Question of the day

[Navcorr]

Like rilly? The uni of Life? That is like soooo lame.

What would be called a "cop-out" when I was a teenage girl
Apparently we can all be everything these days. Gender fluidity - what's that all about!

I thought it was fairly well-known where he was born, at least.....

 

[spkennyuk]

I thought he was French but i have little knowledge of the chap in question.

 

[MarkMas]

Ok, well, while we wait for an expert on French philosophers to come along, let's have another one in parallel.

What two names come next in this list:
Larry, Sam, Vernon, Neil, Rodney, ..... , .......

Is it music question Markmas ?

Getting there!

I had to look up who Bonzo Dog are. I think the only song i recognise is the monster mash. Slightly before my time so im out on this one.

It doesnt look like your going to get anymore of an answer Markmas.

Saw Neil Innes in Bournemouth at a gig, a very funny man. Wrote half the monty python songs.

Albert Camus, if not Manchester poly it's Salford Tech

A French colony perhaps?

 

[spkennyuk]

Its looking like two questions of the week. Anyone want to jump in with a less absurdist question until Markmas comes back.

Quick fire questions until Markmas reveals.

 

[daverichardson]

A, B, C, D and U are types of what?

Exam results?

 

[midlifecrisis]

Some sort of grading... But what?

YES! Thank you. I guess you do deserve the next question.
I'm just going to give the answer, since people seem not to like this one. Albert Camus was (famously) born in French Algeria, and (slightly less famously) studied for his undergraduate degree and his doctorate at the University of Algiers.
