Re: Fact
Repeating a common word over and over until it loses all meaning and sounds weird is called semantic satiation.
O/T FACT:- Saudi Arabia is the largest country in the world without a river <EOM>
Would have been the correct subject title for this thread.

Re: Fact
Only one river in England flows predominently northward. Name it.
Google give loads of weird answers and doesn't even mention the one I'm talking about. The main answer seems to be the Trent, but that flows North East.

Re: Fact
You're right up to a point but having just gone through several Google answers it's becoming complicated. The Derwent is a tributary of other rivers and the one I was looking for isn't. Best to reveal my answer I think and that's the Eden. The Eden flows out of the Lake District directly into the sea near Carlisle.
I liked geography at school many years ago and it's one of those strange FACTS that I've always remembered.
