Subject: Cover Up -- Quiz Quilt 218 Puzzle
Although the incident occurred over five years ago, last week Jesse
Ventura was still raving at the U.S. government for covering up the
actual cause of Pat Tillman's death in Afghanistan. Initial reports
claimed that his unit was ambushed outside of Sperah, but the
embarrassing reality was that two allied units accidentally shot at
each other.

[Do you think all these Quiz Quilts are just a cover up for a secret
message passing scheme? Nothing I say here can change your mind, but
here's all I know: http://triviawhys.com/QuizQuiltRules.html]

[ Geography & Nature ]
What country's flag is almost identical to Puerto Rico's except for
the colors?

bronc-riding, bull riding, calf roping, and steer wrestling?

was.  musta been all that rain down in florida.  <insert cheap shot

Well, it's not QUILT...

Robert Jen:

> Who founded the Reform Party in the U.S.?

Hmm.  Is that LAROUCHE?

> In June 1999, what arthritis pill passed Viagra as the

CELEBREX?

> In what country does "For Whom the Bell Tolls" take place?

SPAIN?

> What country's flag is almost identical to Puerto Rico's except for

Hmm.  Somewhere in Central America, I think.  I don't think it's
PANAMA; COSTA RICA is two words.

> What professional sport consists of bareback bronc-riding, saddle
> bronc-riding, bull riding, calf roping, and steer wrestling?

RODEO.

> What British singer's first number one hit was "Maggie May"?

No idea.

No, wait, it's PEROT, isn't it?

Hmm.

Maybe SPAIN is wrong... ah, TOUPEE, appropriately reading upward.
(And SPAIN fits after all, I just missed that _O_PEE could be a word.)

So the flag country must be CUBA, and STRUNK is a name that fits.

Hmmm, I think you mean blase (with that doohickey on the 'e' if you
prefer).  I've never heard that pronunciation, but I can see it.
