If all moops are wangs, some wangs are wands and all wands are moors, then are moors definitely not moops?

[–]pleasedammit 29 points30 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

No, it's entirely possible that some of the moors are in fact also wangs (some of which are also wands) which in turn happen to be moops.

The red army used Mongolians, Tatars and Siberians as their front grunts. They were hard, un-educated brutes used to harsh conditions and weather (back then) and were thought to be excellent cannon fodder instead of ethnic Russians -racism has always been rather big in Russia. These Eastern storm troopers were greatly feared and hated where ever they arrived in Eastern Europe and millions of Germans fled west to surrender to the British/Americans since rumours of random executions and rapes by the Russians were plenty.

I want to play too.

From Goblet of Fire, chapter "The Weighing of the Wands", "wand" replaced with "wang" as before:

“Ah, now, this is one of mine, isn’t it?” said Mr. Ollivander, with much more enthusiasm, as Cedric handed over his wang [...] pleasantly springy. It’s in fine condition. … You treat it regularly?” “Polished it last night,” said Cedric, grinning.

Another one, immediately following on the page:

Harry looked down at his own wang. He could see finger marks all over it. He gathered a fistful of robe from his knee and tried to rub it clean surreptitiously. Several gold sparks shot out of the end of it. Fleur Delacour gave him a very patronizing look, and he desisted.

Harry took the wang. He felt a sudden warmth in his fingers. He raised the wang above his head, brought it swishing down through the dusty air and a stream of red and gold sparks shot from the end like a firework, throwing dancing spots of light on to the walls

[–]Naeddyr 138 points139 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Why the fuck would Harry's wand boost his popularity with the girls? That is such a shoddy double-entendre that it's basically a one-and-a-half entendre, or maybe one-and-one-third entendre. I first read it as "X feet long", and it made much more sense then because the answer would have been his broomstick and/or X-feet penis.

[–]froderick 49 points50 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

This was my thinking too. No one else really knew how his wand was connected to Voldemorts wand. And every witch and wizard, no matter how incompetent, had a wand. Having a wand wouldn't have been impressive, it would've been expected.

Only other thing he had which would've gained him notoriety amongst the student body that could be measured in terms of inches would be either of the racing brooms he was gifted. However, each of them would've been well over 11 inches in length.

[–]stellarfury 38 points39 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Could also be his scar, but likewise, that's only two inches or so. Also the brooms and the scar brought him notoriety with everyone, not just girls. The question writers had to have been desperately reaching for a dick joke.

[–]sexlexia_survivor 12 points13 points ago

Or his scar, which was well under 11 inches.

Both are better answers than his wand. The wand was only curious to Olivander and Voldemort. No one else (including Harry for the most part) gave a shit about his wand. Ugh.

[–]FantomEx 1 point2 points ago

No it wouldn't have been the broomstick, it's been banned from stores for a few years now due to its popularity with the girls...

[–]scottperezfox 31 points32 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Terrible question. That's not at all why Harry was popular with girls. It's mainly to do with his being tall, and being the Captain of Quidditch team. I guess the whole "Chosen One" thing helped out. But not his wand. Everyone has a wand.

And I could has sworn his wand was only 10.5 inches.

[–]stellarfury 12 points13 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

No, it's Lily's whose wand was 10.5. But the scene where Ollivander is describing the wands in the first book has a lot of measurements and descriptions of wands right next to each other so the confusion is understandable.

Point of interest, he actually wasn't tall. In fact, he was always rather short for his age, probably because he was undernourished as a child. Not that it's terribly important, especially given the whole tragic/famous/rich thing he had going

Pssh, that's a dumb answer. Having a wand at Hogwarts wouldn't make you any more popular than having shoes would, everyone has a wand!

This may get buried, but my favorite TP question that I came across was:

When asked whether he liked grass or AstroTurf better, what NFL Quarterback responded: "I don't know, I've never smoked AstroTurf"

Yeah, seriously. Trivial information like that has no place in this game.

Yep. Trivial information has no place in Trivial* Pursuit. For shame!

Nah, the best one is this one, from my parents' game (poorly translated from french) :

If you're anywhere near france, it's in the Genius Edition, circa 1985, i'll try to get you the actual year if your interested.

One of my proudest moments(sadly) was proving the Trivial Pursuit Millennium Edition wrong. I was playing the game with my girlfriend at the time and her family. The question was, basically, "What was the first 64-bit video game console to be released in the United States?'.

My answer: Atari Jaguar. The back of the card said: Nintendo 64.

I had to make a huge deal about it, because my girlfriend tried to argue that it was against the rules to use the internet to show them I was right. I finally got my way, and got the final slice to the pie. My team won. I brought it up many times over the course of our relationship. I am a loser.

[–]aymcky 6 points7 points ago

Is it bad that I read this, completely disregarded the penis implication, and went straight to a shiny-eyed, fangirl-induced, "The elder wand?"

[–]youremomsoriginal 13 points14 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I prefer to call it "The death stick."

Makes sexual innuendos so much easier. Also the elder wand would probably have trouble staying hard.

Do porcupines masturbate? - yes

[–]tbrassf2 2 points3 points ago

The best question I have ever seen was:

"Do beavers eat fish?"

We were attempting to answer questions freestyle, and everyone, as predicted had a low success rate. Then this ridiculous yes/no questions come up.

I stole that card and still have it at home.

I don't trust Trivial Pursuit ever since it tried to tell me that crocodiles kill more people in Africa every year than any other animal. Fuck you, Trivial Pursuit. You owe me a goddamned pie piece.

While all of Reddit speculates about the question,
There is - no one - that bothers to mention
That instead of his dong,
It could be his bong,
Because 11 inches could keep the party going strong.
