CJ sent me to read the rules on Wikipedia last night. So I pretended to do so. So does that mean I was one of the stupids or he was? I still don't get the humour in it though
Isn't it just equivalent to spouting a load of nonsense? Oh hang on, it's just another ordinary thread then....

I'd heard the rumour she enjoys the delights of Humph's horn

It is exactly equivalent to a load of nonsense - if you want to spoil their fun, just shout "mornington crescent" and the tedium stops. I reckon it's one of the weaker parts of I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue; compared with say "one song to the tune of another" there is little wit actually involved, and the in-joke isn't very funny if everyone knows it's an in-joke.
I've been giggling myself silly reading the Uxbridge Dictionary Definitions
