Re: Trivia Question of the Day
That would be Poseidon in Greek, the fellow with the trident, so I suppose his Roman equivalent would be Neptune.

All the gas giants plus Earth, although on the latter planet the rings are usually found on fingers, not in orbit.

Edinburgh : -3.188267
Cardiff : -3.179090
If you look at a map it's reasonably clear, but instinctively most people would say it's 'obvious' that Cardiff is further west. The answer is Edinburgh.

Close but a Colles fracture is a broken wrist. This is a fracture at the base of the thumb.

Re: Trivia Question of the Day
Is that the scaphoid?
Re: Trivia Question of the Day
I don't know, but obviously, neither did the army doctor who failed to recognise mine. Healed crooked and still gives me trouble 50+ years later.

the one they use over here is Reno (in Nevada) and Los Angeles.Capetonian wrote: ↑Sun Feb 23, 2020 5:56 pmEdinburgh : -3.188267

Re: Trivia Question of the Day
Not the scaphoid but close, apparently this is the most common form of broken thumb and is named after someone.

Re: Trivia Question of the Day
To save this thread stalling I will give it to Lars who was closest with the scaphoid bone.
I always remember the name of this fracture by thinking of Gordon Bennett; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bennett%27s_fracture

Re: Trivia Question of the Day
Thank you Mrs Ex A. I genuinely believed it to be the scaphoid having broken mine a few times and being told, I think, it was the most common fracture.
