    Default My first Guess = SELECTED

    Answer = Chosen People and use the 'S' infront of ELECTED which is also chosen people.

    If I'm correct, my question is what 6-letter word does this give : £51

    Default Is it something to do with Jewish faith ?

    I'll have to admit defeat, by the way the answer to my question was LIQUID

    Liquid - as it having sufficient funds
    £ = A British pound, QUID
    51 = LI in Roman numerals.

    I'll post the correct answer if it isn't supplied by the end of the weekend.
    Once again:
    The chosen people's chosen people (8 letters)

    Since no one answered, I guess that stifles the thread, so here's the solution.
    The chosen people's chosen people: Knessett. Ha ha ha!

    Default I was close !

    I did ask if it was something associated with the Jewish faith, so not even half a mark ?

    Just to check if this is dead or not -

    What English word(s) contains all 5 vowels, only once, and in the correct order ?

    Hi, Pete,
    You get half a mark for that. In reply to your question, will "Facetious", "abstemious", or "arsenious" (containing arsenic) do?
    Now for something completely different: Where does Peruvian balsam come from?

    Stuart Hector is wrong. Anyone else: Where does Peruvian balsam come from?

    From one website:
    Range: Guatemala, Mexico, Panama, South America

    From another:
    Peruvian Balsam comes from El Salvador.

    I'm glad I didn't answer immediately or it would have been Peru.

    As for Mr. Hector's question: you won't know the difference. Otherwise, it's all in the eye of the beholder.

    What connects Squirrel and Little Arrow? And what happened to Barker?

    Default Hmmm...

    You asked two questions. I will answer the later, what happened to Barker. Well I hope this is the guy your talking about, the Australian bishop which Barker College is founded? Well he died in 1952 from a heart attack. I think your talking about something/someone else but you didnt specify so i guess im right.
    My question: What is the westernised-chinese (in American, westernized) word for hopeless?

    HopeRess!

    Whats the longest word in the English language? (hint: it is 28 letters long, and I'll be damned if I can figure out exactly what it means...)

    Antidisestablishmentarianism, meaning "To oppose the breakaway reform church." For good measure, you could also try, "Floccinauhilipilification," meaning, "to estimate as worthless."

    Default Lat 38, 54" N Long 77, 13" W

    See http://www.islets.net/islets.html


    But from Encyclopedia Britannica...
    also called ISLANDS OF LANGERHANS, irregularly shaped patches of endocrine tissue located within the pancreas of most vertebrates. They are named for the German physician Paul Langerhans, who first described them in 1869. The normal human pancreas contains about 1,000,000 islets.


    There are 2 places in the world where you can travel 1 mile north, then 1 mile east, and finally 1 mile south and end up where you started. One place is at the South Pole, where's the other ?

    This one is hard to describe, please bear with me.

    Start from a position to the south of the north pole, such that when u move 1 mile north, a movement 1 mile east will cause a 360° change in longitude (i.e. you walk in a circle around the pole).
