This is sort of a trick question.

Obviously the answer you want is Iran, but a minority of Arabs do live there.

And really the whole term 'Arab' is suspect because most Iraqis and Lebanese (and Egyptians, etc.) definitely do not have roots in Arabia, aside from language and religion.

Umm okay? Nice work detective. :)

Since when are countries with minorities of Arabs considered Arab countries?

I really don't know about this so I guess I won't comment, but I'd like to point out that simply speaking Arabic makes a group "Arab". "Arab" is really more of a linguistic term technically speaking, but the Arabs are for the most part somewhat related to each other.

Note: Not a joke question.

I'll guess France since their military history is really bad, and the only real war they one was the French Revolution...and that's only because the other side was also French!

Lol ::p:

BTW: What's up with your signature?

Excerpt from a private message by Argamemnon.


Anyway, here's the question:


In which country is it forbidden to bring bears to the beach?

A. Israel

B. Georgia

C. South Africa

D. China
Hmm, I don't think Israel or South Africa have any bears...

I'll go with China. I could imagine some Chinese guy trying to bring a cute little baby panda to the beach. Then getting arrested and having a PAP officer put a drill in his knee.

Mmh...
You should study history again... You will learn about WW1, Napoleon and Lafayette... (and it's just few examples...).
About the French revolution, Prussia tried to invade France to help the king and stop the Revolution, but they were defeated at Valmy...

You're probably right, my source was this in case you wanted to know where I got it from:

Text / The Complete Military History of France


It's probably not reliable since it was written for comedic purposes.




BTW: No one has gotten it right so far.
