How many wings does a B-wing have?

well done 😄

aint it 1 ?

3:

my bad for some reason i thought it had only 1 long wing 😖

any more thoughts on the most filmed storys ?

Some more movie stuff:

How did Bullet-Tooth Tony got his particular nick-name?

(still talking to buddha about your Q)

he was shot a few times like 3 i think 😖

and he had the bullets molded into teeth

Very close again! He was shot 6 times, including one shot trough the jaw. He indeed had the 3 missing teeth after that event replaced by the bullets pulled out of his body. I must concider this another score, good job.

Books: who is Leland Gaunt?

opens the Needful things curiosity shop in Needful things by Stephen King lucky that i ain't really big on book but i like stephen king lol

Impressive! I'm a big King fan myself, read most of his books, he's amazing.
I do have to fill in a IOU on the most filmed stories for now, cause I really have run out of clues. I might feel more enlightened tomorrow.
So on with the other stuff for now if you don't mind.

What was the Enigma-device?

AHH this is a GREAT little word puzzle

u have a quote of mixed up letters and u have to swap the letters to try and make sense of the quote. right?

That is the idea, it even includes numbers and symbols to be traded for letters in order to get the quote. Do you know who thought it up, and for what reason?

i believe it was based on something the germans made up to encode messages in world war 2.

not sure bout that though.

i have to go now if u get the answer to my question pm me so then i dont have to search through here to see if u got it right 😛 im quite lazy ✅

Right you are, and understating at it! The Germans used the enigma-device for over 4 years to exchange secret messages, with tremendous success. The messages were literally undecipherable by others.
The trick is a shifting pattern of exchanging letters/numbers/symbols replacing letters in a message at random order. The sequence was altered every few days, and the new code was transmitted in a binary code (relatively new for that time and since it's actually quite simple, it opens up to lots of ways of interpretation, increasing the chance to be mis-interpretend!).
The allies were aware of a communication like this between the enemy troops, but nobody could crack the code, and they did fill buildings with mathematical geniuses to decipher the code 24/7. It took a daring raid on a german U-boat to capture a Enigma-decoder, making them able to understand the ongoing transmissions.
Sadly, the Enigma-device made a large amount of bloody battles turn in the favour of the bad-guys in between that time...

There must be many more interesting and/or wierd questions lingering in your minds, bring em on people!!

sorry i cant think of anymore ATM

BTW i gonna give the answer to my most filmed question.

1. Dracula
2. Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde
3. Oliver Twist

Wow! I did got number one right, but I did not expect those anwsers on 2 & 3! Thanks for the info.

More on music:

Who 'discovered' Jimi Hendrix as a ground-breaking artist and got him a big start on his career? And for the bonus-prize; in who's band was Hendrix before that?

Animals bassist Chas Chandler.
the Jimi Hendrix Experience.

whats the difference between Hair and Fur ?

Chandler might have intoduced him to more public performances, but he didn't pull Jimi out of the shadows and into the spotlights!
And The Experience was Jimi's band after that, who's band was he in before?

for your Q in the meanwhile, I think the answer is: hair-bags (is that correct?) spawn mostly one hair, while fur grows multiple hairs out of one bag. Fur is also used to describe near-to-full body covering hair, while 'hair' covers only certain parts of a body.
