@pgn *klaxon * for fortnighly; @jonsie *klaxon* for monthly; @Glory1 * credit* [for honesty, admitting forgot]; @Cleoriff [despite having a "senior moment"
] knew it should be weekly.
The Thursday Quiz was going to include a question about elephants but, having heard the sad news of the passing of Hope`s sister, thought it would be inappropriate to post such a question, and therefore cancelled it for this week.
The Thursday Quiz will return on 23 May, with three questions [not on elephants] posted on Wed 22 May.
The Quiz will include a photo of the horizon; a question on birds; and a question on an invention.

Have you invented a way to keep the horizon level when you're riding on an elephant with three birds?
(No elephants would be harmed, of course, which is more than I can say for the birds... )
