Totally off base here, but I'm curious if you, Quizmaster, listen to the podcast Trivial Warfare. I ask because I literally just heard 3 of these questions within a few episodes. Maybe it's just coincidence. Also, if you don't listen to it...you should start.

Interesting indeed :) but when I look it up it gives me water caltrop not chestnuts. Btw water caltrop nuts look nuts, like bats! and I don't mean batty haha.

Hmm nvm I see that water chestnut is a synonym for water caltrop. but not to be confused with chinese water chestnut.

Technically Germany didn't attack Finland but did fight against in Finns on Finnish soil in Lapland War. The Germans retreated in Lapland using the "scorched earth" method, attacking and burning down the largest city in Lapland, Rovaniemi, for example. And yes, Soviet Union certainly did attack Finland even though I'm not sure if they ever admitted it directly.

Npredella has asked for Dublin!

I read that just before asking for it myself.

So that makes at least 2 of us that believe

Dublin rhymes with Merlin.

I think it is the last syllable that makes the rhyme.

Rhyming is based on the vowel sound of the stressed syllable and everything after it. Merlin and Dublin both stress the first syllable, so Merlin rhymes with words that end in “erlin” and stress the “er” syllable. Dublin rhymes with “ublin” words, which are none, I believe.
