I believe the palace you're talking about would be in Cordoba but to the actual name of it no clue.

Not Cordoba. But the actual city does have the same number of syllables, if that helps.Quote:

nah. I'm thinking most people have heard the name, but they might not associate it with a 16th century Moorish palace in Spain.Quote:

Near
Greenland? If that's not it I'll let someone else take a shot
Correct, 3/8 billion years old thats old, thats older than my Dad ;D
Well, that was just a bit lucky. I must have heard of that somewhere, or lese i wouldn't have just guessed it.
Next question.
Iceland is actually known as the world leader in which "green" technology?
either air or water
Yes but you need to be a little more specific to get credit.Quote:

OK, well it's more about water I guess. Iceland is a world leader in the use of geothermal energy. They have enormous underground quantities of very hot water, and over 25% of the country's electrecity is generated from the energy this hot water puts out.
Geothermal Resources in Iceland
I knew that but couldnt spell it ;D
Well haven't been in here in awhile and seems to be no question at the moment so I guess I'll post one. In what year did Germany become a unified country, and I'm not talking about reunification in 1990.
Something like 1870? I think the Chancellor of Prussia (Bismarck) went to war with France and then mopped up the remaining German states about them?
You're basically right except you're off by one year, 1871, and yes going to war with france was part of it as well as some other places...you know your geography as well as history,lol
