tonyh29 Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 (edited) I'll fill some of serpente's gaps 2. Robin williams 6. Snake 7. Button Moon 8. Firefly 10. Citric Acid 21. Definitely isn't 50. That's its length. I'd guess at 25 25. Tittle (lolz) 26. Kubrick 28. I'll guess at lemur. I guess it might not mean relatively though, so that's probably wrong 30. I know Ferdinand got assassinated in June, so I'd go for that. War might not have started at that exact point though... 6 is a dog 29 - is Cassius Clay He nearly didn't go to Rome due to be frightened of flying , asked if he could go via boat and car ... but got talked into it at the last minute 30 - is July , it took a while for war to finally break out , Despite Germany's aggressive stnace it was almost as if nobody actually wanted it to happen , but eventually events spirled out of control 13 is England , surprised nobody knew that one oh and 30 fences at the GN think I knew about 19 of them , wouldn't have got giraffe though Edited April 1, 2015 by tonyh29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 giraffe does make a bit sense when you think how big they are, cant remember where id heard it logic after that to me would say something like a snow leopard, an animal that needs it for balance, id guess they are the longest in proportion to the rest of their body Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted April 1, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted April 1, 2015 (edited) I thought that was Lemur which is why i said it, even though I knew it was probably wrong because it didn't say relatively Edited April 1, 2015 by Stevo985 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
