So you think you're so bloody smart eh?
Try this on for size! Each question is worth one point, for a total of 10 questions equalling 10 points. The end prize will be nothing. So...now that you're properly motivated, let us begin:
1. This planet has the 3rd highest number of moons.
2. It is the largest fresh water body in the world.
3. This fatty type coating can be found on sheep's wool.
4. This metal has the highest density. (I've never heard of it either).
5. This high speed, high altitude wind blows from west to east.
6. Along with Caesar and Pompey, he was the third member of the Triumvirate of Rome.
7. This US president was assassinated in 1881.
8. This "animal" (could be avian, fish, reptile or mammal) has NO natural predators.
9. This is the colour of my underwear today. (Thursday, March 31st, 2005) - no, it's not brown *******s. (If you want a hint...the second word starts with a "b", and the first word is something I was never in, but I'm pretty sure Kool and Allen were.)
10. This man's real name is Paul Hewson.
So chew on that one!!!
"Sometimes I do what I want...most of the time, I do what I have to." (Cicero, from "Gladiator")

Today I begin to understand what love must be, if it exists.... When we are parted, we each feel the lack of the other half of ourselves. We are incomplete like a book in two volumes of which the first has been lost. That is what I imagine love to be: incompleteness in absence.

You can post the answers here or pm me...doesn't matter. Just bear in mind that if you post'em, other people will get them. But again, there's no prize...more of something to occupy your time for a few minutes, or maybe if you look up the answers you'll find something else out interesting.

What would be really fun is trying to use this knowledge by dropping it in normal conservations.

Got most of those right ('cept for the president one...gimme a break, I'm Canadian...)
In regards to question 2, are we talking area or volume? Cause if we're talking volume, then Lake Baikal in Siberia wins hands down:
http://www.baikal.eastsib.ru/baikalfacts/
'Baikal's volume, at 23,600 km<SUP>3, is greater than any other fresh water lake and makes approximately 20 percent of the world's surface fresh water. As a point of comparison, if you were to drain Lake Baikal, it would take the Great Lakes of the United States: Superior, Michigan, Huron, Erie, and Ontario to refill the empty basin. '
Sorry, just me being picky (again...)http://www.graphicdesignforum.com/DesktopModules/dotNetBB/emoticons/biggrin.gif

Magnus
04-01-2005, 06:58 PM
Well, in light of that information Ctrl, I'll make both answers as being correct. I think the answer I had for the fresh water one only took surface area into account.
So, here are the answers!
1: Uranus
2: Lake Superior (surface area) / Lake Baikal (volume)
3: lanolin
4: Osmium <--- I'd love to know what that's good for.
5: Jet Stream
6: Marcus Licinius Crassus
7: John Garfield
8: Killer Whale (based on Discovery channel...not even sharks tackle these things)
9: Navy Blue
10: Bono of U2
So next week I'll do the same thing...with 10 questions of varying subject matter, though I'll try not to have ones that come up as easy on google, but that might be a tough one. (Thouh I hope my underwear didn't come up on google either.)
What we'll do too, is have people pm me the answers...so there's no cheating!

Mag, you should have one question about ourselves that everyone posts the answer to, to get to know more about eachother. Kinda in regards to what Kool said.
