| | Re [Quiz]Istanbul Not Constantinople | | I don't know, Pippa, Maybe ALL OF THEM.
Guess I'll just have to take it to find out the answers.
When you say Burma I think of shave and I'm not even that old.
Rhodesia, isn't that some sort of grill restaurant?
Persia, rugs right?
Ceylon, isn't that a color?
I just get all distracted.

| | Re [Quiz]Istanbul Not Constantinople | | Whatever. I'm feeling much better now that Wormie has refused to take it. Some days a person does not need to feel more stupider.
In fact, I should not have even read the quiz.

| | Re [Quiz]Istanbul Not Constantinople | | Holy mackerel! What a travesty. And just why am I $43,000 in debt with the U.S. Department of Education? I'd like to submit this with my next monthly payment.
Nice quiz!
