Can't whale them as they are very different breeds.  Now hush so I can post the next one.  My computer is having a feckin seizure!

they're not different breeds as that would suggest that they were both breeds. springer spaniel is not a breed and is a clear fail

any chance of a response on yet another ridic decision?

go on, go on, go on, go on

Dude...give it up.

yeah, you're right. I shouldn't object to incorrectly marked questions. how stupid of me. so I'll just assume that all those wrong answers are right. standard

[FuglyBaz]

How is Muhammed Ali a fail?? He had to give up his world title for 3 years because he was locked up as he refused to fight in the US Army during the Vietnam conflict!!! I'm gonna search for this on wiki now, but I defo remember reading about this when I did boxing history as a study in primary school as part of a project

[matt674]

sigh, wish i'd never had said anything now

apologies to everyone taking part

love you too claire



<-------- disqualifies self from next rsq

That's like "sorry but it was only a small moat and now I have been caaught I will pay the money back" Doesn't wash.......... A proper man would have thanked Laxie and accepted he was going to get a fail and live with it.

bit like pakistan and aubergine

Your saving grace is that you obv didn't google

never have, never will - hence why i've never won yet

From Wikipedia:

In 1967, Ali refused to be inducted into the U.S. military based on his religious beliefs and opposition to the war in Vietnam. He was arrested and found guilty on draft evasion charges, stripped of his boxing title, and his boxing license was suspended. He was not imprisoned but did not fight again for nearly four years while his appeal worked its way up to the U.S. Supreme Court.

http://wiki.answers.com/Q/How_long_was_Muhammad_Ali's_prison_sentence

know nothing about him (apart from the fact that he was a boxer and the greatest obv), but was this during the time he was famous?

[Josedinho]

Object John the Baptist - proof please

[ItsMrAlex2u]

OBJECTION - I'd like to object against all fails on the grounds that people weren't given the special pm that let them have another go.

GBS was jailed in 1884 for being a member of the fabian society -- i did not google - I will now

john the baptist was not sent to prison. yes he was imprisoned but it was at machaerus which is a palace in jordan, very definitely not a prison

To confirm my objection. I even put in my answer WHY he went to jail so you could look it up.

heres the first article that came up on google which confirms he went to prison, although he served 4 years of a prison sentence, not 3 as I had thought.

http://uk.askmen.com/celebs/men/sports/32_muhammad_ali.html - the paragraph you need to look for is this:-

"In May 1967, the World Boxing Association took away his boxing license and his title, and he was sentenced to 5 years in prison for violating the Selective Service Act. Finally released from prison on appeal, Ali returned to where he belonged: the boxing ring. There, he fought and defeated Jerry Quarry in 1970, but lost to Joe Frazier (the champion at the time) in 1971, after getting back his license. This would mark Ali's first defeat as a professional boxer."

Thank you very much
