Since this is the Table quiz forum, how about a thread where you ask a table quiz style question, and whoever gets it gets to ask another. Just like all those specific ones, except about anything.

I'll Start.

Meridian City

Ok then, a bit more specific:

It's the typical average mainstream city often used by politicians, demographers, market testers and successful acts on the Vaudeville circuit amongst others. 'If it works in ???? it'll work anywhere' or 'will it play in ???'

Lake Baikal. Russia.

somebody else ask the next question please.

Capt'n Midnight

What was the biggest freshwater lake seen by anyone ?

[edit]- sorry have to wait until the above answer is rubber stamped - even if it holds 1/4 of the all the freshwater and has seals n' things

Orion

I'll say Lake Superior. But they way you've phrased the question does not inspire me with confidence

[edit]Unless the Aral sea is freshwater. And seeing as it's used for irrigation I'm going to guess it is.

Yes, Lake Baikal in Siberia, Russia

Capt'n Midnight

No it's not Lake Superior.
Or the Aral Sea, offhand I can't remember if it was salty but it's now a lot saliter and a fraction of it's former size.

Orion

I only mentioned it because of your phrasing. It used to be the biggest lake in th e world but isn't anymore. I'll say Lake Baikal again then - and that's only cos I googled it

. It's the biggest by volume while Superior is the biggest by surface area.

Capt'n Midnight

Not sure about volume of liquid, but the one I'm thinking of had a larger area.
