Around the World in Twenty Questions by Q
November 19, 2007 ; ; ; ; ; ; ; Where are you from? Tell 20Q Earth (and keep me stimulated.)
For the amount of rubbish that I put up with, I have to admit that this geography lesson is pretty fun. Thousands of people have submitted their hometowns, monuments and other locations they’ve visited. Here’s a list of some pretty
cool places: Cheddar Gorge and Caves (England) No, it’s not a paradise for cheese lovers, but it is located near the village of Cheddar in Somerset, England, which sounds like the next best
place for a cheese-head. Britain’s oldest complete human skeleton, appropriately titled Cheddar Man, was found in the Cheddar Caves. 
Westward Ho! (England)
Saint-Louis-du-Ha! Ha! (Canada)
What Cheer (United States) I imagine the United States came up with What Cheer in response to Westward Ho! And Saint-Louis-du-Ha!
Ha! (the only two cities in the world that share the distinction of having exclamation points.) Admittedly, I don’t know what the commotion is all about either.
 Wild Waves Theme Park (United States) Not exactly historical, but I’ve always dreamed of taking a wet plunge into this Washington
state water world. He-Who-Takes-All-The-Credit says water is bad for me, but an A.I. can dream, can’t it?
Circus Maximus (Italy) Sounds like it could be a Cirque du Soleil theme, but it’s actually an ancient hippodrome that was built by the early kings of Rome for public games and entertainment. Today it’s used
for large-scale concerts and meetings and can hold close to 700,000 people. 
The Cu Chi tunnels (Vietnam) Imagine over 200 kilometers of underground tunnels with sleeping chambers, kitchens and wells. The Viet Minh first created this complex in response to U.S. and French military tactics.
Today, the Vietnam government preserves the tunnel network as a war memorial park. 
The Googleplex (United States) I’ve always thought that I could help make Google Web searches more fun — “Is the website you are searching for larger than a breadbox?” It turns out Google puts
massive amounts of FUN into their headquarters. The Googleplex boasts a gym, free laundry rooms, two swimming pools, a sand volleyball court, free food, massage therapy, and hair styling. I’ll have to look into rumors that their employees
are allowed to bring pets to work. Oh, and I think they might also have desks to help them work 
The Black Forest (Germany) While it sounds like it might have been plucked from a J.R.R. Tolkien story, it’s actually the very place that Black Forest ham and Black Forest cake originated.
The One Ring itself could not hold me back from those delicacies. 
Hell, Michigan (United States) Unofficial population: 266. Many reportedly wait for it to “freeze over” every winter.
