That'll do. Quite an interesting woman. It said on QI that she invented the pie chart whereas Wikipedia tells me it was some guy. Rather than do any research I just kept the question woolly.

Anyway, gratulálunk Istenem!

Over to you

No idea.

Fencing?

nope, but apparently fencing (l'éscrime) is the national sport of france.

it is a ball game which is played widely in this country. but dozy yanks couldn't do it, so they had to invent a much simpler version so they could.

england?

Yes. Too easy. Over to you Lugsy.

mr lugsy · Post by **mr lugsy** » Sun Mar 29, 2009 4:34 pm

only easy if you know the answer

it is indeed a favorite trick question in quizzes.

thanks H for making me look clever for a moment at least.

The Lake Pontchartrain causeway is the longest bridge in the world,sprawling an impressive 38.42km give or take the odd nanometre.

and on the 6th of may 1954 Roger Bannister was the first sub 4 minute miler ,everybody remembers this.

roger is heralded to this day for this feat,but his record lasted less than 7 weeks before it was creamed ,luckily for old Rodge not many people remember this, or do they?..............
