Always good for a pub quiz:

Who was the Astronaut that didn't land on the moon with Apollo 11?

Considering it's one of the biggest events in human history, very few people seem to know this.

I stand corrected, squire. I thought it was 3, but beer probably happened when the answers were read out

Slightly (completely) off-topic but my book which I don't think I'll ever start, let alone finish, will start with the line "A beer happened."

BTW have you read his book - 'Carrying the Fire' - one of the best books I've ever read.

There are 3 things- a chicken, chicken food, and a fox. All have to go over the bridge but they can't go all at once only one by one. if the chicken is with the the chicken food the chicken will eat it. if the fox is with the chicken the fox will eat the chicken. How do you do it?

They all landed on the moon, but Michael Collins was left to tidy up the lander while Aldrin and Armstrong went out for a stroll.

Transporter. Failing that, kill them first and carry them over.

Still OT; 'tis an excellent phrase. Used most regularly in my youth when trying to explain the unexplainable events of the night before with mates

Who were the first ever winners of the World Cup?

West Auckland in 1909 when it was clubs and not countries.

I have and I agree with you. It's an amazing book, as are many of the Apollo astronaut's autobiographies.

Carrying the Fire is my favourite so far though.

Gene Kranz's Book is also very good if you get a chance to read it.
