ryansgirl319 0 Posted February 22, 2006 Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 Damn #1. No love for Falco anymore? If Carl meant German to mean the singer's nationality (rather than the language the song is sung in) Falco was Austrian Link to post Share on other sites
daslied 1 Posted February 22, 2006 Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 That's a good point, but I was thinking they meant language. Oh well, my string of 9's is intact at least. Link to post Share on other sites
Carl 22 Posted February 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 Falco was definitely borderline. It didn't effect the outcome however. The Muslim question still bugs me. That was a great stumper if we phrased it better. Link to post Share on other sites
daslied 1 Posted February 22, 2006 Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 Falco was borderline on many levels. Carl, I liked the Muslim question. All 3 were rappers, so how else could you have phrased it? Other than "Which white rapper...", but there are only two. Link to post Share on other sites
