abyssinian?

but no war? ???

Ding ding ding! You're right, SneakySnake!

There *was* a war, actually, fought between Italy and (as it was then called) Abyssinia.

Unravelling the clue, for those not heavily into cryptic crosswords:

Part One: [Abyssinian] War? Or just [Abyssinian] cats.

Part Two: A great gulf [abyss], *I* separate preposition [in] from article [an] ->abyss+in+i+an.

Thanks for playing this one so energetically, everyone!

I never knew that until recently! I must have had a sheltered childhood.

Go ahead Stitchawl. Your go!

Not sheltered. You were just never a pre-pubescent boy! We had to have something to giggle about in the back of the classroom!

While there is some debate about this, it seems that the largest proportion of disposable chop sticks are made in ............ ?

Logs are even shipped to this locale from other places just for the purpose, often across entire seas!

Where are all these disposable chopsticks being made? (Extra credit for an exact location.)

Give us a question, please!

The film Titanic cost $200million to make. How much did it cost to build the Titanic, the original ship?
