Today’s Questions
Question 1
What’s some more words we can make outta N, A, R, T, H, E, an’ X? Let’s see ...
Oh, what about arhat? That’s a good one.
Do ya know what an arhat is? It’s a word from Buddhism, an’ it means a fella or a lady who’s achieved nirvana, thereby transcendin’ the endless cycle a’ death ’n’ rebirth. Pretty neato, right?
What’s the name for that endless cycle a’ death ’n’ rebirth?
It’s a Sanskrit word that literally means somethin’ along the lines a’ “wandering through”.
Question 2
Didja know Peter Gabriel’s first four solo albums are all self-titled? But I guess fans’ll refer to ’em by the images on their album arts, i.e., Car, Scratch, Melt, ’n’ Security. That’s a kinda fun fact, right?1
Anyway, there’s a single from the third self-titled Peter Gabriel albums (i.e., Melt) that’s named after, and is a eulogy for, what South African anti-apartheid activist who was brutally killed by police in 1977?
OK then
Byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Seems like the sorta thing that might come up at pub trivia, or, like, durin’ a round a’ Only Connect.
