Bird’s Eye: Oh boy, oh boy! It’s quiz time! We have three quizzes: identify the world leader who achieved…uh… quite a lot. Maybe. “Who said what”, an excellent (and horrifying) political quiz to test how well you know your heroes (your editor got 31/49) and a beer label quiz (your editor got 13/15). (Your editor should have spent more time on politics and less on beer. He knows that.) We’ll publish the names (if you want) of the first three who can beat those scores.
