Slartibartfast Posted August 12, 2011 Report Share Posted August 12, 2011 Only three words in standard English begin with the letters ' dw' and they are all common words. Name two of themThis is not a joke (in case some were to get there hopes up), but I remember being taught in school that they'd managed to successfully crossbreed a lion and a tiger - they called it a Liger. Then in the paper there was an article about successfully crossbreeding a dolphin and a Whale. But just when you thought we might get a 4th "WD" word they unfortunately called it a Wolfin ): Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BGKD Posted August 12, 2011 Report Share Posted August 12, 2011 The 1001 Nights is the famous tale of Scheherazade, who survives impending execution by telling stories to her 'king'. The Stories were originally translated to English in 1885 by Richard Francis Burton, and the complete translation occupied 10 volumes. However.... can you name two characters or stories from Scheherazades tales Easy?????..... well there are a few rules..... Two answers required, answers with more or less than two answers are wrong Naming two characters from the same tale is wrong Naming a tale and a character in the tale is wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BGKD Posted August 13, 2011 Report Share Posted August 13, 2011 Showing your age there BGKD!!!! Not quite, one of the frustrating things about being taught Literature and History, is that not only do they ask you questions about things that happened whilst your not watching, but also about things that happened before your born Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
