Al, I just found out today that Somali songs have a meter which they adhere to like all other forms of poetry. I never knew that before.

Did you know most koalas have chlamydia?

 

is that contractible? somewhat concerning, maha?

 

check this interesting fact.......................Koalas are solitary animals that typically have a certain territory. Males mark this with a scent gland that they rub against trees.

 

by the way i'm a quiz master. i've watched so many quiz shows. once applied for Mastermind.

 

is there a way for us to challenge each other fairly without cheating? general topics?

more interesting facts:

Anytime. One of my hobbies is researching all things Somali. I would love to do the same thing Safferz does but for Somali but alas we make do with what we have.

 

 

Talking about quizes, did you know I know nearly every capital city by heart? I've forgotten a few now but when we were kids me and my siblings would entertain ourselves by playing geography games.

 

PS: Another interesting fact, the fourth night/day is called Foocaar. The person who is born on that day is said to be handsome/beautiful and will have lots of offspring. Tallow which of us was born on the 4th of a month? :P

Nothing against Aussies, Khayr :P I'd love to visit sometime but from Boston, I'd be looking at 20+ hours of flying (I believe Sydney is a 14 hour flight from LA), and I can't stand being in the air that long. The 14 hours from here to the Horn is more than enough :)

I don't think humans can contract it from them, but apparently it's a huge issue and contributes to their decreasing population.

 

I'd *love* to beat you in trivia Alpha, I don't think there's any way to ensure no cheating if we find a quiz online to compare our scores, but you have my promise that I won't google anything I don't know? How about we pick one of the quizzes from Sporcle?

Why not study linguistics, Haatu? Martin Orwin is at SOAS, you know :)

I've seen the courses they offer and I would love to study there but a degree in Somali won't feed a family :D

I disagree completely Haatu, UK has a horrible economy for all degrees, at least as a linguist (or anthropologist, another area SOAS is great at and would allow you to study culture as well) you'd be doing something you love and contributing to knowledge about Somalia/Somalis, which is something we desperately need. A doctorate in particular (which are super short in the UK, 3 years I believe) would open up a number of other career opportunities, and chances are a job in academia will mean a better income than what you have in mind now. Plus there's always opportunities to be a basaas back home for your foreign government, like SP :P I just think it's a shame to see a kid who is clearly passionate about a certain subject and has the intellectual curiosity to do it professionally worry about feeding his hypothetical family and end up studying something else!
