I made this 1 today for a cheap laugh, based on what Stephen Fry does on the quiz show QI for an answer that's too obvious, it's coming in handy on the message boards... Any argument works after the ?, like popex.com/cgi-bin/obvious?106, popex.com/cgi-bin/obvious?godfather, etc, with a limit of 10 characters.

  1. Gone now, it was a dynamic picture of Stephen Fry that you could use to show him holding up a card with an obvious answer on it. Was it really what happened in earlier episodes of QI? Or did it always flash up on the screen behind him? Anyway the image was hosted on popex.com and is gone now. It was http://www.popex.com/cgi-bin/obvious?The+106
