    Sunday Morning Belgium Trivia!!

    Good morning and welcome punters.

    This week I will offer a couple of Mego Museum Cards (as yet undisclosed and may be negotiated), to the winner. The Judges decision will be final.

    If Thomas wins. . . .I will finally send him the Batman T-shirt I bought for him last X-mas. . . . .Maybe. . . .

    Several Questions. . . . .No Google, Wikipedia or Web Searches of any kind please. . . . As Per Mitch's Wed Morning Trivia (TM/Copyright).

    QUESTION 1: In what year did Belgium host the Olympic games?

    QUESTION 2: Victor Boin, Begiums' very own sporting hero won an Olympic Medal in what event?

    QUESTION 3: Postel Abdiji & Affligem Abdij, are examples of WHAT? Bonus question for a 3rd card. . . .In what way do they resemble Thomas other than being Belgium?


    QUESTION 4: Who is the Begium in the Picture? More of the picture will be shown if required.

          2. Hero is stretching it, but waterpolo
          3. Abbeys where they brew beer. Bonus question I have no idea. The guys brewing the beer have no hair?
          4. Kim Clijsters or Justine Henin

              Victor also got a medal for fencing I believe, but you didn't say to list them all
              Pic is Wickmayer?

                  What do Thomas and those abbeys have in common?
                  They're both devoted to their passion, one being religion, the other being 8 inch action figures.
                  Monks have hair on their chins, and a little less on their heads!

                  Still think that pic is Hennin.
                  .

                    It's Clijsters


                    Henin is sponsored by Adidas, didn't pay attention to the cap before

                        I forgot to add. . . .No correspondence shall be entered into. . . .hence after much debated discussion between the judges. . . . Thomas Belgium's Ba(t)d Boy Meule, has been declared the winner on a minor technicality!

                        I guess it was always gonna go down this way! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

                        Now I gotta send you that T-shirt! And see if you need any cards!

                        NEXT Begium Question then:

                        Internationally Belgium and the USA are ranked equally 11th in the world for this activity, which has 44% of their populations engaged in. What activity is this?

                        See you guys in about 6 hours. . .am off to bed.
