I thought it was called the Huang Ho, but maybe that's not a nice thing to call a river. Anyway, I'm pretty sure it's the Yellow River in China.

Australia, I guess. None of my best girlfriends play that game, unless maybe Oprah does.

Pretty good today, Cesar (did you know his friends called him Butch, even though he was decidedly not?). We were going for the same joke on #4, but I think mine is superior if only because it might be correct. Ha!LookingForHumorPoints wrote:QoD July 10, 2008

Yet another answer I know from a recent Pub Trivia game. This one asked for one of the two national sports of Ireland. IIRC, rugby (or a variation of it) was the other.
There is something wrong in a government where they who do the most have the least. There is something wrong when honesty wears a rag, and rascality a robe; when the loving, the tender, eat a crust while the infamous sit at banquets.
