Basically a very big brick dropped in a largish bathtub.

What In The World Happened Here? XXI:

The title gives it away, but definitely food for thought.

My "8.3" was the earthquake that caused the rockfall that caused the tsunami. The current quiz loads so slowly on my smartphone in a poor reception atea that... I will see you tomorrow. Thanks for the fun.

What In The World Happened Here? XXII:

Time for a new one. Clue: Third time's the charm.

looks like a church in a city with American cars and green deciduous trees in spring or summer.

steeple looks odd

It is an (North) American city. The oddness of the steeple is a matter of a pinion.

pinions as in clocks and telescopes.Yes?
pinons as in nuts. No.

None of the above, nor an ice axe. We have discussed pinions on the board, though.

Perhaps Muster Mark could tell us.

Ducks go "Quark Quark Quark". But the literary reference is good.

Joyce is meant to be read outloud and even then it is (barely) understandable.

is this a Fermidable quiz?

Boy, I was off on the wrong track. On the other hand, what does this mean:

First there were up, down, and strange, so fourth times the charm.

No Physics involved, though there is a Nobel in this field.

Not one of these guys (neither of whom is a laureate), and our subject was also not awarded a Nobel, for the obvious reason.



And the three times clue is a bit strange, but more in the Ezekiel 37 manner.

so now we are supposed to be biblical scholars on top of literary giants and nuclear physics brains

And your point would be . . . ?

And Ornithologists, too.

Sure wish I could decipher what you people are saying.

From the smug replies, I take it y'all have solved the church with the odd steeple mystery. So before you dive into another riddle, could someone please post a more explanatory answer so us plebians could learn a little?

Steve I am a bird brain on this one , too.

But not a raven lunatic?

Does 1757 fit in here?
