There was a follow-up question, ya dingus.

Also mascots are different to team names so the premise of the original question is flawed. Benny the Bull is the mascot of the Chicago NBA Team. The Gorilla is the mascot of the Phoenix Suns.

Embarrassing cheating is the mascot of the Patriots. At least I think it is because it follows the Patriots around in whatever they do.

Well, it was a pretty straightforward question, as evidenced by the immediate correct answer.

Perhaps you are trying to make it more complicated to self-justify not knowing the answer? Not to worry Sport, your whole generation still gets a participation trophy. We can even stop for ice cream on the way home.

Right, someone answered it correctly, so another poster asked a similar question regarding college teams. Not sure why this is a problem for you.

People are discussing a number of different questions on this thread. One was about pro teams with nicknames not ending in S. A separate question was about college teams with nicknames not ending in S.

For the record the answer is Samuel Beckett who won the Nobel Prize for Literature. He also attended Trinity College Dublin, which at the time he was playing cricket for them, was considered a first class team.

Another fun fact about Beckett: He was the only guy who won the Nobel Prize for Literature when writing works in a language different to his mother tongue, such as "Waiting For Godot" and "Vy ar Vee Surrendering Again".

Nice question. A bit of a follow-up ... The US and UK are first in the number of Nobel Prize winners by country. Name 4 countries who rank in the top 10 besides those two.

Not a really good Q. The obvious are the obvious.

Brazil? I think France has maybe a province nearby.

Yes, although it's not a province. French Guiana is part of France. It's not a dependency or province or protectorate or anything. It's an "overseas department" and is as much a part of France as Hawaii is part of the US.

Nice one - what is the only sea without any coasts? This might be a bit hard.

This might a better q- what country has the most coastline?

If it's the Sea of Tranquility then I'm going to smack you.

Who was the last US President to own a slave (there are two possible answers here, depending on interpretation. I'll take either one)?

The Scotia Sea is close (I had to resort to a map), as it's bounded on all sides by water, but there are islands there, so technically it has coastline. Is there some "sea" that has completely evaporated?

Yes, Saragossa Sea. But very nice try.

I am impressed that you put some effort into it. Kudos.

I am guessing probably Canada or Russia. But I will go with Canada.

Or maybe Antarctica - damn is that even a country?
