All the questions are ambiguous as they were claimed, not discovered. They take in no account of the original indeginous people.:yes:


newoldmanx - August 25th, 2007 at 10:48 AM

of course something should be first "discovered" before it is then "claimed"

why would you suggest "They take in no account of the original indeginous people"

without doubt from 60 "looks" yours is the best attempt:thumb:cool:

1. Captain Cook killed heaps of aborigines
2. Christopher Columbus killed lots of native Americans
3. Romans 'claimed' England after killing heaps of cave dwelling saxons
4. Romulus and Remus built Rome and therefore founded Italy whilst suckling of a wolves teet.
5. Rome/Italy claimed Greece while killing lots of people from different nationalities.

Alternative answers I prefer

1. A bogan with a pack of Winny Reds under his sleeve.
2. Some arrogant prick who blames Muslims for all his problems
3. A guy who made bad fish and chips wearing a hanky as a hat
4. Enzo Ferrari really put Italy on the map
5. A guy in a 1956 oval window whilst trying to find some retro restoration parts

Questions 1, 2 and 3. Un-nameable, by us, members of the genus, Homo sapiens sapiens or possibly Homo sapiens cro-magniensis.

Questions 4 and 5. Un-nameable, by us, members of the genus, Homo neanderthalenis.

I doubt if members of the genii, Homo erectus, Homo habilis, or Australo-pithecus ever got to those countries.

I thought they would be VW questions...

like what did 1951 Beetles have that no other year had?

like what did 1969 beetles have that no other year had?

like what external difference between a 1963 beetle and a 1964 beetle in Australia?

What VW had pop out windows without hinges?
the glass actually did the bending....

anyone know what was special about German made 1967 beetles sold in North America?
Most of the items were World wide [German] although there were differences in the body in some European countries.

These were just off the top of My head...
