Is it the letter Q followed by a number?
Isn't there an Audi Q6, the ship is the QE2, petroleum company is Q8 and Milligan had several series with the title Q then a number.

That's right, in fact there are several Audi Q cars and the QE2 was known as the Q4 before receiving its final name. Your turn ...

The only farms I know of are Animal, Jollity and Old MacDonald's. I don't suppose it's one of them is it?

From numerous viewings of the Shaun the Sheep Movie over Christmas (*) I recall that the flock took the road for Mossy Bottom to get home from the big city.

We are still finding sparkly bits in the sofa, three years after two of our granddaughters went through the "Frozen" stage!

Does it contain an error along the lines of "Thou shalt commit adultery"?

Because, like a candle, it has a wick.
Indeed it does. Edition of the King James Bible published in 1631 by Barker and Lucas, the royal printers in London. In a most unfortunate typo, the word "not" was omitted from the Seventh Commandment, making it indeed read "Thou shalt commit adultery". As many copies of the edition as possible, were rounded up and destroyed -- hence the book's rarity. The printers were subjected to a hefty fine, and had their printing licence revoked -- one suspects that in that era, they were fortunate to get off as lightly as that.
Your turn to lead the masses astray with wrongly-rendered Scripture...
I'm sure this one has subtleties which I can't discern -- please could you help? (I know they say that if a joke has to be explained, the funniness is lost

If a stick has a point it is pointed, a candle has a wick so it is wicked. Geddit?

Correct! Although there are also references to Cleveland Ohio and New York.

Coincidentally I live in a city built "Upon this Rock", I wonder what happened to the Roll.
