Driest place on earth?
I am guesing either Death Valley or alternatively somewhere really cold - ice is dry.

Your nearly there with the guess about ice.

Nope, no problem at all.

Well then i apoligise for thinking that, you just seem to be able to give me the impression that you do (have a problem with me) x
Now lets stop with the arguing/ wittering (i think thats a word) and get back on topic biggrin
North Pole
To correct your book (using the same argument you gave against Bangkok), Krung Thep is in fact not the capital. The longer name I posted previously (shortened to Krung Thep by locals) is.
It translates as something like:
The city of angels, the great city, the residence of the Emerald Buddha, the impregnable city (of Ayutthaya) of God Indra, the grand capital of the world endowed with nine precious gems, the happy city, abounding in an enormous Royal Palace that resembles the heavenly abode where reigns the reincarnated god, a city given by Indra and built by Vishnukarn.

You have to give credit for where you're getting the answers then - or it's plagiarism, surely?

Ayutthaya

The capital of Thailand is Krung Thep (pronounced Grung Tape). Only foreigners call the capital city Bangkok, Bangkok hasnt existed in Thailand in over 200 years, Bangkok was in fact a small fishing port. King Rama decided to build a capital city on the site of the old fishing port in 1782, he built the city there and gave it its name which means Great city of angels.
Question 4 (i'll be fair this time and ask one you might get)
Where is the driest place on earth?
Actually, Thai Airways still calls it Bangkok ! dunno

i take it that a was a cock joke- if so shame on you!
Or i it wasnt then i must correct you as though the poles may look the same (the actual poles- idk i they really look the same- but they are poles so they must look a bit alike) they are both sat on landsacpes that vary alot! although the question was about the direst place on earth, not the coldest.

Thats tourism for you, they have to call it something that wont confuse travellers

Antartica is in fact the driest continent- parts of it havent seen any rain for two million years.

What is the biggest thing a blue whale can swallow?
hmmm not very big as they feed on krill and plankton if I remember rightly.
...surely that's an invitation for smutty innuendo? :twisted:

Too late, de_sade in there like a sniper!

A shipfull of seamen?
:shock: biggrin
lmao classic comment.
I would personally say another blue whales cock (thats one movie that id love to see lol) but unfortunatley thats not true....
go on then, put us out of our misery...
I just told ya, it's a small fish
The answer is a melon.
Blue Whales feed mainly on plankton so therefore have only a small throat capacity, im not sure why someonetried shoving a melon in though.
Now for a question of my own
When did Sherlock Holmes say *Evidentley my dear Watson* ?
He didn't.
Correct
I knew that wouldve been a short one.
Another ofmy own then.
What was the first domestic animal?
... and I'm guessing he didn't say "Elementary my dear Watson" either...
(not a lot of people know that ;) )
haha i didnt notice my little typo, i apoligise x
When he tried to shove an Adidas football into a Blue Whales throat and said "apparently my dear Watson, the fucker wont fit, I'm guessing the best we can hope for is a melon"
First domestic animal. Hmm
depends how you define domestic and wether or not you are religious, believe in evolution or intelligent design theories or indeed, any other theories.
Carbon dating cannot be relied upon since in order to date something by carbon, you have to have someting you know 100% is an exact age, in order to compare the sample to.
of the home, household / of one's country = dictionary definition of domestic.
