Kind of surprised no one has gone the al-whatever route for #10. Also, my handle pre-dates Gulf War I (though not the development of the Scud missile). ---

> [@labtrash](#): > > Is it just me or was this feud actually \*\*\*easier \*\*\*than the current Thanksgiving one? It’s easier than I thought it would be. I didn’t think I knew that much about the Middle East, but I wound up being able to answer all the questions without googling. I’m sitting out the Thanksgiving Feud, because it has too many numerical questions and too many multiple choice/yes-no questions for my taste. ---
