Who is blonde's Greatest Mind? - The Ultimate Quiz

[MintTrav]

I was amused to find that three of the history questions happened during my lifetime.

Had to guess a few answers.

Good quiz.

Tikay I'm disappointed in you.

You challenged me to a last longer and then bailed when you saw I drew Dinglebelle.

You know when you think you know something, then you start to over think it and change your mind and then you realise you don't know anything and wonder why you enter quizzes on the Internet?

That's me that is.

The Last Longer is still on, don't be backing out.

And don't be putting Dingledelle down - as Typists from Blackburn go, she's quite smart.

Meanwhile, I've been done over a treat.

I'm supposed to know what hummus contains, & what peso is made from. WTF?

Anyway, best send my correct answers in. Both of them.

Before I crash out of this quiz, may I just remind people I once won the honour of being official forum sage, a position for which I feel I have never been given the respect deserved.

That is all.
