    Q1: He lives in the southern hemisphere so during our summer he is experiencing winter and vice versa.

    Q2: Simple, he's Jake the Peg

    [video=youtube;GS-itkO9ia8]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GS-itkO9ia8[/video]

    Q3: That's commonly referred to as a home run :p

    Q4: It's a skydiving/parachuting race, first to the ground and all, so the extra weight helped with her descent

    Q5: Lots of things unique about the number 40 in maths, but I think you are more interested in the word forty and the fact all it's letters are in alphabetical order

    Q6: Because it was a book about the impossibility of writing a book for someone with no experience.

    Q1. He is a farmer who uses the coat on a scarecrow in spring and summer to keep the birds away from his seeds and plants.

    Q2. The man was the Russian leader Nikita Khrushchev. At a heated meeting at the UN, he appeared to take off a shoe anf bang the table with it in a display of temper. It was a prepared act - he had taken an extra shoe with him for that purpose.

    Q6. Ernest Vincent Wright wrote [I]Gadsby[/I], a book of over 50,000 words, among none of which occurred the most common letter in the English Language, [I]e[/I]. However a careless printer put the author's name on the title page. Since the name contained three e's, it rather spoiled the effect.[/SIZE]
