Obscure pop-culture trivia game!

Here's how it works. I ask an obscure pop-culture trivia question. You attempt to answer. You PM me as soon as you have posted a possible answer. This makes me check the thread. As soon as someone gets it right, they have the opportunity to ask one of their own. As for the questions, anything goes... movies, TV, books, music, etc. Now, note that this is OBSCURE, not IMPOSSIBLE. Don't do something that no one in the world is going to get.

That being said, let me begin with this one:

You hear the sound of a million people saying 'foop.' Then you hear the sound of a million people saying 'whop.' What just happened?

Bones, you have managed both to be wrong and scare the bejesus out of me at the same time.

Keep guessing, people.

Hint: It's from a book.

uh....huh....

Keep guessing, folks. Not yet.

Hint: It's from a very well known series of 5 books, the 3rd book in the series if memory serves me right. Could be the second though.

it's from Life, the Universe and Everything by Douglas Adams.

Hell, that was a hard find, I knew I had this book, but didn't know wich. 25 books or so later founded it.
First looked over it 'cause I have the Dutch translation. Apparently "foop" and "whop" in Dutch is "fiouw" and "wok" (it's a really bad translation, but made by someone with too much time, it's not a official one..."

Per your request (via PM, which you're SUPPOSED to send when you answer, if you read the instructions), I have another of my own...

What kind of scene can you find invariably in ALL of Stanley Kubrick's movies?

Bones: don't make me eat your soul.

Keep trying. And READ THE RULES. I'm getting no PMs whatsoever....

BTW, ONLY PM if you think you may have it right. Not if you're joking. If everyone who posts PM's, my brain explodes.

Oh, no, you can answer jokingly....

But don't PM me if it's a joking answer, otherwise my mail client and my browser will both lose the will to live, curl up in a ball, wither, and die.

Is it that there is always a scene with a monolith featured somewhere in the background?
I've heard the answer to this question before, and its pissin me off cause I can't think of it, but I put this as a guess.

KWSN, why not just subscribe to this thread so you'll know when someone posts to it instead of asking people to PM you... some people may not want to PM anyone, but still may want to play the game. Just a thought.

Good call, good call.

However... no one has gotten it right as of yet.

Please continue guessing.

Here's a hint though: There's a scene in every Kubrick film that takes place in a certain type of room.

I'll leave you to figure out which.

Continue.

Its obvious that all three of these women had ORAL sex with Gary Coleman for parts in the show. I think it was on an A&E biography special.
