Thanks TC. It's great to be part of a successful blog incorporation. I took note of the success of quizzes 1 through 5 and have some good ideas for Quiz*6. Frankly I'm a bit jealous of some of these inventions and wish that I'd come up with them.
Here goes.
Question 1.This 1850 machine was invented in Italy by Clemente Masserano.
Was it created to:
1. Fertilise fallow fields quickly and over large areas?
2. Utilise animal power on railways?
3. Provide the rhythm and groove throughout numbers in orchestras?
Question 2.
Could it:
1. Distribute Communion hosts more efficiently?
2. Shave many men at once?
3. Wash out the mouths of swearers and blasphemers?
Question 3.
Invented by Mr J. A. Purves of Taunton and his son, the Dynasphere was designed to:
1. Provide a means of transport?
2. Correct typing errors?
3. Dry salad vegetable leaves?
Question 4.
This odd shaped device was invented in the thirteenth century.
It's primary function was to:
1. Operate as a cooling fan when churches were too hot?
2. Act as a heat reflector when churches were too cold?
3. Allow the 'faithful' to see and venerate the consecrated Host in churches?
Invented in 1955 by Russell E Oakes, this device was designed as:
1. A way to anonymously touch up passing ladies?
2. Give 'the finger' to priests, policemen and politicians?
3. Allow bellhops in hotels to ask for tips and refuse if they were too low?
Please submit your answers asap - to be received no later than Sunday evening. The winner will receive the original 'Non-slip soap gloves' that I invented. These will be a valuable collector's item as I can guarantee that these are the first ones produced and no-one, anywhere has another pair. You can read about them here: NON-SLIP SOAP

I have noticed that these quizzes are not fairly marked, so I will not be participating.
Yes, I know, now you only have the possibility of one contestant.
Maybe your goal should be to increase your readership numbers and lose the silly quizzes that no one ever seems to win.
There you go - free advice.
That’s a shocking allegation.
An audit of the results of the previous quizzes can be undertaken ( at the complainant’s cost).
This can be overseen by an independent scrutiniser - The Wine Guy is available- should you wish.
Please advise asap.

One day to go before the quiz closes.
Robert has an advantage as one of the questions favours him.
Richard can still participate if he apologises for his unfair allegation of bias in the judging.
All the other readers should get their answers in but take note that heavy internet traffic can crash the system.
Rubbish.

The prize, I’m sad to say goes to Philip Nis.
I guess that the Velcro gloves will give him a better hold on his penis (not that the wanker ever let’s go of it anyway).
Send me your address dickman.
If you're going to talk to me like that, you can stick your silly gloves up your arse.

Well I guess that concludes another successful quiz.
Stay tuned for the next one folks.
