I'm interested now - how about Franklin? Can't think of a country named after him though.

How about 'Mr. Bolivia' (don't know his name!)? I know a currency is a Bolivar, but isnt that Venezuela's money?Quote:

Take it away Mr PS29! :up:
Never even heard of Simon Bolivar - I'll have to Wiki him later!
My question is what is the shortest named river in the world? I will except two different answers as it depends on who you listen to.
AAR ? Crossworders know this one. LOL
Edit: Wait! What about the PO?
Sorry - misunderstanding. I meant the shortest river which has a name i.e. not just a stream I dug at the end of my garden but a proper, recognised river
Doh!
It wouldn't be the Po then...lol
I am going to say.....dang...this one irritates me....because I will slap my head I am sure when it is revealed.
East River?
You might not bang your head - it's not immediately obvious and I only know because I'm doing A-Level Geography. I checked online and two names popped up. Neither were the East River though!
It's the "D" River in the US. I know, because I asked this same question way back on the old board ;)
