    Here are a couple of sample questions for you:

    In many Eastern belief systems, it is an incarnation or representation of a deity or holy man. Younger people will probably be familiar with the word used to describe it, not from religion but from internet chat rooms. Which word?

    Unlike most birds which hunt by sight or hearing, this bird has nostrils at the tip of its beak. It uses these to smell and find its food. What is this bird, which known for another reason to most of us?

    Once you’ve refreshed your memory, all you need to do is sign up for the event and go take the quiz. That’s all! You don’t need to be a Grand Master level quizzer to earn the right to be there or anything. You don’t even need to go through any qualification rounds. You have as much of a chance to win it as any other person who signed up for it.

    But, let’s be honest here. If one would have to bet on a possible winner, one will probably pick one of the names that tend to end up in the top 3 pretty much every year. One of them is Pat Gibson.

    Pat Gibson is an Irishman who’s been dubbed one of the smartest people in the world. Back in 2004, he won “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?” and walked away with 1 million pounds. Since then, the software developer has been participating in numerous quizzing championships, scoring 7 gold, 11 silver, and 7 bronze medals over the years. At the moment, he is the number one ranked quizzer in the world.

    Gibson is, of course, not the only shining star of the quiz world. Another big name in the quiz world is Kevin Ashman. He is a proud owner of 17 gold, 13 silver, and 3 bronze medals from the British, European, and World Championships. He might also be familiar to British quiz show enthusiasts as he’s been a champion of Mastermind and Brain of Britain. He’s also one of the panelists on the Eggheads game show.

    That's how it should be everywhere. If you think about it, most of the conflicts, hate and bad things overall happen since people still divide into "us" and "them" because of some nonsense invisible lines on the map.

    So, maybe the chances of winning against such prolific quizzers is not an easy task, but who says it’s impossible. Just read through this list, then go through our last one, and maybe you’ll have a chance too.

    The manufacturer, Vestergaard, teamed up with The Carter Center, former President Jimmy Carter's foundation, to eliminate Guinea Worm Disease. The LifeStraw is a big part of that effort, which focuses on education and water filtration. You can get the disease by drinking unfiltered water.

    Reminds me of that parable where a religious man is caught in a flood and asks God to please save him. He turns down rescue attempts in good faith that God will come to his aid. Instead he drowns and in heaven asks God why he didn't save him God said I sent two boats and a helicopter what did you want me to do? - note: I didn't write this too well and it seems to have lost some of its impact in the translation. Sorry. Lol.

    I was there with my wife about a month ago. It's fantastic. My wife immediately wanted to stay. I told her that she would have to get rid of most her stuff because of the relatively small living quarters. She pretended that it would be no problem for her. ;) In the beginning, the inhabitants must have been catholic, citizens of Augsburg and pray three times a day. Interesting fact: Mozart's great-grandfather was very poor and lived there. If he wouldn't have got the help back then, there would have been no Magic Flute, no Nachtmusik and no wedding for the figaro. ;)

    I remember. My first thought when entering was "what kind of cult have I walked in here?" Another reason might have been that many of their business practices especially in concern to unions and worker's rights were illegal in Germany, leading to a lot of lawsuits (Germany has very strict laws to protect worker's rights, and the unions are traditionally very strong).

    In the middle ages, european pubs and inns had a similar perpetual stew. The pot of stew was just constanly held near boling point, so that no germs or otherwise harmful organisms could develop. Instead of making a new batch, new ingredients were added whenever necessary,. While sounding strage, it was probably safe to eat.

    going out on a limb here, but I'm guessing the averages are thus since fathers almost never die during childbirth.

    because its brain is not just in its head but over the whole body so cutting of the head is not removing the entire brain

    I already go insane if it rains for 3 days non-stop, imagine decades. On the other hand, great excuse to procrastinate: "I'll go to the gym as soon as it stops raining"

    This has nothing to do w/ her at all. Shes a beautiful young woman. But I love how we treat being beautiful like it's some achievement we worked so hard for. lol. It's wild. Yet..... natural beauty takes literally no work. No skill. No time. No commitment. No talent. Nothing. Society is so weird.

    This is due to France being the only country that still has its "colonies", although the call them oversea departments by now (strangely except New Caledonia, that remains a colony up to date). Oversea departments are Guadeloupe, Martinique, French Guayana, Réunion and Mayotte. There also are the "Collectivité d’outre-mer" terretories that have part autonomy but still belong to France, like French Polynesia and Saint-Martin, and part of antarctica ("Terre Adélie").

    “The term "pH" was first described by Danish biochemist Søren Peter Lauritz Sørensen in 1909. pH is an abbreviation for "power of hydrogen" where "p" is short for the German word for power, potenz and H is the element symbol for hydrogen. The H is capitalized because it is standard to capitalize element symbols. The abbreviation also works in French, with pouvoir hydrogen translating as "the power of hydrogen".”

    But were any of them rude to him? That's the genuine shopping experience.
