You know, Estonia?<br /><br />3. Um...is Mexico City too obvious?<br /><br />4. Um...is "the Holy Land" too vague? Jerusalem or thereabouts?<br /><br />5. Portugal.<br /><br />6. Genoa, I presume?<br /><br />7. For the last similar question I said Norway/Denmark, but the answer was England, so this time I should say England? No that doesn't make sense. Stamford Bridge? That would be...can I just say "the Norse"? How about Norway/Denmark? Fine fine...Norway, I think.<br /><br />8. Cappadocia is in modern Turkey.<br /><br />9. China. Right? Not Vietnam? Wait, "Nam tien"? Okay, maybe Vietnam. Fine. Vietnam.<br /><br />10. I've never heard of the Harrowing of the North. No idea. Could be almost anywhere. Let's see...who was a new monarch in 1069 with a shaky claim and control mostly in the south of the new kingdom? I can't think of anyone other than Billy the Conqueror.pflyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16866574024138674337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10779294.post-59027563794657454542015-07-28T21:27:46.983-07:002015-07-28T21:27:46.983-07:001 powdered orange drink for astronauts?

I actually know this is Estonia.<br /><br />3) It would make sense if this were Mexico.<br /><br />4) Probably Jerusalem. All the cool kids were doing it.<br /><br />5) You want me to say Spain, but I think it’s Portugal.<br /><br />6) I so wanted to say Venice, but Northwest? Gotta be Genoa, I guess?<br /><br />7) Ok, this is the Harald that is actually the Norwegian one. I was just a few weeks early last time.<br /><br />8) Uh, yeah, I don’t know that. Caesarea makes me think Egypt, though.<br /><br />9) Sounds like Vietnam. Looks like Vietnam. Let’s chance it.<br /><br />10) Seems like the sort of thing ol’ Billy the Bastard might try on.</b>Michael5000https://www.blogger.com/profile/10148584819327475239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10779294.post-20568988242028150532015-07-26T09:44:03.121-07:002015-07-26T09:44:03.121-07:00Monday came early, that week...<b>Monday came early, that week...</b>Michael5000https://www.blogger.com/profile/10148584819327475239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10779294.post-47416303073198706142015-07-26T09:16:04.653-07:002015-07-26T09:16:04.653-07:001.
