GT

GT

Colossus of Rhodes
Lighthouse of Alexandria

I've played Rome: Total War and Civilization IV. I know my wonders.

Sorry, I know it's "one answer per post", but I couldn't be mithered multiposting for such a dull Trivial Pursuits question.

Breaking the rules, Psycorp 603

Afraid that gives you a



GT

Psycorp its the Mausoleum of Maussollos at Halicarnassus

If it's a good QI question it can't be answered with an answer. It can only be answered with an explanation.

As in Connect Four, K.B.........

Just trying a different approach......



GT

How is this a "different approach"? It's just asking for regurgitated facts.

No debunking of received myth? No popular misconceptions explained? No rare or unusual information to share? Nothing more than reading Trivial Pursuits cards?

Life's too short. It really is.

And so it came to pass that gandalfstwin unmasked them all!
And they slunk away.

All but for Psychorp603 who posted his own QI:
"If King Kong fought Andre The Giant atop Macchu Picchu, just how wonderful would that be?"

Which looks like a variation on the old "Qui este muai macho?" game.
Like 'qui este mueh macho, Audrey Hepburn or Yul Brynner?' It makes you think, but... such thoughts!
