After my lucky guesses last week it's my turn to do the quiz again. Believe it or not this week I was chosen to appear on a tv quiz! I had to sign a confidentiality agreement so I can't say which one or when I will be filming it but I will be wearing a tortoise tie

17) Whose tombstone bears the words 'I told you I was ill'?
SPIKE MILLIGAN
18) Harold Camping is the preacher who says that 21st May 2012 will mark the 'rapture' which will herald the end of the world. But this isn't his first end of the world prediction - in what year did he originally say that the world would end?
1994
19) Which religious group predicted that the world would end in 1792?
SHAKERS
20) Old Mother Shipton made many prophecies, where can you find 'Mother Shipton's Cave'?

Good luck - you have until 9pm on Sunday to submit your answers and if the world is still here I will post the answers after that!
