The chauffeur made a wrong turn and ended up stopping right in front of one of the conspirators, a 19-year old Bosnian student, who proceeded to shoot Ferdinand and his wife. I can't believe someone 1 1/2 years older than me assassinated two such people and helped to start a world war. And two of the other guys in on the job were only 17! This question still stands: What terrorist group was responsible? There's a specific name I'm looking for.

Yes that was the person. He was a member of the "_____ ____" though.

O.K., well since it's now "my turn," I propose we wait for Lief to come back and give us one of HIS questions. I think he may have wanted to be the one giving us the questions, I'm not sure but I think so. He must be busy lately with school and stuff, but he's bound to come back, and I'd like to wait for him, at least for like another day or two.

I have no problem with you all continuing to have fun posting and answering questions! Keep going. Waiting for me would kill the thread . I'll see if I can insert answers or questions every now and again, when I'm able.

Name the eight countries that are part of G-8.
Bonus: It started out with just six countries. What two weren't in it at the beginning?

USA, Russia, Japan, Germany, Italy, Canada, UK, France, in no particular order.
Russia and Canada weren't original.

The US Constitution came into force when which state ratified it? (Hint: the Constitution says that happens after 9 states have ratified).

Are you referring to the Bill of Rights, C-Comfect? The first ten ammendments? If just straight ratification, it was New Hampshire.

New Hampshire. Yes. Why are you so surprised? It isn't like anyone else guessed NH and I said no...
