General Trivia quiz

[Rosy]

I always like reading facts and figures so thought a general triva thread would be interesting. Answer the question then post one of your own. (Try not to rely on searh engines )

Which animal is not mentioned in the Bible?

 

[Six Pack]

The Tasmanian Devil

 

[Rosy]

Haha not the answer I'm after 6y but check with jay. You could well be correct. In the meantime try again.

 

[Six Pack]

The Koala.

 

[Disco08]

Geez, that could be a question with a lot of answers.

 

[Tiger74]

Eric Burdon, the other Animals appear in the New Testiment, but Eric only appears in the Koran.

 

[Tiger74]

[Rosy]

Ok we'll pass on that one and try again.  (The answer I had was cats)

Why did sailors traditionally wear gold earrings?

How could they leave him out?!

 

[Rosy]

Because nipple piercing wasn't invented yet?

:cutelaugh

Maybe someone esle should ask the first question.

 

[Disco08]

Sorry rosy, I think the real answer is they thought it would help their eyesight, or so a bloke on a deep sea fishing trip once told me anyway.

Why did sailors traditionally wear gold earrings?

Easier to wear your gold than carry it in a wallet or man-bag (which is difficult to carry about a galleon on the high seas with a British Frigate hot on your heels).

 

[Rosy]

T74 is the winner. It was a way to ensure they could afford a proper burial.

 

[Six Pack]

i was sure it was the Koala!

 

[Tiger74]

Okay, my turn.

In what century did the French Government (of the time) last use the Guillotine in a legally sanctioned execution?

 

[Six Pack]

20th

 

[Rosy]

Hmmm I wouldn't have a clue whether they still chop of their heads or not. I hope not so I'll guess 18th.

 

[Tiger74]

twas the 20th, French were chopping heads still into the 70's (definitely) or 80's (I believe).

All yours 6er

 

[Six Pack]

Gee it's hard to think of non-sporting questions.

Ok, what was the name of the little kid on Gone With the Wind who fell off her pony and died?

 

[Rosy]

Pass. Don't think I've ever seen Gone With The Wind.
