It seems like the old trivias are getting, well old, and so I thought we could try a new one.

Rules as always:
Don't pose a new question until the answer you've given to the last one id confirmed to be correct.

Also I like to point out that Geography doesn't have to be about what city lies were. I think we could mix in a great deal of history and other crossover topics, just as long as the core has to do with a geographical location. OK?

I will go first even though I can't say that this is a topic I am very good at.
I think I'll give an example on how a "geographic" question could look like.



What does the stars and the stripes featured on the American flag represent?

Shouldn't be to hard...

The 13 stripes represent the original 13 states.
Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Georgia, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Maryland, South Carolina, New Hampshire, Virginia, New York, North Carolina, and Rhode Island.
The stars represent each current state.

Aye, the thirteen stars are for the colonies.
The white is for liberty, and the red is a reminder of the blood shed to gain that liberty (though much of the blood spilled was that of the original tenants)

KJB gets the floor since I only asked about the actual stripes and not the colors. It was nice learning about the coloration though.
Go ahead KJB

There are 5 airports in the Toronto area, What are they and what are the codes? Bonus points if you know the city code.

Good luck

That sure is a tough question to answer, I've got City Center (YBZ), LB Pearson (YYZ) and Toronto Island Airport (not sure about that one) so far.

manneman-LB Pearson is correct but sorry YBZ is not center city, although it is a code for one of the other airports.

madhtr-all you answers are correct so for but you still need two more.
YTO is the city code and there are 5 airport codes on top of that.

yes YZD is Downsview. One more

[SIZE=1]Well, when I looked around to see if Topper was correct (since I didn't know the park, just the island) I found out that my original source was wrong...so...apparently both Gabriel and Topper are absolutely right. >_>

Not sure what to do with the floor, you two fight over it.[/SIZE]
