froggy_dearMoments in Trivial Pursuit
I read the question, "What dessert did David Livingstone cross ...." And I frown at the Trivial Pursuit card trying to make sense of the wording, for I first saw the question as "What dessert did David Livingstone cross Lake Njambe (or some such) to reach?" I had some difficulty ascertaining that he crossed a desert and was not craving a good pudding.
The question was: What desert did David Livingstone cross to reach Lake Njame (or some such)?
