19 out of 20 on cows. didn't do well identifying them, though. They all looked the same -dressed in cow clothing and with sharp pointy teeth :lol:
Haven't tried ducks yet.

so did you do anything exciting on your national day ?

I did a nice biking tour (around 70km), bought some fuits from the local farmers (mmmhhhhhhhhh), saw a snake and a few storks and didn't take any photos (didn't take my camera with me :o )

At one point, I stopped to look at the map and the cow in the neighbouring field greeted me with the best MOOOOOOOOO you can do :lol: I had to think of all of you ;-)a

Now, I'm gonna eat something and off to the fireworks...

the aninal test gave me...

Congratulations. (You passed The Animal in You Test.)
You are either a Gorilla or a Porcupine personality.
But you may also be a Bison personality.

which is totally wrong! I don't correspond to any of these descriptions (the only right bit is that porcupine may have photography as a hobby)

Anyway, everyone knows that I'm a bear!!! So beware!!!

My family calls me a fuddy-duddy at birthday time. I look at it as just another day, and one that I prefer not to recognize.:lol:

BTW, these quiz's are rigged. I managed 7 for 10 on the ducks, but the cows:evil::oops:

Theres brown cows, black cows, black and white cows and just cows. And how can a cow with 4 stomachs only eat 45 minutes a day.

18/25 (the breeds are 9a-9f, so even though last Q was #20, there were 25) on the cows.
5/10 on the ducks.

Do we have any experienced GPS users around here ?

I got a coordinate S 18 6'57.56" E 21 40'10.20" which I want to add in the Garmin Mapsource software but it expects the coordinate to to look something like this S19.60950 E16.39283

Do I just enter it like this S 18.65756 E21.401020 ? (The number of digits does not match in the E part of the coordinate)

No, the numbers don't translate that easily. Let me find an online converter for you...

You might also check to see if there's a preference for working in degrees, minutes and seconds or decimal degrees. Oh, and IIRC South Lat. and West Long. are negative . . .
