You should know 6, you really should...but then there've been any number of arts, music and architecture questions I've failed at miserably!

Waaaaah but I majored in Buddhism!

Well see I am guessing Genesis but the only couple I can think of of course featuring in that are Adam and Eve but I am sure there were lists somewhere so going for them seems a bit obvious...

Nuts I just realised White is so so wrong. It wasn't Colonel White it was Colonel Mustard. Which leaves me all buh.

AM SO DUMB.

Obvious is not always wrong...

[deililly.livejournal.com]

Ahahahahahaha! I crack myself up I really do.

[unblinkered.livejournal.com]

There there....

Mustard.... as in Mean Mister? Abbey Road was '69 though I'm sure. '67 was the year of Sgt. Pepper.

Does this mean the link is sandwich condiments? o.O

[f4f3.livejournal.com]

I think I need a little more than that...

[deililly.livejournal.com]

Salt, Pepper and Mustard? I am guessing and I have no idea what else to say about them!

[f4f3.livejournal.com]

Completely right, even if by accident :)

Cue the Chariots of Fire Music

I think that might be enough for me. Any more would be showing off :P

(and I want to read everyone else's answers so I can do that 'I KNEW I knew that one' thing now)

You're on the right track...

[psychochicken.livejournal.com]

I'm afraid I started singing Mean Mister Mustard in my head, segued straight into Polythene Pam and ended up internally playing the whole of Abbey Road side two. This is why I'm no good at quizzes.

[f4f3.livejournal.com]

Well, you were on SOME tracks anyway...
