Phoenix 46- Monty's Shirt

[Cardinal Sin]

Nope.

Another person died in the attempt. 7 others gave up when they realised how fecking stupid it was.

[Istenem]

the atlantic?

[Weyland]

North Sea?

[Flying Spaghetti Monster]

The Meghna River in Baglidesh? (worlds widest river @ 12km some seasons)

[Cardinal Sin]

Nope. It wasn't so much the length of the swim, more the huge undercurrents and whirlpools involved.

Big clue. I was over it the other day.

[Istenem]

bermuda triangle?
niagara falls?

[Cardinal Sin]

I'll give you it, despite your double guess. It was actually just downstream from the Falls on the Niagara River. Stupid chump (Webb, not you).

Over to you, Squelchy (why Squelch?)

[Istenem]

SQUELCH is just a nice word so i chose it.

okay, in china, people routinely carry umbrellas (or parasols if you must) when the sun is shining because they don't want to get a tan. why not?

[Northern Monkey]

Something akin to a caste system where fair skin is seen as sign of better breeding a la India?

[Istenem]

you are on the right lines but a bit vague so i can't give it yet.

[Flying Spaghetti Monster]

Isnt it something like pale skin showed a person could stay indoors all day and not be a labourer out in the fields (like a sign of being upper class)

[Istenem]

i'll give it to Rob, basically if you had a tan it meant that you work in the fields and are therefore a peasant.

What is the largest beetle in the world (insect not the band)?

[Istenem]

goliath beetle?

[Flying Spaghetti Monster]

correct

(I would also have accepted Titan and Rhinoceros beetle as arguably these can be the same size)
