OK Which US city is named after a game show?
Ahh I used to watch that show all the time as a youngster. :)
Truth or Consequences, New Mexico
Well played, next question?Quote:

Bonus points if you can say which civilization this leader was from.
Hannibal, a general of carthage. The country closest to the south pole is south africa. Edit, I need to stop being so trusting of friends and their info, just double checked the south africa thing and wiki answers says its actually chile so cgm you got that one . This is good stuff since I'm done with school and don't exercise that tiny muscle much anymore,lol. Whom do the Romans trace their ancestry to mythicaly, not romus and remus but what people do they trace them to and what prince in particular.
Looks like it's your turn to ask another question, since CGM and I were on the wrong continent.Quote:

Damn I went and checked and you are right again, Argentina has the southernmost city, my friend just got back from a trip down there Ushuaia. But Chile physically extends further south.Quote:

It was big news when it happened. Anyways, the actor was Vic Morrow. They were filming a scene that involved a low flying helicopter, there was some kind of accident, and Morrow's body got in the way of the chopper blades. :-XQuote:

Great answer on Pakistan. I would like to rep you, but the computer says I must spread it around and unfortunately I can't be doing that egalitarian communist shit.
The other answer is Venezuela (he named it after Venice, where the houses were also on stilts)
interesting.Quote:

In fact Rome and Sheffield are identical in what two ways.
Both are built on seven hills (I live near Sheffield). Don't know about the rivers though.
