The Daily Feud: All Things Icelandic by WormtheRed [Game Over]

The Game Room

I hope WtR forgives me for my ignorance.

1: 1.2 million
2: 900
3: Tundra
4: Sheep
5: Denmark
6: 1800’s
7: Bjork
8: Geothermal heating
9: Rejkavik
10:No

For #7 I was about to answer “Worm the Red” but then somehow I recalled the answer I used.

Not sure about the spelling of #9, but you know the place I mean.

For #3 I must admit I was trying to recall details of landscape I read in Tom Clancy’s “Red Storm Rising” What I answered doesn’t make me happy, it sounds so, well, Ice Age. But it is Iceland, so what the hey.

    10 I’m guessing there’s a few living in the zoo :smiley:

I googled after I answered. Boy, do I suck at truthiness :smack:

33

Okay, I didn’t google. But I have a question: Will all spellings of “Reykjavic” count as … the same answer?

Also: I have no clue where I got the idea there are yaks in Iceland. I’ve visited Iceland. I didn’t see any yaks. Apparently nobody else thinks there are yaks in Iceland.

And these are the correct factual answers :stuck_out_tongue:

I’ll be damned if I don’t place well in this one.

36

Ha!

37

Nope, no yaks and no fermented yak milk. That btw sounds really yukkie but I still want to try it someday.
And it really is fun to read the answers from you guys! You seem to think there are quite a few more of us and that we’ve been independent lots longer :slight_smile:

38

There is a shoot on sight order for all Polar Bears that end up here. Too bad for them, but lots of fun for the local farmers who get to go polar bear hunting :smiley:

39

Based on your answers, I’m going to guess you end up in the bottom 10 at best. No one else has lavafields, earthquakes, or your correct answers to #2 or #6. FWIW you’d have done much better if you hadn’t banned Google answers.

Haha! [/Nelson Muntz]

40

Yeah, that’s probably right… but then again, it’s fun to see what Dopers really think of my dear island :slight_smile:
