I got Lord of the Rings before I even bothered to read any of the questions

It's "Remember the Alamo!", not "Remember the Battle of the Alamo!"

Yes, but do you think they were asking people to remember the building? Santa Anna's cruelty during the battle there is what inspired so many to join the army of Texas and crush him in 18 minutes at San Jacinto.

Exactly! I thought this one didn't make sense.

What @platitude said. The building is not what's being remembered.

Plus, "remember the Alamo' was not a San Antonio event. We "remember" the Battle of the Alamo.

But nobody says "Battle" of the Alamo.

Quizmaster, why do you always use the @ symbol before user names when replying to comments? It's an extra key stroke for no apparent reason. In this instance, what is lost if you say "What platitude said." It adds nothing, or am I missing something?

I'm not thinking well this morning. I am terrible at capitals, but I was sitting here thinking, "I thought Brazzaville was the capital of the Congo. What African country is something of the something?"

Actually you're correct: Congo is the recognised short form of that country. Still, that wouldn't have fitted the -------- of the ------ clue though...

Level 48

isn't it Democratic Republic of the Congo??

Level 80

That's a different country. There are two Congos.

If I went round saying I was an emperor just because some moistened bint had lobbed a scimitar at me, they'd put me away!

Oh, but you can't expect to wield supreme executive power just

because some watery tart threw a sword at you!

Listen. Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony.

Weird, "Dr. Zaius's home world" doesn't accept "Earth" :-D

What does Dr. Zaius call it anyway? It's not like we call Earth "Planet of the Humans".
