George Washington: Book Thief!

George Washington borrowed two books from the New York Society Library in October 1789 and has so far failed to return them! Adjusting for inflation, the fine now stands at about $300,000! Librarians uncovered this whilst digitising the records from that era! Although he never told a lie; George Washington failed to return his library books!

Your Monday questions are: -

  1. What song was adopted as the Australian National Anthem today in 1984?

  2. Television presenter Sue Barker (right) was born today in 1956 and won which Grand Slam Singles tennis title in 1976?

  3. What was the name of the first Soviet space station launched today in 1971?
Yesterday's Answers: 1. Jane Leeves; 2. Yankee Stadium; 3. RMS Carpathia

My book "The Easy Quiz Master"
is available NOW from Amazon and Lulu.
