Keep it up people, soon as i get a chance from work and college i'll go find some good questions as well! The 2 fears I can see, is one: the questions if put into other people's hands might not always be correct, and secondly: if their personalized questions, they could be quite hard! E.g. Trash's aussie questions will sure be difficult, as it's basically like learning a different language!

Thanks for that Navy. And Chalupa you dont have to put trashbag in front of those questions...that part was a joke.
Hope you enjoy the aussie slang questions and I am writing some history questions as Rob has requested me to do. I have sourced and written some US history ones that arent as much fun but i will submit them anyway. OK you all now please tell me what u think of the questions i write...like if they are too long or boring and I will keep your critisisms in mind.
Glad to be of help!
