You are not getting paid, and I am not getting paid. And what do you care, you got them both correct.
I am limiting it to two but doing more than one, just to get more people in on this thread. But ok, if it means that much, I will do only one for now on.
But the rules are, once you get it correct you ask a new one. So your turn.
An aside though, back in college I saw a soliloquy of Medea on video, cant remember the actresses name, but damn that is one hell of a long play, and talk about her acting, and the shear amount of lines in that one play for one person.
Just read your question so, if others get it before I do, they win an get to ask the next one.

I know it's my turn. I asked my question. If you weren't so busy putting in multiple questions of your own, you might have time to read the posts in your own goddam thread.

I know, sorry, I missed it.
But to answer your question,
The answer is, "suspected victims of Jack The Ripper."
And on a related note, what city did the famous "40 whacks" murder suspect murder her parents in? Name gets extra credit.
And this thread is for everyone, not just two people. It's all in fun.

Google isn't being kind to me. It has to be some sort of hot or cold record for that country that time of year.
But the good thing is that I did stay at a Holiday INN Express and New Zealand is the country the si fi fantasy show Xena Warrior Princess is based upon.
I only found this, and like a typical American I cant translate numbers.
So my best answer is....
The answer is, "IT WAS FUCKING HOTTER THAN NORMAL"?

Damn it, unless in involves Lucy Lawless, I got nothing. I do for her, but that was too much information wan't it?
My only other guess if we are talking weather would be a tornado occurring.
The answer is a tornado?
