looney_tunes Forum Champion Registered: Tue Jan 20 2009 Posts: 5976 Loc: Briar Hill Victoria Australia	Originally Posted By: LadyNym Hope you will forgive me if I thought of my birthday first . According to Wikipedia, December 15 is: Bill of Rights Day (US) - (Subcategory #10214 - Constitution of the USA) International Tea Day - (Subcategory #15887 - Tea) Zamenhof Day - (Subcategory #15136 - Esperanto) Then a couple of relevant birthdays: Nero - (Subcategory #8806 - Roman Emperors) Gustave Eiffel - (Subcategory #5860 - Skyscrapers and Towers) Some interesting options here. I am particularly inclined towards Zamenhof Day, since I learned something new from the suggestion. Even if the topic is pretty obscure, the blurb would be fun to write. _________________________ (Editor in Humanities, Religion, Literature and For Children) That's all, folks!

It is, but there are currently only 2 quizzes on Debussy. What category would you suggest we use on that date? _________________________ (Editor in Humanities, Religion, Literature and For Children) That's all, folks!

Suggest that next year, make "Classical Music" the topic of the day and mention these facts in the description.

looney_tunes Forum Champion Registered: Tue Jan 20 2009 Posts: 5976 Loc: Briar Hill Victoria Australia	I think Classical Music is used at another point. Neither Brahms nor Tchaikovsky has enough quizzes on their own to be used. Perhaps the blurb can be reworded to acknowledge them, as is done on a couple of other days with multiple birthdays. _________________________ (Editor in Humanities, Religion, Literature and For Children) That's all, folks!

looney_tunes Forum Champion Registered: Tue Jan 20 2009 Posts: 5976 Loc: Briar Hill Victoria Australia	Those categories have now been sorted so that there is an Elephants subcategory, and either of them can be used. It is helpful to get more than a single day's notice - August 12 is only a few hours away, so if the message hadn't been see, in time, there would have been a whole year's wait! _________________________ (Editor in Humanities, Religion, Literature and For Children) That's all, folks!

Sorry - I only realised late last night (UK time) and fully expected it to have to go on a list for another year. Thanks for doing it so quickly. :-) I'll have to go and play a duel now. _________________________ A schoolgirl answered the question 'In what countries are elephants found?'
