Was reading on Internet Movie Database Inc. some of the Trivia sections on my favourite movies and thought we need a Trivia quiz here.
So I will start off with:-
Who played The Green Cross Code Man on UK tv, but also had a Dark Side?
If you are sure your right, post answer, then a new question, or prehaps post a clue!
It was of course David Prowse who also played Darth Vader.
Where is Bron-yr-aur and why is it famous?
Bron-Yr-Aur is located in South Snowdonia, Wales. It is the small cottage where Led Zeppelin recorded their third album. Jimmy Page and Robert Plant also returned there in 1994 for their MTV reunion No Quarter: Jimmy Page and Robert Plant unledded. it's also the name of a zepplin track so thats why it would be famous.
what is refraction?
Hmmm... if I remember correctly, a light beam refracts as it passes through a solid and goes off at a tangent, not unlike me at times. This angle is the angle of refraction. Light can also be reflected, but that just means it bounces off.
or something like that.
what happened to the first dog to be fitted with contact lenses?
If you mean the first Spanish dog, it was killed the next day when it crossed the road. 😞

What is Can Mas Deu?
Can Masdeu is a short documentary film about a social center house on the outskirts of Barcelona, Spain. It functions as a social center for its surrounding neighborhood of Canyelles and as the center for preservation of the Valley d'Sant Genis. Can Masdeu is fully supported and embraced by its neighbors, however, it is a squat house. This film documents the day the National police attempted to expel its occupants.
is that the one you're thinking of?

Yes, sort of. Can Mas Deu (spelt both ways) is the name of an ex-leper colony treatment house in the foothills of Barcelona. Having been empty and deteriorating for years, it was squatted by some really cool people who have turned it into a fantastic community resource - hence the support from local residents. I'll be whizzing to see them all from this Thursday for a week. 😎
