ladymacb29 Moderator Registered: Wed Mar 15 2000 Posts: 16214 Loc: The Delta Quadrant	There's a US cities quiz that I just took..One of the questions asks in what state Grand Island is located. The correct answer is given as Nebraska but one of the 'wrong' answers is NY! I wonder where I'm living, then if Grand Island, NY doesn't exist!! Hehe... maybe i'm in the river, going down the falls... ------------------ "Never have so many suffered so much so so few could be so happy." -Major Frank Burns _________________________ "Without the darkness, how would we see the light?" ~ Tuvok Editor for Television Category

Anonymous No longer registered	There's a Grand Island in Kentucky, too! It's up near Cincinnati. Was one of the choices Kentucky? Maybe the answer should have been 'all of the above.' Valerie Down River of Grand Island..... KY

It's one of the newest quizzes if you want to go check. It's the second question. ------------------ "Never have so many suffered so much so so few could be so happy." -Major Frank Burns _________________________ "Without the darkness, how would we see the light?" ~ Tuvok Editor for Television Category

Gunslinger Multiloquent Registered: Thu Sep 30 1999 Posts: 4761 Loc: Somerville New Jersey USA	The Category Editor needs to message the writer to find places with no Grand Island to use for 'wrong' answers. That would be tough, since lots of research involved. Good lesson here - the Q&A's can't be local knowledge based; must be written to include the global community we have here. Enough complaints and the quiz will segue into the 'limbo' queue. And I'm sure there are a great many states, provinces, territories and nations which have one, and from where complaints will come. I'm fairly sure New Jersey doesn't have a 'Grand Island', if that's any help, but that's not 100% certain either. ------------------ *Gunslinger* 'Slipping the surly bonds of earth, to dance the skies on laughter-silvered wings' _________________________ '..when you look long into an abyss, the abyss also looks into you.' - Nietzsche

That's why I stick to either government or TV trivia! ------------------ "Never have so many suffered so much so so few could be so happy." -Major Frank Burns _________________________ "Without the darkness, how would we see the light?" ~ Tuvok Editor for Television Category
