No I actually knew that about Torpenhow. Mount fuji was an educated guess.









Honest

 

And we have a round where Fatburt not only gains points, but doesn't lose any

"Fuji" means mount, so you get Mount Mount Yama.

it's like the rivers. Like River Avon. Avon is the Celtic word for "river," But the River Axe, the River Esk, the River Exe, the Rive Uz, the River Tyne, the River Humber all mean "River River". But the "Paraguay River" means "River River River". "Genesee River" is "Big River River River". Lake Niassa means "Lake Lake", as does Lake Dahl, in India. The Sahara Desert means the "Desert Desert". And Boutros Boutros Ghali means "Peter Peter Expensive".

Out of all the lakes in Canada, which is the largest? (not including depth)

 

So we're purely looking at surface area then?



The great "lakes" of canada also stretch into america. Are you using the Arbitrary straightline border to discount the American side?

 

Don't they have a lake in Canada the size of France?

 

Ooh, Fatburt is treading carefully now

 

I'm not stupid you know.


I also know my geography (ish)

Points filletting knife at the fishy one

 

That largest lake in Canada is the one that's bigger than all the others.

 

Perhaps I should have posted this in the Canada forum

 

Great Bear Lake perhaps?

Although Lake Superior is also huge, but not entirely within Canada, so yep, Great Bear Lake
