What is Nuremburg?
I only know that because I saw the movie with Spencer Tracy.

Wow, that was quick. Congrats Viajero. What is Nuremburg is the correct answer.

OK, smart person, please take a moment or two to explain to the folks why Nuremburg was the correct answer, as I am betting that some folks do not even know what or where it is, much less why it is the correct answer. chico

International military tribunal - really the first "World Court" - of Nazi war criminals.

Good on ya, viajero - well done. And Spencer Tracy was excellent in the film "Judgment at Nuremberg". As was Maximilian Schell.

And William Shatner for the Canadians. Richard Widmark whom I think is a better actor than given credit for.

Born in 1890, I was born in Devon, England the youngest of three children in a conservative, well-to-do family. I was taught at home by a governess and never attended school.

I became very good a creating games to keep myself occupied at a very young age. A shy child, unable to express my feelings, I first turned to music as a means to expression and later in life to writing.

I married a World War 1 fighter pilot at the age of 24 and while he was at war I worked as a nurse. While working in the hospital I came up with the idea for my first novel which I finished in a year, although it wasn't published until five years later.

I divorced my husband in 1926 when he told me that he had fallen in love with another woman. I was so upset by this that I disappeared and was found three weeks later by the police. I claimed to have lost my memory and never mentioned this time in my life again.

I re-married a young archaeologist in 1930 and I wrote over 66 novels in my career. One of my most enduring characters was often described as "meticulous, a tidy little man, always neat and orderly, with a slight flavour of absurdity about him". I also wrote numerous short stories and screenplays and a series of romantic novels using the pen name of Mary Westmacott.

Who am I?

I think you have to come up with answers not easily googled in order for this
game to be played online,personally I would never cheat like that but some of the other members might.

Or watched the Dr. Who episode with her in it. Or think of female author who was famous for disappearing. Lots
of other things in the clues he/she gave. Don't need to google this one just think it out.

OK...So I have no idea where this thread is going, so I'll lay my bit of trivia on ya...Remember a few years back all the gnashing of teeth & tearing of hair when Budweiser and their fortified crap got sold off to a European brewery?....Hadn't see so much wailing since #3 smacked his car into a wall in a Nascar race & offed himself. The little secret was...BUDWEISER NEVER WAS A GRINGO BEER. See: http://www.budweiserbudvar.co.uk/
If you've ever had a real Czech "Bud", you'll never drink the gringo crap again.

I dunno....I always thought Coors was Colorado River piss water. I've traveled around Europe a bunch & developed a taste for their beers...much more body & flavor (not including those bloody Brit Stouts, bitter molasses served at room temp)
Interesting point: The Czech's have surpassed Germany in annual per capita consumption of beer. When I visited my son's office in Prague for the first time 15 years ago, at 10 AM they sent the secretary down to get a tray full of beers!...beats the hell out of the Brits "afternnoon tea." Also, when Mexico wanted to develop a brewing industry, they went to the Czech's & Germans...Want A good Czech-type beer in Mexico? It ain't called BOHEMIA for nuttin...
