Where do "the mome raths outgrabe"?
Middle Earth

Oz

The poem appears in 'Alice through the looking-glass', NOT in 'Alice in Wonderland'

Also, the poem does not state where it is set so none of the answers are correct.

The question might read: In which of these countries does the poem including the line... get spoken but then Wonderland would still be incorrect.

Which is considered "The Champagne of Beers"?
Becks
Keystone Ice
Miller High Life
Budweiser

Please remove this nonsense!!!

It is NOT considered as this at all. It is ADVERTISED as it.

You would not accept a question that asked "What is 'The Real Thing'" giving Coca Cola, Christianity, A horse and Cheese as answers. Just becaue an advertiser says something it does not make it a considered opinion.

People who really know beer generally consider some of the better Belgian beers as "The Champagne of Beers"
