Useless information? Nah…Fun information!
Well what with all the nationalist pride quizzes going on I
thought I would see who can get some questions that range
across the whole spectrum!

The American quiz I got most of the answers…missed the
stripes on the flag one. The Aussie and Scots one…I’m ashamed.
I’m from Canada…we get Yankee TV. up here.
Yeah yeah part of the Commonwealth, why the hell couldn’t I get
Australia and Scotland!
Ok these questions will be aimed at everyone and based more on
events that have affected the outcome of world history.
These are off the top of me head so I could be a little off. http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...miles/wink.gif

Just off the top of my head:

1. Babylonians (no idea really)
2. The First Olympiad (Olympic Games)
3. Romulus & Remus (allegedly!)
4. The Koran
5. Gunpowder
8. Magna Carta

Getting a bit modern for me after these, I can't remember the name of the Cambodian temple, but it's beautiful, I'd love to go there!

(Edit: NUTS! Cavern Sniffer just beat me to it on some of these answers. It is Angkor temple, I'm pretty sure of that now you have reminded me CS!)
