1. If all I could see from where I stood were three long islands and a wood, what would I see if I turned and looked the other way? youā€™d see: three long islands and a wood. you turned (180 degrees, I assume) and looked back into the direction from where you started. ---

I donā€™t know folks. Although his craven appeal\* to Uncle Beer did not seem to bear fruit, there is a good deal of head way being made against the answers to these questions. I think heā€™s going to make it. \*It also displayed an utter lack of knowledge when it comes to proferring a bribe as well, pretty pathetic for a member of the landed gentry.

#1) Correct, although there seems to be some dispute about Kobeā€™s first name. Since FoodTV agrees with you (Fuji TV doesnā€™t, per the Iron Chef book), Iā€™ll accept the answer. #4) Correct. I was looking for J. Thunder. Iā€™ll ignore all the extra people you included, out of the goodness of my heart (some of 'em werenā€™t created for decades after All Star #3 (Power Girl, for one didnā€™t appear 'till All-Star #58 (1976-ish), Commander Steel was 1977-ish (and wasnā€™t a commander when he first appeared) and Capt.

Nope, the .45 was fine too. I expected that to be the one that no one got. Letā€™s go at this from the other direction. Iā€™m not aware of a .22 Magnum ever being used in a Luger and certainly not from the factory. If there was, show me! Fenris ---

I keep running across mention of a ā€œLuger in .22 magnum caliberā€, and it is why I put it on. I cannot find a picture, of an in depth explination, so I will drop the claim of it.
