Pokemon....violent. Ok, well, I'll let you go with that. Your parent's choice is their choice.

Of course I know it's not violent by the standards of anyone who's watched stuff like LOTR, Jurassic Park, Pirates of the Caribbean, or basically any superhero movie, but I was a lot younger then. There's plenty of movies and TV shows that don't bother me now, at 21 years old, that I would cringe to show a 6-year-old.

@Delightful Obi-wan was played by Alex Guinness in the original trilogy and by Ewan McGregor in the prequels. Ian McKellen is the actor who plays Gandalf in LOTR and the older Magneto in the X-Men movies.

@Dankness Ascendant Unfortunately I have never watched or played Pokemon, so someone else will have to answer your challenge.

Darn similar names! I didn't even realise I knew the name of Gandalfs actor lol. 

Will find cute picture soon.

Oh yeah forgot about it lol. 

Well Ash has been beaten by quite alot of Leaders.

Blaine, Brock, Sabrina, Lt. Surge, Brawlly, Roark, Gardenia, Maylene, Fantina, Aunt Jemima and a couple of others.

WLIU- Name 4 books by Terry Pratchet

[little wilson she/her]

The Wee Free Men, A Hat Full of Sky, I Shall Wear Midnight, and Wintersmith

WLIU, name 7 characters who have been in more than one episode of Burn Notice.

[little wilson she/her]

Well, it's been a few days and no one's tried to answer so here's an answer:

Michael Westen, Fiona Glennann, Sam Axe, Jesse, Maddie Westen, Nate Westen, Agent Pearce

 

New question. WLIU, name 15 currently recognized counties in the United Kingdom. These can be counties in England or Northern Ireland, preserved counties in Wales, local government councils in Wales, shires in Scotland, or local councils in Scotland. (There are over 130 so this shouldn't be too terrible, especially not for anyone who lives in the UK or is even remotely familiar with the UK. I'm American and I can name almost all of them, so this should be fine. I hope).

[Sunbird she/her]

Uh, I think I can name a few.

1. Cork (Ireland)

2. Clare (Ireland, but not totally sure of spelling)

3. Liverpool?

4. County Down (from that song "Star of the County Down" lol)

5. Gloucester?

6. Athenry?

Most of these guesses are coming from my knowledge of Irish folk songs. XD

[STINK he/him]

Ireland isn't the UK though

[little wilson she/her]

Yeah, Republic of Ireland counties wouldn't count. The only counties in Ireland that would count would be the ones in Northern Ireland rather than the Republic of Ireland.

[Orlok Tsubodai]

Hampshire, Surrey, West Sussex, Wiltshire, Berkshire, Dorset, East Sussex, Oxfordshire, Kent, Somerset, Greater London, City of London, Buckinghamshire, Cambridgeshire, Warwickshire

WLIU, name 15 ships that fought at the Battle of Trafalgar

[little wilson she/her]

I think it's safe to say that no one's going to answer this. @OrlokTsubodai want to answer it and provide a new challenge?

[Titan Arum]

I'm going to jump in with a question for my geography lovers:

WLIU, what is the name of the driest non-polar desert? (i.e. don't include the north pole or Antarctica)  Bonus: what is the predominant country this desert resides in and what are the three adjacent countries that some geographers consider the desert also cross into?

I really should know this... I'm pretty sure it's in China due to the Himalayan rain-shadow. Is it the Gobi Desert? If so, I'm pretty sure one of the other countries would be Pakistan.

Nope, but good guess! Clue: It's on another continent entirely. 

[Kasimir he/him]

I would guess Atacama, but god help me, I don't know the answers to the rest D: I'm terribad at geography.

[Titan Arum]

Congratulations Kasimir! The Atacama Desert is the driest place on earth, despite being right next to the Pacific Ocean.

From south to north for the win! Good job little wilson. 

[little wilson she/her]

Kas' sultanates question killed this thread dead. To get this kicked off again, let's do something easy:

WLIU name 6 Cosmere planets
