Keats - The poem is familiar from school, but I don't like it, so it must have been with the narrow-minded teacher who was obsessed with Ireland.<br />2. Kant - my roommate took philosophy and I used to read her books<br />3. Kandinsky - my other roommate took art and I think she did her thesis on this guy.<br />4. kim chee a.k.a. Korean fermented cabbage - I tried it once, got really really sick that night. I don't know if it was the kim chee or the sesame chicken, but the sesame chicken tasted really really good. The kim chee did not.<br />5. Kbangalore - too bad my third roommate was in biology, not geography, and was from Nigeria, not Kwhatever this is, nor the next one.<br />6. Kyrgystan - Because I can't think of any island group nation that begins with K, and if I'm going to get it wrong anyway, I might as well get it waaay wrong, and misspell it, too. Also my Nigerian x-roommate never sends me e-mail, if you were going to ask.<br />7. Kirk, James T. - Way too easy. You should have at least reversed the question.<br />8. Kilamanjaro, Mount - Mountain in Africa beginning with K.<br />9. Красная Площадь - The answer you want is probably Kremlin, but we're not in the Kremlin if we have this view, we're in Red Square, the name of which only starts with K if I write it in Russian. Or probably most other Slavic languages, but I have a better chance of spelling it correctly in Russian. Красная means "Red" but it's not named after the red Russians nor after the colour at all. It is the archaic form of Красывая, beautiful.<br />10. krona, which probably means "crown" and likely has a germanic-style plural, with er.<br /><br />Words that start with K that I like include khan, kayak, kamik, Kwakiutl, Kwakwaka'wakw, klaa, Khmer, & книга.Aviatrixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13634111275860140084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10779294.post-31993536253591548692011-03-16T19:25:05.810-07:002011-03-16T19:25:05.810-07:00I actually know some of these--I usually know 0-1,...I actually know some of these--I usually know 0-1, but knowing more than 1 makes me want to play.<br /><br />1 Keats<br />2 Immanuel Kant<br />3 Kandinsky<br />4 pickled cabbage, smells terrible--um--kraut?<br />5 Kalkutta w/ a K?
