Re [Quiz]Istanbul Not Constantinople

But it's a They Might Be Giants earworm, so that's OK.

I don't want to take the quiz, I just want to know the answers.

Re [Quiz]Istanbul Not Constantinople

Amy, you did really well! That's what I would have scored if I hadn't looked a couple up writing it.

Margo, which ones don't you know?

I did not cheat.

I'm not that resourceful.

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.

Ceylon - it's a tea. And maybe a color.

I love geography quizzes!

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!
