just in time for halloween

i am still too busy to post properly or regularly right now, but i thought that i would post a link that i thought was pretty cool. hopefully it will give you some ideas of what to do with your pumpkin this halloween.... here you go. oh - and a quick quiz. this one even had ME stumped. answers will be in the next post, but in the meantime, post your guesses in the comments section...... 1. Name the one sport in which neither the spectators nor the participants know the score or the leader until the contest ends. 2. What famous North American landmark is constantly moving backward? 3. Of all vegetables, only two can live to produce on their own for several growing seasons. All other vegetables must be replanted every year. What are the only two perennial vegetables? 4. What fruit has its seeds on the outside? 5. In many liquor stores, you can buy pear brandy, with a real pear inside the bottle. The pear is whole and ripe, and the bottle is genuine; it hasn't been cut in any way. How did the pear get inside the bottle? 6. Only three words in standard English begin with the letters ' dw' and they are all common words. Name two of them. 7. There are 14 punctuation marks in English grammar. Can you name at least half of them? 8. Name the only vegetable or fruit that is never sold frozen, canned, processed, cooked, or in any other form except fresh. 9. Name 6 or more things that you can wear on your feet beginning with the letter 'S.'

[sorry for my bad Eng in advance]

1. boxing

2. Niagara

3. oh, they are so many ... but for several years could survive only a few, in my grandma's garden - asparagus. Know also about the artishok, capers, most of Mediterranean herbs and wild greens - nettle, sorrel, etc. Nobody plants them, right?

4. strawberry

5. pear ... i've seen a peach in a bottle with Bulgarian rakia and an apple in Rose Wine :) all they can ripen inside a bottle, i suppose, so when the fruit is very small, and promising, someone just puts the twig into a bottle. or might be not so easy?

6. know only dwarf ...

7. 14 ?!?!? i don't know so many in my mother tongue, anyway - full stop, comma, hyphen, quotes, exclamation mark, question mark, colon, semi-colon, apostrophy, ... three dots i mean

8. hm, medlar? if anyone can call it "fresh" actually :) avocado?

9. shoes, stockings, socks, sandals, slippers, sneakers

nice to kill some time here :)
