No points, this is not true. He talked
about Iran.

- Misha of Reach for the Tap protested "the
Hippies" for two points -- this is what

occasionally but in all questions in this

is not about Brazil.

all of its 20th century art to the Reina
Sofia gallery so Guernica went there as
well. 1 point for Ralph
