    		I always understood it to be a bloke called Phil who drinks in my local, but apparently it's on the Qiantang River in China.

    I can't find any other river with this claim mochyn. I got it from this site first of all.

    		The world's largest tidal bore occurred on August 18, 1993, in Hangzhou Bay, China. The bore was 9.14 m (30 ft) high, 321.8 km (200 miles) long ...

    This is according to the Guinness Book of Records.

    		I think stew and siskin should share the yay as annually stew is right but as siskin says the largest tidal bore ever recorded was in Hangzhou bay

    What is the worlds' largest herb?

    Where did the Worlds largest McDonalds open in 1990?

    I'm looking for the name of a TV mini series movie/show. We had rented them from the video store. It's about a boy who is traveling to different worlds looking for pieces of a machine to get him back home (I think.) He is gathering something along his way. He travels to different worlds with a "professor" and maybe another person. Along the way he visits 5-8 different worlds (each was a different movie.) They were all entitled "Somebody and the Land of ???" One world had to do with giant eggs, one world a town of toys, and the end was a land something like a fantasy "Camelot." My children watched these movies anywhere from 1988 - 1993. I'm hoping someone can help me end my frazzled search.
