Hehehe, now it looks like you searched and found the answer in wiki!

 

[Natalie]

I thought it was the bridge connecting Denmark and Sweden, the Örebro bridge or whatever its called. Oh well, wrong again.

 

[Mmm...Donuts]

Hey, how about this one, which musician has recieved the most grammy nominations without winning a single one?

 

[Forostar]

Lol, whoever that is, I already feel sorry for that person.

 

[LooseCannon]

What is the world's longest bridge over water?

Shame on you, letting them steal a good piece of Canadiana.

Hey, how about this one, which musician has recieved the most grammy nominations without winning a single one?

Alan Parsons and Joe Satriani both have 13 nominations and 0 awards.

Natalie, aren't you from Sweden? You, of all people on here, should know that it is called Öresund ... Örebro is north of Vänern ...

And Genghis, why not modify the question to "What is the world's longest bridge over troubled water?"

 

[Mmm...Donuts]

Alan Parsons and Joe Satriani both have 13 nominations and 0 awards.

Actually Joe Satriani has 14 now, so he's got the record (2008, always with me, always with you)
With all his great stuff he should have won

 

[Forostar]

That's what I call the difference between theoretical knowledge and following the news. 

In the light of this question, I had none of those.

Bah, the Grammies suck anyway.

Who is the oldest member from Judas Priest (his age, not how long he is in the band)?

Bonus points: how old?

 

[Mmm...Donuts]

Amen to that, but hey, it's trivia

 

[Genghis Khan]

Shame on you, letting them steal a good piece of Canadiana.

OK.  What is Canada's longest bridge and what does it connect?  There. 

 

[Natalie]

Oops, yeah, its the Öresund thing. I'll just blame it on my Mexicanness. 

 

[Forostar]

I asked the following 5 days ago:

Who is the oldest member from Judas Priest (his age, not how long he is in the band)?

Bonus points: how old?

Anyone ?

 

[ABandOn]

If my memory serves me right, Glenn Tipton (He should be as old as my dad, who was born in 1946  )

 

[Forostar]

He is the one, but he is a bit younger than your (and my!) dad:

25 October 1947


So the bloke is 60 years! He is quite a bit older than the other members:

Ian Hill: 20 Jan 1951
Rob Halford: 25 Aug 1951
KK Downing: 27 Oct 1951
Scott Travis: 6 Sept 1961

 

[Glory2Hypnotoad]

I'm surprised, Tipton always looked the youngest to me.

As for the Canada question, I don't know the name of the bridge, but is it the one that connects Prince Edward Island to the mainland?

 

[Genghis Khan]

Yes.  It is called the Confederation Bridge.

 

[Deano]

OK, new question. Astronomy:

Based on tentative evidence, there is scientific speculation that Saturn's second largest moon, Rhea could possibly have a certain interesting characteristic about it. What is it?

 

[LooseCannon]

It's own ring system.
