I know the bonus:

FF's car took a wrong turn, and they got him. Even so, he bled to death because he was sewn within his uniform.

Yes

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.

rohirrim TR · 09-22-2005, 09:53 PM

gavrilo princip?

Mercutio · 09-22-2005, 10:22 PM

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.

Only just barely! Lots and lots and LOTS of school work

. It is quite fun, some of it, but it has a very strong tendency to eat a lot of my time up very, very swiftly

. This college experience is shocking me by the load of work. I'm trying boldly to keep up

.

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.

Lief Erikson · 09-24-2005, 11:24 AM

Bump!

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?

Count Comfect · 09-24-2005, 12:00 PM

USA, Russia, Japan, Germany, Italy, Canada, UK, France, in no particular order.

Russia and Canada weren't original.

Mercutio · 09-24-2005, 12:21 PM

Go ahead with a question if you like.

Count Comfect · 09-24-2005, 12:25 PM

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

Lotesse · 09-24-2005, 01:52 PM

Virginia?

Count Comfect · 09-24-2005, 04:46 PM

Nope... #10, I believe.

rohirrim TR · 09-26-2005, 11:49 AM

was it a southern state?

Count Comfect · 09-26-2005, 04:35 PM

No, it is in the North.

Lotesse · 09-26-2005, 04:39 PM

Are you referring to the Bill of Rights, C-Comfect?

The first ten ammendments? If just straight ratification, it was New Hampshire.

Count Comfect · 09-26-2005, 05:16 PM

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