Questions, questions

From Facebook:
1. If we woke up in prison together, what would you say to me, using exactly four words?
2. Which famous person do I look like?

From University Challenge:
3. Can you do simple sums in binary? (They couldn't!)

From Saki:
4. What did the Caspian see?

From Blake:
5. And did those feet in ancient time, Walk upon England's mountains green?

Could it be Istanbul (not Constantinople), which has a very catchy tune which I now can't get out of my head. (Grr! But at least it's better than the Dogtanian theme tune which was plaguing me yesterday.) I know it's on Youtube, since I found it last year, but I can't give a link at the moment, since I'm at work.

I am barely aware of Dogtanian (although I did - briefly - see yesterday's discussion). I must have been doing something else when it was on tele.

I was thoroughly scarred when I read the real version and discovered that Juliet was the wife of D'Artagnion's landlord, and they had known each other about five minutes... I kept thinking "Well *this* didn't happen in Muskehounds..."

I know the Three Musketeers from The Banana Splits.

That'll be it!

And thanks for the Dogtanian earworm...which links to Willy Fogg in my mind. Oh, 1980s cartoons... *sobs*

Hah. 1985. Was at Uni already, no TV.

Why did Constantinople get the works?
That's nobody's business but the Turks.


(It's nowhere near the Caspian Sea though. Black Sea - yes. Sea of Marmara - yes. Aegean Sea - yes. Caspian Sea is miles away.

There's a rhyme from the Crimea at the back of my mind, but it's refusing to come out.
