Sad, Mad or Bad? - I always wanted to be a dino, but alas, I'm just old. Started conversation Apr 1, 2001
I've been wanting to send 'The Post' an article to promote my new venture: 'Word Gymnastics', but I thought it would make a more rounded out and interesting article if it were about lots of quiz sites on h2g2, so I was thinking that if you didn't mind, I might say something about the Paperless Paperchase as well.
I'll probably mention my two, H2IQ and the Paperless Paperchase, as long as you and Greebo are OK with the idea. (And if you know of any quiz sites I've missed out, I'd love to know about them).
So what I wanted to know was... would that be OK with you?

Sir, I should feel honoured.
As for other quizzes, I don't know. There's the Haiku challenge, but despite the name it's not reallya competition. Also there are several "just for fun" games, mostly based on "Whose Line is it Anyway" or "I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue", two programmes whose scoring systems leave something to be desired.

Do you happen to know where they are?
And I was going to include the Haiku Challenge; it's more of a 'brain stretcher' article than 'competition', and since the Haiku Challenge is my creation, well

Peet (the Pedantic Punctuation Policeman, Muse of Lateral Programming Ideas and Zaphodista)(http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/U38364) used to have games of Cheddar Gorge on his page, but they've disappeared. It turns our that our mutual friend Orcus is responsible for the Whose Line? stuff, currently at http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/A518168.

Thank you!
I remembered Who's line is it anyway was SOMEONE I knew, but RL has been uh... well... awfully busy, so I haven't had time to follow up on this any more yet; but I DO appreciate your help!
Thank you!
