Right, the answer is ......
The USA has the highest population of Tigers in the World with just 12,000 tigers being kept as private pets in the country, plus there are tigers in zoos all over the country. There are thought to be between 3,000 and 4,700 tigers living in India.
Question 2
How many wives did Henry VIII legally have?

Where did you get those figures from? the US has the highest population of large cats but you said tigers not large cats and the 3000 to 4700 you quoted are living in India are only figures for tigers still living in the wild and don't include any in captivity.
and 5 for question 2 please biggrin

Your all wrong x
The answer is in fact two, This total is correct under tudor law. (four if your a catholic)
Catherine of Aragon- Henry wanted to get rid of her so he declared a law that stated that it was illegal to marry the widow of your brother- aragon was previously married to henry's brother. Therefore this marriage was invalid.
Anne Boleyn- There are several reasons why this marriage cant be recognised legally. The pope declared that the marriage was invalid because in the eyes of catholic law he was still betrothed to his first wife. Henry had the marriage annulled just before he had anne's head cut off. Therefore since the marriage was annulled it legally never happened.
Jane Seymour- She was henry's favourite and died giving birth to the future king edward. This marriage was legally recognised so she was his first wife.
Anne of Cleves- There are two reasons why this marriage never happened legally. Henry wasnt keen on anne so he immediatley had the marriage annulled. Anne was still married to francis duke of Lorraine so the marriage was illegal.
Catherine Howard- Similarily to Anne Boleyne the marriage was annulled by Henry just before her execution, therefore the marriage never happened legally.
Catherine Parr- She outlived Henry, she was his second and last wife.
Question 3,
What is the capital city of Thailand?

If he married, and then later anulled the marriage - does not necessarily make the marriage illegal.
He legally married them at that time of making the vows. Only later were they cancelled. So could we not argue that they were legal marriages at the time the vows were taken?

agreed :thumbup: apart from the bigamy one that could be classed as illegal and using religion as legality is even worse, if that’s the case anyone married in a registry office must have an illegal marriage. cheat chat cheat :shock:

Q3 since your cheating i'll say this: Ayutthaya

6 Dec 2006

Quote by felixx1416
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?

Ah, pardon me - I thought I'd had a go at an answer. Silly me. And it was on topic - and an opinion (ie the book is crap in MY opinion).
One other thing -threads get hijacked all the time - you going to have a strop at everyone who hijacks a thread?
Oh, and what impression do I have of you?

I dont care if the thread gets hijacked, i just dont appreciate it when people make comments in order to make me appear foolish, you can have an opinion- thats fine by me, but as i saidbefore you do seem to have a problem with me and i cant find any reasoning behind that.
