Legion World Forums LEGION COMPANION Spaceopoly The "Know Your Legion Worlders!" Game!

I say number 4 is not true.

On the basis that 2 is completely counter-intuitive,... I say 3

2. Salsa, although now very popular in Latin America, actually originated in New York City.

I will say # 1, I think it is not the 3rd largest by population

#5, Just because...

We have a winner!!! (not difficult when there are five possibilities and five different answers...)

1. Colombia IS the third most populous country in Latin America. First Brazil, then Mexico, then Colombia. There are more Colombians than for example Argentinians or Peruvians (Brazil, Argentina, Mexico and Peru, are larger in area, though).

2. Salsa was invented in the 1930's (or so, I'm not that sure on the date) in New York City, by Puerto Rican and Cuban immigrants. It is certainly a Latin rhythm in the sense that it's (obviously) based on Latin traditions, but it really was invented in New York City.

3. There are very few regions of the world that use LESS spices in their food than South America. It's a common misconception, usually people think that 'southern' countries generally eat spicier foods. In the case of South America, that is not true at all. Mexicans do like spice in their food (tabasco, habanero chilies), but South Americans certainly don't, South American food tends to be on the bland side (it's delicious, though).

4. The tallest mountain in Colombia (almost 5000 m high) is about 50 km inland from the Caribbean Coast, in an isolated mountain range called the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta. That mountain range, the Sierra Nevada, is not connected at all to the Andes (it is geologically different, too).

5. San Andres and Providencia are two wonderful Caribbean islands, quite tiny, actually, that because of a historical accident ended up belonging to Colombia (it is easier to see why when you consider that Panama used to be part of Colombia). They both lie just off the coast of Nicaragua.

So, there you have it. SorM, you're next!

Hokay then...

Which of the following Sci-Fi-related TV shows have I never watched:

1. Farscape
2. Star Trek: TNG
3. Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy
4. Stargate SG-1
5. Red Dwarf

b. Star Trek TNG

Nope

Oh, I 'll say Stargate!

*ding-ding* We have a "winner".

Indeed, I have never watched an episode of SG1, nor do I have any pressing desire to.

KP's up

Even though I'm still missing at the moment, here's one...

Which is my favorite amusement park?

1. Cedar Point, Sandusky, Ohio
2. Six Flags over Georgia, Atlanta, Georgia
3. Busch Gardens, Tampa, Florida
4. King's Island, Cincinatti, Ohio
5. Universal's Islands of Adventure, Orlando, Florida
6. Disney's EPCOT, Orlando, Florida
7. Universal Studios, Hollywood, CA
8. Disneyland, Anaheim, CA

Well maybe I need to step in here and play the game.

I'm going to guess #5: Universal's Islands of Adventure, Orlando, Florida.

Cedar Point. Don't have a clue really, but that's as good a guess as any...

I guess King's Island, Cincinatti, Ohio

I know the answer.

(He voluntarily told me... in a moment of weakness. )

Scott, you got it!

IoA is, in short, the most incredible, completely immersive park I have ever experienced (and no, it's not because of Marvel Super Hero Island... but it helps.)

Each of the 5 islands is a masterpiece of theming. It truly makes you feel transported to the world of Dr. Seuss, Marvel, Popeye, Jurassic Park (just walking through those arches like in the movie...)

The food is the best I have ever had at a park, and don't even get me started on the rides... Dueling Dragons, a double coaster which comes to within 3 feet of each other... and the Sipderman ride, which is like nothing else in the world. Great place (though I do love Cedar Point too, and Busch Gardens...)

Anyway, you're up, Scott!

Oh, and HELP!

And it was my guess because that's where you and Lee got to go for your belated honeymoon.

Okay here's an easy one about me.

Who is my second favorite Legionnaire, behind Garth:

A. Element Lad
B. Saturn Girl
C. Chemical King
D. Invisible Kid I
E. Dawnstar

I know! I know! But I'll let someone else guess!

Chemical King

I knew that would be an easy one. You're up Vee!

Over the course of many years I've done (or been) a number of things. Which of the following have I NEVER been:

1) A High School Teacher
2) A Fratboy
3) A Mortgage Banker
4) An Elected Official
5) Gloria Estefan's dinner date
6) A High School Baseball Player
7) None of the above

You've never been an elected official. (I really want to hear the Gloria Estefan story, if it turns out to be true)

Juan

hmmm.. I will guess Fratboy just because Juan took my first choice!

I'm going to guess 7: None of the above. Vee gets around, don't you know.
