Haatu Posted December 5, 2013 Al, I just found out today that Somali songs have a meter which they adhere to like all other forms of poetry. I never knew that before. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

One of my hobbies is researching all things Somali. I would love to do the same thing Safferz does but for Somali but alas we make do with what we have. Talking about quizes, did you know I know nearly every capital city by heart? I've forgotten a few now but when we were kids me and my siblings would entertain ourselves by playing geography games. PS: Another interesting fact, the fourth night/day is called Foocaar. The person who is born on that day is said to be handsome/beautiful and will have lots of offspring. Tallow which of us was born on the 4th of a month? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Safferz Posted December 5, 2013 Nothing against Aussies, Khayr I'd love to visit sometime but from Boston, I'd be looking at 20+ hours of flying (I believe Sydney is a 14 hour flight from LA), and I can't stand being in the air that long. The 14 hours from here to the Horn is more than enough Alpha Blondy;989584 wrote: is that contractible? somewhat concerning, maha? check this interesting fact.......................Koalas are solitary animals that typically have a certain territory.

I don't think humans can contract it from them, but apparently it's a huge issue and contributes to their decreasing population. I'd *love* to beat you in trivia Alpha, I don't think there's any way to ensure no cheating if we find a quiz online to compare our scores, but you have my promise that I won't google anything I don't know? How about we pick one of the quizzes from Sporcle? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A doctorate in particular (which are super short in the UK, 3 years I believe) would open up a number of other career opportunities, and chances are a job in academia will mean a better income than what you have in mind now. Plus there's always opportunities to be a basaas back home for your foreign government, like SP I just think it's a shame to see a kid who is clearly passionate about a certain subject and has the intellectual curiosity to do it professionally worry about feeding his hypothetical family and end up studying something else!
