Silly canadians getting hung up on quize's
If I wanted to surf on a single wave for the longest possible time, apart from artificial machines, where would I go to do this?
the mouth of the Thames?
Yeah I think I saw this on TV once...in England somewhere they showed a guy standing on a board with a tidal bore about 18inches high...he coulda been sipping a cup of tea while surfing. Went for miles and miles.
I'll guess the Severn River?
The Amazon River
St. John River in the Bay of Fundy? Somewhere in the Bay of Fundy, home of the world's highest tides.
You guessed right.Quote:

This castle has been cited as one of the greatest in the world.
Where can it be found?
Scotland?
I only know this because Im a huge history buff
The castle is called Krak des Chevalier, located on the eastern slope of the Djebel Ansariya Mountains.
It was an Arab castle but crusaders captured it and made countless additions to it, so its the way it looks today. It overlooked the Homs Pass which was a strategic point on the way to Egypt. It was granted to the venerable Knights Hospitalers.
