My first nominee:

There are 32 different rivers in Asia that are at least 1000 miles long.

How many can you name without going to Wikipedia or Google first?


And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

That is important?
I was hoping you could tell me why we park on a driveway and drive on a parkway.
Or why our nose runs and our feet smell.

I can probably name 5 or 6 if I take some time to think it over. 10 if I really take a lot of time.

I'd go with Nile, Indus, and Tigris/Euphrates - which actually are one, as they empty into the Persian Gulf together.

Off the top of my head, I got 12 Asian rivers - way short of 32.

What I know - and can recite - is the list of ingredients in a Big Mac - although I can't stand to eat any of them other than the two all beef patties and the sesame seed bun.

Definitely geologically. It's mostly a trick question because there are many varying opinions and evidence out there. Generally, however, one of them runs through parts of North Carolina, and some even try to argue another that runs through North Carolina as well, but I haven't been as convinced on that one.

"Starbucks" coffee????
Now THERE'S a waste of $4.
Heck, go to McDonald's and get a cup of coffee for ONE DOLLAR, that to me tastes better then the over priced bitter Starbucks (or Alterra, or any other over priced lousy tasting coffee).[grin1]

The Big Mac, done well, is awe-inspiring. It's difficult to get a Big Mac and fries done well at the same time. I hate McDonalds as good as the next guy, but let's be fair.

You get a cherry primo Big Mac with fresh fries and all is good in the fast-food-world we live in. lol

I still love the double quarter-pounder-with cheese, comparative to Wendy's and Burger King... It's a lot tougher sandwich to actually fuck up or allow to dry out. I still go to Burger King, as it's a safer bet, day in, day out. I rarely go to McDonalds, you can't trust 'em. The Burger King employees all piss me off, but the end-product I like.

Taco Bell is underappreciated, imo, and how those all-you-can-eat Chinese joints deliver the food they deliver makes me nervous, lol It's mafia related, so I'd watch my pets, lol

Wendy's is pure ass, as is Arby's except that Jomoca shake.

We have a Popeye's Chicken run by thugs. Kind of a frustrating place. For example, they have a tendency to run out of chicken, often. They have everything else, just not the chicken. This can be an issue in a chicken-selling store, my marketing genius buds have informed me... I love everything there, except the human beings actually running things. .

I like Arby's Classic Roast Beef sandwich - plain of course.
