Previously I pointed to a post I had made in the swine flu thread, but no-one seems to have taken the opportunity to check out the link I posted, so here it is again;

Well, if it is the capital of Sarawak you're looking for, it is Kuching. But what is the 'cat' connection?
Kuching is 'cat' in Malay.Quote:

Your question edv.
Next time I get to ask a question I just might use Ojibway!!!!!! :D
OKay, here's one:
I am looking for the name of a country.
It is the Oldest Constitutional Republic in the world, and has the oldest written constitution among currently existing countries.
As usual, Google and Wikipedia, etc are forbidden.
Mexico?
Hi Carrie ...not Mexico. Much older.
Iceland?
San Marino
San MArino became a republic in Sept 301 AD. That's pretty old!
Your turn, Steve
where can the tallest trees in the world be found and what name are they given?
Canada, giant redwood?Quote:

I do not float.
I am not in New Zealand.
a train? Canada?
Good question Schmenke :)
Name of one of the trams on the HK Peak tramway? However am inclined to think that they may have become operational after mid 1800s :s
Caoline is on track although I am not in HK.
A clue perhaps? if so a train in Southern African he says, spreading the net wide!Quote:

I'd say a Funicular, somewhere in the USA.
Nope, not a funicular, not in the U.S.
I am listed in the Guiness Book of World Records as the oldest operational...
...train? Or, more specifically, locomotive? I'm guessing in a former British colony, as the Brits were at the forefront of rail transportation for a long time (and, dare I say it, some of the former colonies have not progressed much since then...) Kenya?Quote:

Yep, the oldest operational steam locomotive is named the Fairy Queen, operating in a former British colony. Not Kenya though :)
Southern Africa? Whoops, already asked that, ok South Africa then?Quote:

FG and Studiose each replied correctly to half of the question. I'll let you two squabble over rights to the next Q :p :
Aha! :) I claim the next question in the name of France! :hmph:
Just kidding. ;) You go, Firstgear, I'll be away for the next few days.
Ok here goes. Lets try a photo Q.
What landmark was this pic taken from?
fousto's penthouse?
Well that building certainly looks like the BMW corporate headquarters in Munich, although I have no idea from where the pic was taken.
I though fousto lived in a retirement community...
:erm:
He's got a bachelor pad he splits with Hugh Hefner on weekends ;)Quote:
