What General forum doesn't have a General Knowledge quiz, well, now this one does.
In this thread General Knowledge questions will be asked and you, the ppl, must give answers. After this first question, the winner will be stated here and then will have to give a question; and so on and so forth. Please don't use the internet, cause where's the fun in that.
The author of the question has to tell people who guess whetehr they are correct or wrong.
Rules
1)If no-one gets the answer within 24 hours of it being posted then the person who set it must ask a new one.
2)If no new question is set within 5 hours someone else will have to set a new question.
3)If you find out the answer on the internet(i.e.Google,Wikipedia) then you can't enter.
4)If you answer a question, you will get a point, providing that you also set a question.
5)No points will be added to the setter's total if no-one answers their question (Because than you could just set a really hard question that no-one would get)

There are actually 2 names for this continent: Oceania and Australasia, not australia; it also includes new zealand.
By the way, i am going to new zealand tomaorrow for 3 weeks so sorry but no scoreboard updates for a while; but if someone wants to keep a running total, that'd be good.

I just nearly wee wee'd myself with that Animal Farm Q, reminded me of something years ago
Question on TV: Who wrote Animal Farm?
Me Shouting at TV: George Orwell
Conor: Dont be stupid
Guy on TV: George Orwell is correct
*Me with smug look on my face*
Conor: I thought Orwell was that green duck
