Name the ship that carried Capt. James Cook (1728-1779) (above) to the Pacific Ocean.
Which trip? He went 3 times on two different ships.
If you're gonna set a crap question at least make it clear. 
Do you want HM Bark Endeavour (used on the first voyage) or HMS Resolution (Used on the second and third)? |

Why did you delete your post...... 
Then re-post it again
We all saw the question 
Was it just a lame attempt to make us notice it
We were just waiting until we were bored enough to answer it
Here is the answer........
It will be number 1
And I have posted another 9 FA cup facts as well 
 Sorry about number 2 Fraidy 
1. Who has won it the most times?
Manchester United have won it 11 times. Next come Arsenal, who've won
it 9 times.
2. What is the biggest win in a Cup Final?
Bury beat Derby County 6-0 in the 1903 Final.
3. Has it been won by a team from outside the top division?
Yes, several times. The last Second Division team to win it were West Ham
United in 1980.
4. How many different trophies have there been?
The current one is the fourth. The first one was stolen and never found,
the second was presented to the FA President and the third was replaced
after 80 years of 'wear and tear'.
5. Who are the top giantkillers?
Yeovil Town, who now play in Football League Two, beat 20 Football
League teams when they were outside the League.
6. When did the Cup start?
The first competition took place in the 1871-72 season. 15 teams entered
and the first winners were Wanderers.
7. When was the first Cup Final played at Wembley?
1923. The first Wembley Final had an official attendance of 126,047.
8. Who was the last player to score a hat-trick in a Cup Final?
Stan Mortensen was the last - for Blackpool against Bolton Wanderers in
1953.
9. Which player has the most winners' medals?
Arthur Kinnaird (Wanderers & Old Etonians), Charles Wollaston
(Wanderers) and Jimmy Forrest (Blackburn Rovers) each had five.
10. Which player has scored the most Cup Final goals?
Ian Rush scored five for Liverpool - two in 1986, two in 1989 and one in 1992.
And as you saw in question 4 that trophy isnt the same one the has been
won by ManYoo the 11 times they won it |

The Okapi is closely related to the giraffe
Also Called the Forest Giraffe
There are an estimated 30,000 okapi living in the wild.
 
The rain forests in northern Zaire are the okapi's main habitat.
The okapi has a very long tongue which it uses to pull leaves off of trees.
Males have two skin covered "horns" on the forehead that develop
between one and five years of age.
The okapi has a lifespan of over 30 years.
The existance of the okapi was first confirmed in 1901 in the Congo.
The Okapi weighs about 450 to 550 pounds.
About the same weight as this.....
Okapi are ruminants (like cows) which means that they swallow their food
without chewing it and then regurgitate a partly-digested "cud" which they
chew and then swallow for the last time.
The okapi is a nocturnal animal, which means that it is mostly active at night.
While the okapi is related to the giraffe, it is not as tall, standing only about 5 feet tall.
