Ok quiz humour break..
If you're in a bar and you turn to another bloke and say " Im a funguy" what two things are you?
Hmm, I'm no good at these trick questions, but I'll say a fag and a mushroom.
Name the island that the country of Haiti is part of. Name the other country on the island.

Well, I guess that is close enough. The correct spelling is Hispaniola.Quote:

What are we looking at in this picture?
How about Greenland? I had to verify it was a country, but that's all.Quote:

OK, that's close enough. It starts with the letter A and had 4 syllables. It's Annapurna actually, tenth highest in the world. I just figured you'd know it Scrap, being a climber.Quote:

right, see my previous post
Sorry mate I didnt Antartica was the answer to the previous question, Annapurna there are four peaks from memory the range is2 6000 at the 1st to 23000 they are the first big ones you come to.
Depens when you tackle it certain times in the year it Avalanches a lot its not to difficult, but a lot of weak partys attempt it.
I believe it's your turn to ask a question mate.Quote:

OK, I did a little research, I would never have guessed your lake. So I won't mention the name yet. What's your source by the way?
Hmmm, we might have a disagreement here. My sources say Lake Baikal in Siberia has more water, about 4,500,000 cubic metres more than yours.
List of lakes by volume - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Largest Lake in the World - Largest in the United States - GEOLOGY.COM
National Geograthic program I watched the secret is its depth as I remember, got that wrong ;D
:cool: Well, we learned something about lakes this question anway. Tanganyika still has more water than Superior.
OK new question.
This man was nominated before his death, but is the only person to actually win the Nobel Peace Prize posthumously.
Love this thread :cool:
Probably not the right answer, but my guess would be Yitzhak Rabin? At least he was assasinated not that long after winning the prize, if memory serves me right (but it was probably after though).Quote:

Most likely it wont be much of a hint to anyone, but as a bonus info I can say that the American embassy here in Copenhagen is located on a major street named after him (not far from where I live btw). Also, the person is one of only two people from Scandinavia to receive the accolade post-WWII.
Well, actually it was the Mongols (Genghis died and his son continued to expand the Empire) .... but I'd give you your answer.Quote:
