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 426 Views
He misspelled everything, hence the entire conversation. *NM* nossy - 08/07/2011 03:19:11 PM 374 Views

You're wrong about Georgia, at least. Legolas - 08/07/2011 11:46:13 PM 763 Views
That will change when Russia re-invades. Tom - 09/07/2011 03:23:13 AM 676 Views

Asking a non-Rugby fan about the All Blacks ... Nate - 09/07/2011 12:15:24 AM 628 Views
Bad analogy. Tom - 09/07/2011 03:21:23 AM 863 Views
Actually, it's a pretty good analogy... Legolas - 09/07/2011 09:44:50 AM 716 Views
So you're saying NZ culture is as relentlessly projected as American? Tom - 09/07/2011 03:00:33 PM 871 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 354 Views
10, although I didn't actually expect my guess for #2 to be correct... *NM* Legolas - 08/07/2011 07:52:27 PM 326 Views
