Looking over all the answers, I'm glad that I'm not the only one who read this question. skim-edited "one of" and ended up looking like they were trying to be a smarty pants.

Then I would have had to decide whether to go for the sure one (Jerusalem) or the one that I wasn't positive, but yielded a Tone-Loc joke (Madinah/Medina).

Because my the basic rule that guides my life is never pass up the opportunity for a Tone-Loc joke. Ha!
So, I'm not the only person who referred to this artist as Ton-Def?
Enough already. It's my fault! Get over it!

That'll be $10, please.

QoD Weekend Points

Lots of good scores this week. I suppose I made it a little too easy, but heck, isn't mercy what religion's all about? :D Anyway, the next game should be a bit tougher, but not overly tough, at least if I get it right.
