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

Sorry Bevis, long shot, but no. BTW, don't try looking for a Burger King in the golden triangle. I don't think it exists.

Sapilok is a stone's throw away from Sandakan Dedman, and it's the only 1 of 3 Orang Utan centres in the world. Make sure you wear belts and stuff, or else the cheeky monkeys there will strip you!

Quis, JB city centre, is a rather nice place with nice square streets and British colonial buildings... oh and Singapore buses!

Exnihil, I have no idea if there's a huge portuguese fort in PeeWee's Playhouse, but there is one in Malacca and there are quite a large number of people with portuguese descent living in Malacca.

Nope to all 4. Guess again!

d. Kota Kinabalu, the easternnmost state capital

(Just because, of those remaining, the description is the least enticing)

h. Cameron Highlands, known for its cool mountain air

Quis, Sapilok has been guessed previously...

And it's funny that the last few remaining cities have interesting names.

So we are left with Kuching, aka Cat city because Kuching = cat in the malay language. There is even a cat museum in the... well, actually it's 2 cities - Kuching North and Kuching South... and yes, I've been there.

Exnihil, Kota Kinabalu is also the City of the Chinese Widow in the native kadazan-dusun language. Legend has it that a Chinese widow lost her only son to the dragon atop what is now known as Mount Kinabalu (Gunung Kinabalu - Mountain of the Chinese Widow) in antiquity and until today, she grieves for him still... or something like that. And KK as the inhabitants call it is the gateway to the land beneath the wind (aka North Borneo). I've been there and I conquered the dragon mountain!

Shah Alam, or the King of the Earth in its persian (Shah = King, or commander) & arabic (alam = world or earth) name pays tribute to its religious heritage by housing the largest mosque in South-East Asia. I expected more from the place which was a letdown.

Labuan is an island off Borneo, and the name means "an anchorage". The pearl thing is just a marketing gimmick for the island which is rustic but rundown and is generally a disappointment... but it also has cheap booze.

Cameron Highlands is named after some British guy, and has a large number of tea and coffee plantations and stuff. There's a mountain resort as well, but the road is a long detour from anywhere, and because of that I've didn't get the chance detour there.

Ding ding ding. Quis is the winner. Sorry to the rest of you folks who haven't got the answer to the last few questions... but that's just the way the cookie crumbles.

Your question next Esquire!

Currently I am listening to which CD?

1) Cass Elliot Dream a Little Dream
2) Get Out - a compilation from Sire Records & Out Magazine
3) Carmen Sandiego Out of This World
4) Green Day Dookie
5) West Side Story
6) Pansy Division Deflowered
7) Midnight Oil Blue Sky Mining
8) The Beatles Yellow Submarine
9) Pizzicato Five Made in USA
10) Smallville soundtrack the Talon Mix
11) They Might Be Giants John Henry
12) Jesus Christ Superstar

Pansy Division, just because I've not even thought about them for years but you mentioning them makes me want to listen to them again.

And Bevis gets it from the get go. Breaking Novelty's string of wins.

Yay, only goes to prove I'm not being fed the answers Your go Bevis!

The fact that you felt it necessary to make that statement only makes me more suspicious. Where are the Legion World auditors!?!

Heh, didn't actually expect to get the answer quite that quickly.

Right, Chris (the hubby) has just broken something in the kitchen. What was it?

1) A dinner plate
2) Three glasses
3) His favourite mug
4) An almost full bottle of olive oil
5) A jar of coffee
6) The picture frame with us at Niagra in
7) My favourite mug
8) A dish
9) The pestle
10) His leg

5) A jar of coffee

7) My favourite mug

(That is to say, your favorite mug. He better not have broken my favorite mug, or this Chris fellow and I shall have words. )

Neither of those are right. Although he has broken both of those in the past.

4) An almost full bottle of olive oil

2) Three glasses

9) The pestle

6) The picture frame with us at Niagra in

Ok, this really is starting to look like a conspiracy since Quis has the right answer *again*. It was an almost full bottle of olive oil that smashed and went all across the kitchen floor (which luckily is tiled rather than carpeted). You're up again Quis.

Bevis, Don't you know I am always right?

It is getting harder to come up with good questions though.

OK Which big item am I planning on taking from my father's house?

1) My mom's chest of drawers with a vanity mirror
2) My dad's old desk
3) The oversized chair with a twin size bed folded into it.
4) My parents' double size bed
5) The dryer
6) The kitchen table and chairs
7) The gas barbeque grill
8) My dad's old car
9) Nothing, I have everything I already need

3) The oversized chair with a twin size bed folded into it.

I'll let you in on the non-conspiracy if you promise to let us have more questions about the upholstery and curtains in your house!

2) My dad's old desk

We have a winner and Novelty is.... not it.

My sister took the oversized sleeper chair.

I am taking my Dad's old desk.

Your turn Lance's realm.

Ok, here we go...

I am currently reading my whole comic collection in (more or less) alphabetical order. I have recently started reading the letter S. (This puts me about 75% through, by the way.) What was the first title in my collection that started with the letter S?

Sable?
