Kuno on GABZ FM

Every morning on our 12 minute drive to school we listen to GABZ FM - to "the best breakfast show south of the Sahara" with Lebo and Gabriel. Every morning at that time the presenters ask a question, clearly aimed at young kids on their way to school. Well, this morning Kuno decided to call in to answer the question: Why is blue cheese blue? First, they gave a few wrong answers that had been sent in by SMS and then they played the conversation with Kuno, called in by mobile phone from the car. It was fun! Other questions that we have heard include: how many US states? What is the largest mountain range in Africa? What imaginary line runs through Botswana? Who built the Botswana rail line? The 'answer' to that question was Cecil John Rhodes though, as the presenters were quickly corrected in a text message, the real answer is: "The natives built the rail line!"

Postscript: It turns out - from all the friends at school who were also listening to GABZ FM in the morning - that it is totally uncool to call in with an answer to the question. It is hard being the new kids in town.....
