As far as I can tell, it seems it's only hitting the helmet that gives a mandatory five runs, all the others are at the umpire's discretion, but I'll give you a bonus point

(WHAT??? )

A short break now whilst I collate the results...

As is traditional, here's some music:

* * * * *

As some day it may happen that a victim must be found,
I've got a little list--I've got a little list
Of society offenders who might well be underground,
And who never would be missed--who never would be missed!
There's the pestilential nuisances who write for autographs--
All people who have flabby hands and irritating laughs--
All children who are up in dates, and floor you with 'em flat--
All persons who in shaking hands, shake hands with you like that--
And all third persons who on spoiling tÃÃâ€*’ªte-ÃÃâ€*’ -tÃÃâ€*’ªtes insist--
They'd none of 'em be missed--they'd none of 'em be missed!

CHORUS.

He's got 'em on the list--he's got 'em on the list;
And they'll none of 'em be missed--they'll none of 'em be miss'd!

There's the banjo serenader, and the others of his race,
And the piano-organist--I've got him on the list!
And the people who eat peppermint and puff it in your face,
They never would be miss'd--they never would be miss'd!
Then the idiot who praises, with enthusiastic tone,
All centuries but this, and every country but his own;
And the lady from the provinces, who dresses like a guy,
And who "doesn't think she dances, but would rather like to try";
And that singular anomaly, the lady novelist--
I don't think she'd be missed--I'm sure she'd not he missed!

CHORUS.

He's got her on the list--he's got her on the list;
And he don't think she'll be missed--he's sure she won't be miss'd!

And that Nisi Prius nuisance, who just now is rather rife,
The Judicial humorist--I've got him on the list!
All funny fellows, comic men, and clowns of private life--
They'd none of 'em be missed--they'd none of 'em be missed.
And apologetic statesmen of a compromising kind,
Such as--What d'ye call him--Thing'em-bob, and likewise--Never-mind,
And 'St--'st--'st--and What's-his-name, and also You-know-who--
The task of filling up the blanks I'd rather leave to you.
But it really doesn't matter whom you put upon the list,
For they'd none of 'em be missed--they'd none of 'em be missed!

CHORUS.

You may put 'em on the list--you may put 'em on the list;
And they'll none of 'em be missed--they'll none of 'em be missed!

Re: The Real Friday Quiz

Ok, here's the results:

1) Bifta
2) Raistlin
3) Incognitas
4) MetaWraith
5) Bifta
6) MetaWraith
7) gazzae
8) Bifta
9) Bifta
10) Angua
11) gazzae
12) Bifta
13) Bifta
14) Raistlin (bonus for gazzae)
15) MetaWraith
16) Angua
17) MetaWraith
18) MetaWraith
19) homealone
20) Bifta
21) Angua
22) Incognitas
23) homealone
24) MetaWraith
25) MetaWraith

7 - Bifta
7 - MetaWraith
3 - Angua
2 - gazzae (plus a bonus)
2 - Raistlin
2 - Incognitas
2 - homealone

We seem to have a tie for first place, and neither of them tripped a booby trap, so here's a tie break question *ONLY* for MetaWraith and Bifta - first right answer gets the winââ‚Âà ‚¬Ãƒâ€šÃ‚¦

TIE BREAK - What was the name of the stone that Jean-FranÃÃâ€*’§ois Champollion deciphered that helped discover the meanings of Egyptian Hieroglyphs?
