how many aussies actually know how to spell Kosciuszko correctly>?

It is incorrect spelling to begin with. Kosciusko is wrong.

 

[nzhumpy]

Mountains?

 

[stirk]

Yes I think the guys are onto something here,it's a volcano on an island can't remember the name of it, middle of nowhere South West of Perth

Close, as my question included territory's may exclude the mainland.

WTF!
If you are telling me that I have it wrong, at least spell the correction correctly!

 

[Freediver]

They changed it's spelling back in the 90's because of the original error misspelling the name of the bloke it was named after.
Kosciuszko is now correct

 

[fatboyonabike]

thankyou for correcting that correction, I stand corrected!

How does Kozi feel about this?

I was at a bar in redneckville and a guy asked for a couple of those Polish beers meaning Kosciuszko. The girl serving him said ah some southern brew. The guy was confused and genuinely had no clue it and they were Australian.

I work with a fellow in his late 50s. He is a top fellow and hilarious to work with, but he is also a bit hard of hearing. He has spent a long time in the engine room on large ships etc. Anyway he came to me one night in the heat of opening bottles and asked "what's a Kosciusko and do we sell them?" it's a beer and no we don't, recommend an Angry Man (that's the only pale ale we have, strange I know). He comes back at the end of the shift and tells me the customer was actually after a coneisuer ice cream, something we have plenty of. Strange that this fellow had misheard for a beer he didn't know existed.

You think that would stop him being pissed feeldiver?

I reckon after a few worms have wriggled through your brain thought has probably stopped.

OK, this one died. The answer is Mount McClintock, around 3500m, and is part of Antarctica claimed by Australia. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mountains_in_Australia

New question! What is the unit of intensity of a chilli pepper?

 

[PINT of Stella. mate!]

Scoville
...

 

[Binaural]

Scoville
...

Bingo! Measured by diluting the chilli with sugared water until the threshold of detectability is reached. Some of the most intense peppers have a Scoville score that would get them slapped with export controls.

Mt Mcuntock. I was close!

Whilst we're on the subject of chilli peppers, from which (vastly superior) band did one-time Red Hot Chilli Peppers guitarist Dave Navarro originate?
