"why the long face George"?:confused:
Its in France but forgot the name :rolleyes:
Nah, the only one in France that comes close to qualifying is Monaco, of which Monte Carlo is a part. But Monaco is on the Mediterranean, so it is not completely surrounded by France.Quote:

San Remo Italy,
hmmm.....
Malta is an Island nation in the Mediterranean. It is south of Sicily. You are getting rather warm, though I don't know about right next to the Vatican.
Just to revisit, we are looking for the name of a landlocked European country that is completely within another country, and it is not the Vatican.
Here is an interesting little tidbit that I did not know. This country was founded in 301 AD, making it the world's oldest sovereign state, or at least the world's oldest republic. Another point of interest is that until 1463, its land area consisted of a single mountain.
Scrap and Armin are getting warm. Not San Remo
CGM I wasn't talking about matla, I was talking about the sovereign military order of malta which is basically like a building in rome that under international law is considered sovereign.
Hmm, interesting. It's not what I was thinking of. A quick look see says maybe it qualifies, it has some aspects of sovereignty under International law, but it's Wiki article says it does not exist as a state, although it does have something called "obderver status" at the united nations. It is not clear to me that it is just a building, but anyways it's not the answer I wanted.
Lol heck I don't know if its just a building but that's what I imagine in my head when I think of microstates like the vatican...if that's not it, then nothing pops to mind right now.Good tough question tho

The Constitution of San Marino, enacted in 1600, is the world's oldest constitution still in effect.[1]
Shame its not San Remo Ive got a great Story to tell about Boxing there.:-X
If the Sovereign thingy of malta was the answer, surely we would have had to accept every single counties international embassies around the world as they are all sovereign territory and they would be completely encircled by another country?
Apart from Iraq and Afghanistan's embassies which are our territory ;)
I know that wasn't the answer, but I thought I'd make the point anyway.
Question someone
What's the heaviest living insect on the planet?
Is it the Centipede found in the Amazon.
Nope
Dung Beatle
Loved there music ;D
No.
What did the centipede sing to his girlfriend?
I Wanna Hold Your Hand Hand Hand Hand Hand
(He wouldn't have had this girlfriend if she was the heaviest insect on the planet. The fat bitch.)
Thats really putting her foot down
Some kind of Australian cockroach no doubt. ;)Quote:

Give us a clue
It is a beetle. It has a name that you would find in the Bible.

Jesus!!! :o
Looks like a Dung Beetle to me, Live off Elephant Shit.
No, its much bigger than a dung beetle ..... though it lives in Africa too (but in the Congo jungle rather than the savannah)
This is the dung beetle. The head and thorax are different, and the legs are shorter on the dung beetle.

Interestingly, I've since found out that the two are related, Scrap, so you're not far off. The one I am thinking of has a specific species name though.
And no - it's not the "Jesus, what the fuck is that?. Havya seen the size of it" Beetle.
Shall I just post the answer?
I've heard of this guy, but I don't remember the name. If it was my question, I'd let it sit for a while longer. You gave a good hint. But it's up to you.
Scarab beetle?Quote:
