I knew it. nossy Send a noteboard - 08/07/2011 03:18:20 PM
It's only the UK and Commonwealth that play rugby. It would be like asking a bunch of Europeans questions about baseball.

Many people aren't interested in history or geography, so why is it more likely that everyone would know Walesa or the lakes? They are clearly area specific as well. Same could be said for literature and Tolstoy.

He also misspelled Walesa. *NM* Tom - 08/07/2011 03:14:10 PM 329 Views
He misspelled everything, hence the entire conversation. *NM* nossy - 08/07/2011 03:19:11 PM 317 Views

You're wrong about Georgia, at least. Legolas - 08/07/2011 11:46:13 PM 630 Views
That will change when Russia re-invades. Tom - 09/07/2011 03:23:13 AM 566 Views

Asking a non-Rugby fan about the All Blacks ... Nate - 09/07/2011 12:15:24 AM 495 Views
Bad analogy. Tom - 09/07/2011 03:21:23 AM 720 Views
Actually, it's a pretty good analogy... Legolas - 09/07/2011 09:44:50 AM 584 Views
So you're saying NZ culture is as relentlessly projected as American? Tom - 09/07/2011 03:00:33 PM 687 Views

All of them. Although Motown was a guess and I tossed a coin for souvlaki. *NM* Rebekah - 08/07/2011 05:54:30 PM 291 Views
10, although I didn't actually expect my guess for #2 to be correct... *NM* Legolas - 08/07/2011 07:52:27 PM 246 Views
