Also they both have five Rivers.
Actually the Russian one is hard, being a Sheffield lad I found it interesting they have both got a River Don, the Russian one is bigger by about 2,000 miles ;D. The Sheffield Don 40 years ago rats couldnt live in it it was toxic, now its got Barbell and Salmon amazing ;D
Lake Ontario and Erie, of the Great Lakes, are like that. Back in the '70s they were polluted to hell, now they are not that bad, thanks to cleanup efforts and pollution controls. Just goes to show, Mother Earth can work wonders to heal herself if you give her half a chance. :)Quote:

no,really I suppose its not obvious, because everybody had been looking in the wrong places. Forgeting that the Earths on the move, it was the Geolegists that gave the clues as to where to dig. :rolleyes:
OK, while we're struggling with Scrap's question on missing links, I'll throw this one out...

I'll give you a hint. It was a very significant discovery, that even today improves and extends the lives of millions of people around the world that suffer from a particular ailment. And this ailment is not a headache, or common cold, or allergy.Quote:

Did you know it was Frederick Banting before this question?
Cool we are onto people and events.Try this dude for measure.
Born a (Serbian Никола Тесла) (10 July 1856 – 7 January 1943) was an inventor and a mechanical and electrical engineer. Born in Smiljan, Croatian Krajina, Austrian Empire, he was an ethnic Serb subject of the Austrian Empire and later became an American citizen.
This man invented ways to harness AC current much to the disgust of Edison whom he worked for at the time and who thought dc current was the way forwards.
He discovered the xrays.
invented the first wireless radio.
later he went into the outer fields of study and experiments concerning health and claimed all sorts of things concerning frequencies: upsetting many in the process and becomming known as a nutcase for his troubles by some more protective of their own fields and a living genius by many others.
nikolai tesla, kind of got fucked by history at first only lately getting the recognition due...

This world leader won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1978 and was assassinated in 1981.
What was his name and why did he win the prize?
King Hussien of Jordan?
King Hussein is not the correct answer.
Basturd :mad: ! ;D
;D The pleasure is all mine.
Yes,but Here in Australia basturd can be said up in the air or down at the ground over a situation more than at a person.
(This is what Im also going to have to explain to God one day ;D.
"Its not you, its me"
Here in Canada, when we curse at a situation, we usually say sonofabich, or cocksucker motherfucker, but never bastard. :D
