59. Dubai - and I have actually been to the top visitor accessible floor of the Burj Khalifa, because how could I be that close and NOT take an expensive and long excursion to go to the top of the world's tallest building? I learned a lot of interesting things on that excursion, including how much Americans eat compared to the rest of the world. We had an included buffet lunch in Dubai, and they were about out of food by the time we went through the buffet line, and we were roughly middle of the group.

quote:57. What company is the largest purchaser of potatoes in the world? McDonald's (WTG OG)
Duh!!! Bigdog and I caused our team to win Seabourn hats for us all on this last cruise based on Bigdog knowing the answer to the question of which company is the world's largest distributor of children's toys (McDonald's - Happy Meals, also duh! I also knew it but had forgotten) and me knowing what HTML means. We were playing the kind of trivia where the value of the answers doubled with each round, so it really didn't matter if you had wrong answers in the early rounds, and the bonus final question was for huge points, so a single player with the right answer could win it for the team. Oh, and also double points if your team was the only one who got the correct answer on any question.

They are much larger than you might think - 5-7 feet, AND, oddly enough, they have a pocket on the outside of their body, where they keep a rock for breaking the shells of sea creatures they eat. I swear I am not making this up. They also have the densest fur of any animal on the planet.
62. Oh, probably Paris.
63. hyena
64. Atlantic Ocean
65. Romain lettuce
66. Well, tree, or why would they ask such a bizarre question?
67. Joey Bishop
68. dunno, 10, or whatever Dean says

Guesses for new set:
81. Well, it could be a llama or an alpaca, both of which are domesticated and live at high altitudes, and we saw them at high altitudes when we took a 7 hour bus ride on a ridge of the Andes in Peru a few years back. BUT, I am going to ride with that children's book alphabet book clue and say yak! We have a yak herd on a farm not too far from my house, which I discovered while driving to an estate sale in the countryside, and my mind saw some weird animals out of the corner of my eye, and I told myself I did NOT just see a herd of yaks. So I went back later, and sure enough they were yaks!!!
82. Probably Fiji will go with that, and probably because Survivor has been filming exclusively there for many seasons. Bora Bora is MUCH more beautiful. I have been to Fiji twice, once in 1955 when my family emigrated to Australia, and once in 1956 when we gave it up and moved back to the US. It was a port of call on an ocean liner.
83. dunno
84. Adirondacks
85. WWI sounds like it would have to be Harry Truman, just based on age.
86. 20
87. Tammy Wynette
88. paintbrushes
89. Heh, I went to a cocktail party tonight, not 6 HOURS ago, hosted by some Canadians, both of whom (now in their 80's) were curling champions. The wife still participates in a national senior league. And we discussed, of all things, curling stones!!! And one of the other attendees wanted to know the name of the thing they launch down the ice, which got us into a discussion of the origination of the sport in Scotland. So, um, curling stones. It's a small world, sometimes.
90. Pollux

Well, hell's bells I have now looked up the answer to question 90, and we also at tonight's very same cocktail party had a totally separate discussion about trips to Scotland, and one of the guys gave a tip to look into Landmark Trust properties, which sort of ties in with the tenet of the sale of Ailsa Craig to a Conservancy Trust! Holy carp! I'm puffin' with wonder tonight.
