April Fools' Quiz #9

Shortest distance between Australia and PNG is 5km. Shortest distance between NZ and Australia is 1,700km.

Sorry to explain the joke, but I believe it's that many people think of NZ and Australia as two sister nations that are the only countries in that area of the world and don't think of PNG, which is acutally much, much closer to Australia.

Or your the one being played...

He's level 77 now

Torresian crow might

What do you mean...an African or a European crow?

This would be easy for a Torresian crow

Russel Crowe

New Caledonia has freakishly smart crows

So Einstein is German inventor.

Famously, an inventor with giant, sharp teeth.

I don't think where you die determines your nationality. We don't speak of the famous Frenchman and victor of Agincourt, Henry V, or the American revolutionary Alexander Kerensky, or the great St Helenian, Napoleon Bonaparte.

But Tesla is American. It was founded in Texas.

Says the guy who’s level 69

then they should put him on their money.

Look up the exact quote. Better yet, watch the video. He said what he said no matter how you try to spin it. And it was not a joke either. He really is that dumb.

This is a freaking April Fool’s quiz. How about we don’t make it a political dispute

That's how I remember it too. Disinfectant, not bleach. Not a big difference though. To be sure, I checked a video of the original press conference. Here's what he literally said, responding to a previous speaker: "Then I see the disinfectant, where is knocks it [the virus] out in a minute, one minute, and is there a way we can do something like that by injection inside or almost a cleaning because you see it gets on the lungs and it does a tremendous number [along?], so it'd be interesting to check that, so you're gonna have to use medical doctors, but it sounds interesting to me."

So while he never advised people to inject bleach, he apparently thought injecting disinfectant to treat Covid is an "interesting" idea.

@MarcellDAvis: That's the quote we needed. I would delete my comment, except that it would delete yours.

Marcell: fortunately we don't even have to rely on memory because we've got things called video cameras and can go look for ourselves and see that, yes, this is exactly what Trump said. In other words, to paraphrase because the man is not capable of speaking in coherent English sentences, he absolutely was endorsing the injection of bleach into human bodies to kill the coronavirus. Though at least he did throw in, as an afterthought, that perhaps doctors should be involved. That hardly makes the comment less ridiculous. Or vindicates those who would try to smear others pointing out how ridiculous and dangerous it was.

Didn't the Russians make him say "bleach"?

im very disappointed in this missed opportunity

Huh. That figures
