A little history/geography quiz

Yeah - apparently the lardass loser fancied himself as a bit of a Holden Caulfield, when it was him who was the phoney all the time.

What a collosal downer that was. Every now and then you read about Chapman getting turned down for parole. I recall at one point he was suing for the return of his copy of Lennon's album Double Fantasy, which is the last thing Lennon signed, it is probably worth a lot of money.

Never read Catcher in the Rye. One of these days...

This provides a segue into another question. Begin and Sadat marked the first time the Nobel Peace Prize was shared between an Arab and Israeli leader. What was the second time?

Yassir Arafat shared it with Yitzhak (sp?) Rabin and, I think, maybe also Shimon Peres after the Oslo accords. 1994?

Is that the one you're thinking of?

That's the one. I don't think Peres was involved. Oslo accords dealt with a peace deal between Israel and Palestinians, among other things. Ironically, Rabin was also assassinated. As far as I can tell both Sadat and Rabin were killed by radical elements of their own country who were opposed to the very deals that won them the Nobel Peace Prize in the first place.

Actually just double-checked on wikipedia (after reading this - no cheating ), and Peres did offically receive the prize too. He was the foreign minister at the time (and became prime minister after Rabin's assasination).

Never read Catcher in the Rye. One of these days...

It's a great book, but it actually seem rather tame by today's standards - not the thing you expect to be banned at least. Or inspire maniac fook-ups for that matter.

Okay, I'll come up with a question here: In what cities and countries are the northern-most and the southern-most McDonalds located?

Bonus info: I've visited both [And I don't even like McDonalds, but in both places this is pretty much their claim to tourist fame, and when in Rome...]

OK, right you are about Peres.

As for the McDonalds question, are we allowed to consult google earth?

Hmm, okay!

Hmm, okay!

Sorry, it's a day later and I'm hving a hard time motivating myself to look for Golden Arches on Google Earth satellite photos. But leave the question up here, I'll get to it.

Having a guess, Spitzbergan North and Tierra Del Fuego south long shot. There wasnt one there in the 60s Del Fuego that is but is a long time ago
