This seems to be a week of them... massacres :-(
First that insane act in Virginia Tech [Our heartfelt condolences to all those affected; there was a nice article in one of the newspapers - 33 reasons to ban guns in America; are the authorities listening?]
Then day-before-yesterday, SA pulverised England and to prove that they are no slackers, Sri Lanka yesterday got their A team minus Malinga to thrash Ireland.
Thank You, Ireland: For providing a refreshing approach to the game and more importantly a degree of amateurism to the game - sure to be lost once the heroes get into the counties and more stars flock to Ireland claiming Irish descendancy and wives and what not.
Now for the Can-You-Do-It-Without-Googling Trivia...
(Just to show that there is life outside cricket, however small! No points; Pure quizzing!)
Answer to yesterday's question: Barry Bonds - the (in)famous baseball player scored 737 career home runs and that 10% of Kilchipur's (a small town/big village in Madhya Pradesh, India) STD code (7370). STD stands for Subscriber Trunk Dialing similar to the area codes in USA.
Looks like it was a tough one. Several got upto the home run connection. But they could not make the STD connection except.... Anand Re! Brilliant work, mate!
Today's question:
- What are these associated with: Pimento, Poblano, Serrano, Dorset, Red Savina.
Your answers via normal mode of communication. Keep them rolling in.
Until the next one...
