ManvsMini Posted October 31, 2022 Author Share Posted October 31, 2022 Answers for the past week. Question 297: A golden apple sparked which famous war? Answer: Spoiler The Trojan War. Three goddesses (Hera, Athena, Aphrodite) all laid claim to a golden apple at a god mixer party, which was supposed to go to the fairest of them. All the other gods had the common sense to stay out of saying who deserved it and Zeus sent the three to the mortal Paris for a ruling. Each goddess promised him things, he decided it should go to Aphrodite, who had promised him the most beautiful woman in the world, which turned out to be Helen of Sparta, and so forth. Question 298: If you are breviloquent, what would you be less prone to using? Answer: Spoiler Words. Breviloquent is the opposite of eloquent. Eloquent people speak beautifully and often at length, whereas breviloquent people like to keep it brief/concise. Question 299: What name is given to the crustaceans that cling to the bottom of ships? Answer: Spoiler Barnacles. Related to crabs, they are only in seawater, usually found in shallow tidal waters. Question 300: What physical fitness practice is named for the Sanskrit word for "union"? Answer: Spoiler Yoga, a group of physical, mental, and spiritual practices out of India. The first known appearance of the word "yoga", with the same meaning as we know it today, is in the Katha Upanishad, a text which was probably composed between the fifth and third centuries BC. Question 301: What Mary Poppins song was inspired by the polio vaccine? Answer: Spoiler "A Spoonful of Sugar." Songwriter Robert Sherman’s children told him they received their polio vaccines by way of a sugar cube, sparking the idea for the upbeat tune. Question 302: What is the largest island of Japan? Answer: Spoiler Honshu. It is also the most populated island in the nation, with its largest city being Tokyo. Question 303: Carl Gerhard Busch is the full name of which "The X-Files" character? Answer: Spoiler The Cigarette Smoking Man/The Smoking Man. Revealed in season 11. Our usual routine. Seven questions asked, each worth one point. This brings our total possible to 311. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
