes."

Faces in things (robot edition)

My latest book, 'Ezra: The Elimination Of Suffering Robot', was recently published at Amazon for kindle.

Ezra:
The Elimination Of Suffering Robot
This is the blurb:

"The Elimination of Suffering Project have created a robot known affectionately as Ezra, with the primary objective of eliminating suffering.

However, it quickly becomes apparent that Ezra has a controversial approach to 'eliminating suffering'..."


Anyway, to promote the book, this week the Charles Fudgemuffin blog takes a robot themed look at pareidolia.

That's just a fancy way of saying that this week's blog post features photos of inanimate objects that look like robots.

1) Death robot


This speed camera looks like some sort of homicidal robot from the future.

If I saw a speed camera like this, then I certainly wouldn't risk speeding!

Inception

Inception is a movie about a dream within a dream, but dreams aren't the only things that can be found within themselves, as this week's blog post demonstrates...

1) Dogception


From dreams within a dream, to a dog within a dog.

Here's a rather cool looking dog that was born with a selfie of itself on its ear.

Apparently, if you zoom in you can find another smaller dog hidden on the ear in the selfie on the dog's ear. #NotReally

Still though, two dogs for the price of one sounds like a good deal to me.

Silly trick questions (part 2)

I've mentioned before that I'm a fan of trick questions, so here's another batch to get your brain around.

"Hmm, what could the answers be, I wonder?"
For some of them the answers are fairly obvious, but for others the solutions can be quite tricky. If you get stuck on any though, remember that they are trick questions.

Anyway, have a read of the following trick questions and see how many you can get right.

1) What five letter word does every genius pronounce wrong?



2) What is the least spoken language in the world?
