Several millions. ;) I assume the city is Bangkok?
I was contemplating using this name as a question, so I know what this particular city is known as, to people in the west. So I was goingl sit back and let others have a go first, but since my friend BleAivano has already pointed out that we know it (incorrectly) as Bangkok, I will submit that as far as I can remember its' population is about 6.5 million
i knew, it is a short one. Anfield5 is right, the answer of BleAviano is wrong. But you are also not correct, we search for are another number....
Maybe my memory is a bit fuzzy, so instead of 6.5 million, I will guess at 5.5 million
Just want to make sure the question is correct. Did you spell check it? :p:D
yes, this is what it sound like: City of angels, great city of immortals, magnificent city of the nine gems, seat of the king, city of royal palaces, home of gods incarnate, erected by Visvakarman at Indra's behest :tweetie:Quote:

Ok, since you're the only one who thought tries to answer, we solve for your third attempt:
According to the Census of 2010 living in Bangkok 8,280,925 inhabitants.
Anfield5 has the next Question. ;)
Wow that's way bigger than I remembered :)Quote:

One is Japan. Red disc on white background.
Second One is Bangladesh, Red on Green
Japan,
Korea,
Brunei
Palau has a Yellow spot on blue background but I don't think its central.
Does that count?
We have them all.
Japan is a red disc on a white field
Bangladesh is a red disc on a green field
Palau is a yellow disc on a light blue field
as for the others
South Korea has a blue and red disc on a white field
Bunei is a red crescent and praying hands on a yellow field with diagonal black and white bands

But if you meant some great lakes Waterton Lakes on the Alberta -Montana border are really great lakes, Lake Champlain on the Vermont-Quebec border is great, too.. Very pretty.
Lake of the Woods on the border of Minnesota-Ontario-Saskatchewan is pretty great for canoe adventures. Shoreline is incredible with millions of bays..
yep those are the ones and your order are correct as well.Quote:

And yes, Lake Champlain is very pretty. I used to swim at the public beach near Plattsburg.
Nearby is Lake Memphramagog, smaller, but just as pretty.
A couple of other notable cross border lakes:
Lake Osoyoos on the British Columbia – Washington border.
Lake Kookanusa (although technically a reservoir) on the British Columbia – Idaho border. A popular lake for boating and nearby camping.
OK what's the name of the largest North flowing river in North America and what body of water does it empty into..?Quote:

What's the use of getting bonus points? :confused:
You win MORE! More is always better than less! If you go shopping you see a bottle of dish wash soap and it says "25% More free" that's a lot better deal, right... Only a cynic would ask "How can it be 25% free-er than free?"..Quote:

And extra Geographic Bonus points for naming the island where that epic bit of logic was uttered.
Aha!.... Win more points but get only the right to ask the next Q :confused:
Same if I win with the right answer and have 7 skittles shot down.
My guess that the water body is the gulf of St. Lawrence and that the river have the same name; S.T Lawrence?Quote:

I believe this is a bit of a trick question as, by volume, I would guess it’s the Mackenzie River flowing from Great Slave Lake into the Beaufort Sea, contained entirely, I believe, in the Northwest Territories of Canada.
By length, it might be the Red River that flows along the North Dakota – Minnesota border (not sure of its source), through Manitoba and empties into Lake Winnipeg.
What is the Athabasca River? I think it flows north into Lake Athabasca
By largest do you mean greatest flow or greatest length?
Not that it matters as my knowledge of North American rivers can be written on a [small] postage stamp. And none of the ones I know flow north!
That just made me think of the Peace River which originates somewhere in British Columbia and also (I believe) flows into Lake Athabaska. Although, I think this might flow in a more easterly direction...Quote:
