General Knowledge quiz II

[Olav]

Yeah, it's indeed the skin.

I was a bit confused at first by Wiki though. It states that "It is the largest organ of the integumentary system..." where "The integumentary system is the largest organ system".

I don't know it. But I do know that Perfection guessed the skin before you.

Where do the demons dwell, the banshees live, and the children dance to the Pipes of Pan?

What just happened before this picture, and how did this tradition get created?

 

[Olav]

Is that frozen rats?

 

[Love]

Guess fans threw them in. Perhaps it was created when they thought rats had the resemblance of the ref?

 

[jeps]

fans DID throw them in, but it has nothing to do with refs. something in the game JUST happened for the rats to be on the ice.

hint: fans of a certain team. (and NOT the Albany River Rats)

2nd hint: look at what the guy cleaning the rink is wearing and that will point you in a certain direction.

 

[Snerk]

I wonder what the job title is for the guy cleanin up. Rat boy?

 

[Atticus]

I wonder how the fans captured and stored the rats.

 

[jeps]

I wonder how the fans captured and stored the rats.

by this point (not the first time), the rink of the home team (not pictured) sold plastic rats.

It was the Florida Panther's opening season, which I think was 1995-96. I believe a rat was in the Panthers' locker room and a player killed it by a one timer shot. When people found out about it two days later, they threw in plastic rats onto the rink to celebrate a goal.

good job! not their opening season, but the season of their stanley cup finals berth, when they got swept by the avalanche. Scott Mellanby killed a rat in the locker room with his stick, and over the season, they spent (team estimate) $55,000 over the course of the season in plastic rats.

this picture is from the eastern conference finals against the Pittsburgh Penguins, when a member of the "Rat Pack" scored a goal, causing the fans to launch the rats on the ice. One last interesting fact: UNOFFICIAL plastic rats were banned and had to be snuck in under layers of clothing. and official ones were very expensive. so lots of people smuggled rats.

and the hint was that the guy who works in an ice rink was wearing short sleeves because the florida rink is known for being hot, in fact over the first few seasons numerous games were delayed to get the ice to re-freeze.

When aliens do archeological investigations on earth millions years from now, they're gonna be puzzled with all the plastic rats they'll find. Maybe they will think rat was our holy animal.
