h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

My encyclopedia reminded me not all Lighthouses were on land.
There are floating versions. could this be a sixy five foot tall buoy.

gt, have a DGI +1

for "empty bottles"

No it is not a floating lighthouse.

so a sixty five foot tall buoy that snorts.

All right except it's not a bouy - it's a What-Is-It??

a sixty five foot bottle of coca cola floating in the mediterranean slowly losing itws fizz.

A sixty five foot tall clock that snorts once an hour so mariners can set their timepieces.

A sixty five foot oriam used by the Muslim to call them to prayer.

Nope.

Not a clock.

now I wait
{aside}leaving the game in forty five minutes}

what is an "oriam"?

it is five letters in your ttle clue. I am surprised you didn't see that

Oh yeah. in the bedlam - I didn't recognise it. I must be going Strange in my old age...


but you are sooooooo close..

speaking of Coke bottles reminds me of the movie "The Gods Must Be Crazy" where a man travels on foot to the end of the world to throw the offending bottle off the edge.
We have been to the end of the world and back and still haven't gotten this sound out of our head.
It may take a couple days before I quit hearing it.

So marks out of 10 for the first ever "sound clue QI"

1 Make it stop.

5 we liked it better when you were wordy.

10 This has been fun, let's do it again....

I don't know what course others may follow, but as for me and my household -Make it stop!!!!

So, where are the other members of QI? We haven't heard from them lately.

I promise it will end soon. Just tell me the answer.

I'm also fairly convinced, when I call this closed and I put up the links to the videos so you can see *and* hear what it is you'll not now believe it is real and think I've doctored the footage in some way to make you endure the agony.

I think we may have scared them away.
