ANSWERS
QoD July 10, 2008
1. The Huang He River is better known by what colorful name?
Yellow River. I've always called it the Huang Ho but Huang He seems to have gained ground.
2. Howard Hughes was born in what U.S. state?
Texas. Either Humble or Houston. Buried in Houston as well.
3. What do the letters in “http” in web addresses stand for?
HyperText Transfer Protocol. I was strict on this. If you have support for another version let me know.
4. What country is the home of the sport of hurling?
Ireland. Think hockey on a soccer field. They also play a different version in Wales with no sticks.

Fanny and the Confessor sounds like a good name for a tv show. I want more tough days, because I suck on what everybody seems to think are the easy ones.
Has nobody seen The Aviator?
I'm darned good and ready.

I know I'm too late, I just want to get on the board if the Meister will allow it...
Sigh. The only reason I sent in an entry was because I saw that AJ wasn't the last poster in the thread, and so I erroneously assumed he hadn't posted the answers.
Oh well. I'll go edit.
