Ask a Question!

Ever wondered something but didn't feel like looking it up? Or didn't know where to find the answer? Well post your question here! It can be about almost anything, like "How many hours are in a year?" "What are the names of the Ghostbusters?"
Get the idea?
Okay, but the one rule is that before you post a question, you must answer someone else's, one that was posted before, okay? I'll start.

What is the capital of the U.S.?

Heh, I didn't have those sort of questions in mind, lockeknows, I was thinking more of ones that people have wondered and want to know the answers to, but eh, okay -- Caledonia Ringgold, I think that's a town in Iowa.

Here's my next question:
Where is the Iberian Peninsula? I've heard of it, but I'm not sure exactly where it is. I'm pretty sure it's somewhere in Europe.

The Iberian Peninsula is South West Europe. Most of it is occupied by Spain, but it also includes Portugal on the West and Gibraltar to the South. I THINK Andorra is part of it, too, but I'm not certain.


After a Nuclear War, how long will it be before people can permanently leave the safety of their shelters?

You'd have to disable the alarm, wouldn't you? I dunno how though -- why are you wondering something like that, crzy dude?

Yes, Batman Begins is out on DVD (in the US anyway, I don't know where you're from, if only there was a way to indicate where you're from....)

How far away from a 1000 meter tower would you need to be in order for it to be hidden by the curvature of the earth, assuming the earth is smooth and the elevation is at sea level?
