Oldiesmann: Finally got the AmazonBot situation under control. I basically changed some server settings to tell AmazonBot that it's not allowed to access anything on the site. That should fix the speed issues we've been experiencing lately

I read that question:
11. Turkey's originated in which country?
and I was scratching my head on how could a country originate somewhere else than where it was!
The mystery of an apostrophe!

Thanks Chia for the great quizz and... my big laugh at myself.

Chia

Hi Bubble... I have a confession to make:  on the summary something did not look right so I deleted the apostrophe that was originally there for #11.. You can now stop scratching your head. :)

Chia

angel..You're welcome..

Joy

Thanks for that quiz, Chia.  I know you tell us that it is ok to "google" for the answers, but I still like to really think about the question before I resort to looking it up.  By the time I think a lot,  someone has come up with the answer.          lol

Joy

Chia

Joy..I only mention that it is o.k. to google the answers to give those  an option to participate whereas they would have probably dropped out because they did not know the answers... :)

angelface555

Something to think about while Googling. Invariably when I do so, it is always not the one Chia had envisioned.

Chia

angel...That's life... ;) ;)
