    Wexton
    Walton
    Whedon

    It was a super preppy sounding name.

    EDIT: Jesus, just looked it up. Such a generic name, but dont think id get it short of continuing throwing together similar sounding names as above...

    Some nonsense about people being tetchy during Ramadan due to fasting and being off the fags etc.

    It would have to be Vatican city as surely no one can be born there.

    Unless we count self-declared micro-state like that disused oil rig (can't remember what it's called).

    I'll ask another question about her, or I'll have forgotten it by the time I manage to get another answer right.

    In what other very popular TV series did that actress play a part, and what was the peculiarity of her character? (I know it's vague, but I can't phrase it any better at the moment without giving the answer away).

    Anyone?

    She was in Heroes and could do something with soundwaves. Pretty sure she is a common tv actress though, so this could be any number of shows. (she always pops up in CSI/Law and Order type shows)

    I'll take my turn on the basis that the Vatican was the right answer.

    What country consumes most wine per capita than any other country in the world?

    That's the answer I had, but it's information thats a few years old so it might have changed. They used to be near double second place tho so I assumed it was still the case.

    Either way, your turn.

    OK the word 'consumes' makes a difference. The answer to which country 'gets through' the most wine is Andorra, however since this produces irrational figures - the entire population is stoned the whole time - then it seems reasonable that a lot of it is being sold to its fairly considerable tourism industry, who would not count in the 'per capita' calculation. So, accidentally, I am right. Question coming up...
