I think that was the record for the lowest temperature ever with a ridiculous and obscene −89.2 °C (−128.6 °F)?

Re: 80's TRIVIA CHALLENGE
 

And you would be thinking correctly! :arms: Nicely done. I can't imagine it ever getting that cold! LOL

Re: 80's TRIVIA CHALLENGE

What were the names of the four ghosts from Pac-Man? I'm looking for the American version but bonus points for any other foreign version. :)

Re: 80's TRIVIA CHALLENGE
 

The names of those ghosts were Bashful, Speedy, Shadow and Pokey, usually referred to as Inky, Pinky, Blinky and Clyde.

Of course, in Japan they are known by their original Puck Man names: 青はアオスケ (Inky), ピンク色はピンキー (Pinky), オレンジはグズタ (Blinky) and 赤はアカベイ(Clyde), and just as obviously the Danes would refer to Turkis, Lyserød, Rød and Orange.
In Poland on the other hand, it wasn't as simple as that: they were chased around by Błękitnego, Różowego, Czerwonego and Pomarańczowego, which makes you wonder if they still had time to play after pronouncing those names. The French, normally not afraid to translate anything in their own language, just kept the names Inky, Pinky, Blinky and Clyde, but I'm sure they managed to make it sound as if it was French after all http://www.smileyhut.com/hoosierdue/PacMan.gif

What self-declared Genius, also a Honorary British Knight (Grand Cross of the Bath), holder of the French Légion d'honneur and recipient of the Danish Order of the Elephant was executed in the late eighties together with his wife, after a hasty process? If you wish, you can find videos of the execution on the web....

Re: 80's TRIVIA CHALLENGE
 

Would that be Nicolae Ceauşescu? I found the videos but don't know how to place them.

Re: 80's TRIVIA CHALLENGE
 

You're correct :biggrin:; the videos were just a macabre detail...

Your turn :jossun:
