    most trees have a pretty low IQ...

    Knew that from Baku being the capital, which I knew from the Eurovision Semi-Final 1 earlier in the week, lol.

    Keeping with the Eurovision theme, the last time that Ireland won the Eurovision Song Contest was in 1996, but who was the host country that year?
