Larry King Needs to Be Removed from TV

1996

For bonus marks: a Southeast Asian country changed its official name in English in 1989. Should I go with the governments of continental Europe, Russia, China, and Japan, all its ASEAN neighbors, not to mention the New York Times, and use the new name, or stick with the governments of the US, Canada, UK, Australia, not to mention the BBC and keep using the old name?

Yes it's Burma/Myanmar. You only win if you can make a case for one or the other so compelling, that it will convince those governments and news outlets on the other side to change their errant ways.

Next question: someone tells you they're Macedonian. Are you more likely to risk violence by assuming they're Greek, or from the former Yugoslavia?

You know, Istanbul was Constantinople -- but now it's Istanbul, not Constantinople.

Been a long time gone, Constantinople, but now it's Turkish delight on a moonlight night...

That's a tricky one. I'm not sure, but I'm fairly certain it can't be Chelsea, because that was named in honor of the former first daughter. Maybe it has something to do with the second Dutch-Anglo war of 1665-1667.

Not Queen Califa either, but royal none the less, I'm guessing.

i'll add that these aren't insignificant or little-known areas of ny. i'd put money on everyone on the board (+/- sebastian vonk) having heard of them.
