The picture on the left was the brother of author JK Rowling. Inspired by (and perhaps jealous of) his sister's fame, GP Rowling decided to write his own book. This book was unsuccessful, leading GP to go crazy. This is a picture from the London Zoo, where he held the lion hostage.
The picture on the right is the New Mexico Lobo synchronized jello wrestling team. This picture was taken immediately after the judges tallied their scores, showing New Mexico beat Arizona by two tenths of a point. This win was a moo point however, as the Lobos had already qualified for the playoffs.
And so concludes the quiz. I hope that the reader has learned a little about the relationship between two seemingly different places.
