Okay, here's the deal. The first person to find these 20 things online (and post links or direct quotes +urls here) wins a whopping 500 Gems, and general braggin rights. Some questions have multiple answers, arguably. I'll take any of them.

Remember, you must find sites. You can't just spit out answers.

1. The Average Rainfall of the Amazon Basin
2. The length of the Nile River.
3. The First Female Pharaoh (hint: Not Cleopatra!)
4. The length of the Peloponnesean War.
5. The original size of the Supreme Court.
6. The tallest mountain in the U.S.A.
7. The country with the largest land mass.
8. The #1 Pop Song of 1988.
9. Susan B. Anthony's Birthday
10. The Population of Tokyo (as of 2006)
11. The deepest spot in the Pacific Ocean
12. The last Emperor of China during the Han Dynasty.
13. The world's most expensive mansion.
14. The official LAPD site.
15. The first Monty Python skit aired on Flying Circus
16. The current Emperor of Japan.
17. The capitol of Yemen.
18. The world's longest road.
19. The 18 President of the United States.
20. The oldest province of Canada.
