    Chocolate sponge, if you would.

    This question may be a bit out there but you never know...

    Who was Mazer Rackham? Or from where would he be known?

    That's completely wrong and I know it, but for some reason reading that name made me think of Evel Knievel...

    (Also, your cake is currently baking, please continue to hold, your call is important to us)

    These scifi and fantasy questions are right up my (ex-book seller) alley. :)

    Mazer Rackham was a character, a military leader in Orson Scott Cards series of books starting with "Enders Game".


    What car marque featured a viking longboat?

    I'm older than Minecraft goats.

    I have no idea what the Lada marque is. However it's not the one I'm thinking off which was much more common in UK and Ireland.

    EDIT: Just checked and yay the Lada marque is indeed a boat. Never knew that. My apopogies for presenting a question with multiple answers.

    As the Lada does indeed have a boat I proclaim New Home the victor. Well played Sir.

    I was thinking of Rover.

    I'm not certain the boat on the Lada logo is a Viking one... but I'm certain I'm not a Sir. :D

    An easy one - what's depicted on the curtains in the Simpsons' kitchen?
