    Didn't Pategonia used to be populated by giants? Probably it was them

    I seem to remember some kind of story about some kind of white migrants of the 16th or 17th century, damned if I can remember what they were called though.

    The Welsh ?? (there are large areas of patagonia where Welsh is the spoken language - my cousin went to work there once)
    If God wanted us to be vegetarians, why are animals made of meat ?

    OK, while we are waiting for the answer to the Pategonian walls, here's another one.

    There are many countries in Europe whose name ends in the letter "a". But only four of those countries don't end with the letters "ia". Name them.

    If you are really feeling ambitious, you can also name all the European countries that end in "ia".

    Well, God's chosen people and all. The only reason we have a retracting roof on our rugby stadium is so that God can watch us play.

    That's the reason why we built a retracting roof on our stadium in Toronto. So God could see how baseball was supposed to be played.

    Yeah - the Jays stadium is nice (I have family in Scarboro and Markham), been there many times.

    Seriously though, you want to get to the Millenium Stadium in cardiff - it is world class with a galaxy class atmosphere !

    Andorra, Moldova, Malta and erm um well, I'm spent.
    For every story told that divides us, I believe there are a thousand untold that unite us.

    That's three correct. I'm gonna give killer a hint on the fourth. It became a country in the 1990s

    That's the one. I myself would have been unsure also, but Wiki says it's a country, spelling is Herzegovina. Good job.
