2. Nero?

2. Well, it is the tallest mountain in Scotland, which is on the island of Great Britain, so I guess the answer is GREAT BRITAIN. In The Great Novel, I have Scottish character whose name is 'Ben Nevis,' whose main characteristic is that he is very tall...

2. This is Nero.

2. Tasmanian devil? Can't see the picture very well.

2. Beats me. I'll guess that it is... purple.

2. Ben Nevis is the highest mountain on what island?
I know it's in Scotland, so does that make the island Great Britain?

2. What Roman emperor was born Lucius Domitius Ahenobarbus?
I have never met Mr. Lucius, so I don't know. If it's N Day, I will guess Nero (because I can't think of any other guesses.)

2. Let’s try a picture again. What is the common name of this marsupial, Myrmecobius fasciatus?
I have never met this lovely creature, but I think she is very pretty, as the shape of her nose and her coloration are similar to my own. I would name her Nicole (if she's a girl) and Nicholas (if that's a boy.) Those are nice names that are common without being commonplace.

2. What color is the Nine ball in a standard U.S. set of billiard balls?
I am not allowed to play billiards ever since the time I snagged a ball off the big green table and ran away with it. I got yelled at. A lot. I don't know the answer.

I noticed we have lots of second questions today.

If that's the one I think it is, I think it's in Ireland? I think I flew over it on the way back from the UK.

2. What Roman emperor was born Lucius Domitius Ahenobarbus?
The only N that comes to mind is Nero

I'm so stupid. I just read everyone else's answers after posting mine and even though the last one clearly says "nine ball" in my mind I envisioned the 8 ball, hence my answer. A big Friday afternoon DUH on that one.

Because yesterday LFHP made fun of my mistakenly putting in two #2s. So I intentionally put in all #2s today. No one seems to have gotten the "joke".

I, however, laughed while I was doing it so I'm counting it as a big success.

After reading all the yellow with white stripe, white with yellow stripe answers, I'm glad I went with the all-encompassing "yellow and white striped".

I have played pool since I was a kid (I even have my own cue with a case and everything!) and, closing my eyes and thinking about it, if my life depended on getting the right answer, I'd be in trouble. I'm almost absolutely certain I know the correct combination, but not million dollar question sure.
