Look like the forum quizzes have died a death.

Yeah.

This is sad. However, kudos to you, and to a much lesser extent, Doodoo, for starting this thread. You (Westerby, not Doodoo) provided us with the kind of challenges that kept dementia away for a few more weeks.

As I wrote, I knew if anyone picked up the obvious, it would be you Uncle.

Although it wouldn't have surprised me if Doodoo jumped in first.

But I would have been absolutely shocked if KP or dezzer gazumped everyone.

Perhaps the reason people are not trying to answer the questions any more has something to do with the questions being asked? A return to gen knowledge questions instead of specialist subjects only workers in that industry or complete nerds would have a scooby doo about might possibly help

It is interesting that he has the same name as the former long time dictator of Burma. Prem got him to withdraw his support for Thaksin Shinawatra which eventually resulted in a military coup and Thaksin's exile.

What is a Turducken

[Udon Map]

What is a Turducken

Deboned chicken stuffed into a deboned duck stuffed into a deboned turkey. Not all that uncommon in the U.S.

Ok, I have to ask ........ WHY?

When the duck finishes cooking, you will have already exceeded the max cooking time for the chicken and Turkey. If you cook the chicken or Turkey for the correct time the duck will be 5 or 6 mins per pound undercooked thats an hour undercooked for a 10lb duck

[jackspratt]

What is a Turducken

In my experience, a total waste of money.

[Doodoo]

Typical waste of space
