    Default Entrance exam Munruben University

    John's next door neighbour was undertaking an
    oral examination for entry into the Munruben University.

    The question: "Captain Cook made three trips to the
    Pole and died during one of them. Which one was it?"

    John's neighbour replied, "Could you give me another
    question. I am not very good at History?"

    Dying the first time would have saved a lot of trouble.

    Firstly Cook was only a Lieutenant he was made a Capt postumisouly

    Munruban Uni is a great Uni vast open tracts to while away the study hours the only sound you'll hear is that of a new table saw getting its daily work out.

    Thats John making up the presentation plaques for graduation day

    Sounds like the end of the trip for Cook.
    Reality is no background music.

    Daft blokes!
    The answer is similar to why what you are looking for is in the last place you look. You just don't look anymore after that.
    I don't know if I should be pedantic about the correctness of the question. As historians you all make good woodworkers.

    I think it had something to do with a bunch of angry natives, and what he left behind the last time he visited. ( or rather, the time before the last time he visited.)
