Hi Liz, Oh these are really good questions! I only know two of them though. The Volga is the longest river in Europe. No. 4 is the fear of feathers (I would assume being tickled by them as I am not sure what else a feather could do to make you afraid of it! LOL) I didn't even know that there was an 80th gift (although if you make it that far, it should be something great! ) I have very little Bible knowledge but let's guess The book of Ruth? I am not a huge follower of football so I haven't a clue about the last World Cup game. I'm sure it is somewhere in the US, maybe the University of Michigan stadium as it is the largest stadium in the USA (and third largest in the world!) Thanks so much, loved them!
Hi Deb, You have stumped me on all of them except the first two and I guessed correctly on no. 8, but the rest of them were outside my wheelhouse completely. I did know that Alexander the Great's body was put into a vat of honey though (to preserve it for the long trip to Egypt I would imagine). Thanks for the great questions today!
Hi Sue
10 for me today, which is amazing as we have just got back from a weekend at LEGOLAND Windsor with family and are very tired!
B xx
