The Regulator Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 What connects a snooker player and Harvard University? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dark Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 I'll take a guess at Harvard University was the first venue for a snooker game in the United States? This should maybe be in the 'About Forums' section but do you not think it would be better to have all of these in the Quiz section? After all thats what they are and with there being multiple threads it might make the place a bit more neat and tidy. Just a suggestion.

MikeO Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 Are we talking a specific pro snooker player or are you being all cryptc ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Regulator Posted March 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 Are we talking a specific pro snooker player or are you being all cryptc ? It is a specific pro player, but don't ponder his connection to deeply, it's quite a superficial one....if that's any clearer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian C Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 (edited) A cue? A guess seeing as "Harvard" are a make of snooker tables. Edited March 24, 2009 by Grarghsies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Regulator Posted March 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 (edited) A cue? A guess seeing as "Harvard" are a make of snooker tables. Good try, but wrong Harvard University is the place, but it's not necessarily the name more what happened with it in the past... or more importantly, what got started there....

Guest efctaxi Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 In that case , I'll hazard a guess that Harvard was the first place to issue some kind of doctorate / degree / recognition regarding snooker , or at worst , used the mind set of a snooker player in some kind of scientific study Jeez , just realised I've gone past the 1000 post mark God help anyone that read them all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Beard Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 The first nuclear experiment was conducted by a bloke called Bill Werbenuik, Steve Davis or another similar name to a snooker player or the first upside downs specs were introduced a la Dennis Taylor :axehead: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmy the blue Posted April 5, 2009 Report Share Posted April 5, 2009 Thanks for doing the job Reg!

Radcliffe is the name of the largest college at Harvard.......................am I right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
