Okay, well, I don’t listen to grunge rock, so I really wouldn’t know!
Are you guys asking science questions just to stump me? I thought it was supposed to be the opposite!
Well, the first element on the periodic table is Hydrogen. It’s atomic number is 1… (Or atomic mass?) So, I guess that’s why it’s the first, other than statistics on the actual element.
Um, carbon comes from food I think. Oxygen from air, and hydrogen from water? Or… Something like that??
I have no idea!
It’s… scary. They suck you in to someplace no one knows of. It swallows everything, including light, right? I have had nightmares about black holes after watching Through the Wormhole with Morgan Freeman. Sheesh. :o
Yikes. I’ve done many heinous things in my time, but asking a child about sex toys isn’t one of them. The answers:
a “Stairway to Heaven”. It’s the second greatest rock song of all time. By Led Zeppelin. Your dad is probably pretty glad you’re aren’t into them at this age.
Then peace will guide the planets and love will steer the stars. It’s from the opening lyrics of “Aquarius”, from the musical “Hair”.
No. The question is based upon the lyrics of “Free Bird”, by Lynyrd Skynyrd. It is the greatest rock song of all time. Anyone who tells you otherwise is wrong.
OK then. Moving on to some new questions:
Who wrote “Romeo and Juliet”?
What does the acronym TANSTAAFL mean?
Which American President said “Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall.”
What are the biblical books which comprise the “Five Books of Moses,” also known in Hebrew as the “Pentateuch?” Hint: the first one is Genesis.
What painting technique makes use of many small dots which rather than brush strokes?
How many pickled peppers did Peter Piper pick?
What is the name of the videocassette format which was beaten in the marketplace by VHS?
Do you know what any of these abbreviations stand for? They all relate to computers or the internet. You get credit if you know any three of them. RAM. ROM. MS-DOS. BIOS. GUI. SDMB. HTTP. HTML. VoIP.
The Blue Death pandemic, also known as The Spanish Flu, killed millions of people in 1918. What defines a pandemic? Bonus One: who or what is WHO? Bonus 2: what is the name of the board game in which you cooperate with other players to combat a pandemic?
Child of the 90s checking in here, shaking my puny baby fist at all you old geezers asking about 60s-70s pop culture. Nobody’s cared about Happy Days for decades, ya farts!
Anyway I’m in the kitchen so I’ll ask kitchen-related questions.
What are prunes (besides tart and delicious)?
What are the five tastes?
What is the distinctive herb in spaghetti sauce?
What is the difference between an herb and a spice?
Name as many natural sweeteners as you can. I can think of four basic categories that are widely used in the kitchen, but if you want to list off varieties in a category you can go right ahead.
Not quite the answer I was looking for, but basically correct! What I had in mind was this: hydrogen was formed shortly after the Big Bang, but carbon and oxygen were formed from exploding stars. My fault for an ambiguous question.
Name the two scary eels who served Ursula in The Little Mermaid.
What is the title of the third book in the trilogy that starts with the books: Where God Went Wrong Some More of God’s Greatest Mistakes
Name two marsupials.
Name the two end points of a U.S. Interstate Highway that runs through the nearest city where you live.
(clarification: If you live close to a city through which I-15 runs, where would you end up if you took I-15 all the way to one end, where would you end up if you took I-15 all the way to the other end?)
What do the letters in the acronym AIDS stand for?
BONUS: What does HIV stand for?
Which South American country is farther north: Bolivia or Columbia?
BONUS: Did I spell each of those country’s names correctly?
Who is NOT Canadian: Justin Bieber, Carly Rae Jepsen, Lorde
What is that thing on your username which looks like a cross between a roasting grille and the Brandenburg Gate?
(Hey, you should know it and I want to get edumacated too)
Re. Hydrogen, 1 is both its atomic number (that is, the amount of electrons and protons it has when uncharged) and the mass of its most common isotope. The atomic number is what’s used to order elements in the table. Isotopes are atoms of the same element (that is, of the same atomic number) which have different mass due to having different amounts of neutrons.
