No accident, I read a book about cargo cults of the South Pacific. They ate Long Pig quite regularly. Also mentioned in Sex Lives of Cannibals, one of the funniest books ever written.
I'm assuming people just watch Archer. Woodhouse: When I served in the King's African Rifles, the local Zambezi tribesmen called human flesh "long pig". Never much cared for it.
I saw an episode of a Josh Gates show - don't remember if it was Expedition Unknown or Destination Truth where they toured a long pig slaughter room in Fiji that still had the utensils hanging on the wall. They had special utensils for both butchering and eating. Pretty creepy.
No, reginacide is not a word. Regis is Latin for 'king' (by FractalDoom's logic the word for king would be would be 'regi'); the Latin has been clipped to give us the word regicide.
Regicide is the correct term for killing a monarch of any gender. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regicide The quizmaster is incorrect here -- please fix :D
I thought miso was made with tofu so I was going to ask for an exception when I saw the answer was "soybeans", but I looked it up and you're right. I guess I'm just thinking of the tofu pieces that have been at the bottom of every cup of miso I ever drank. Oh well, at least I was thinking in the right direction, right?
Just depends on the church. I've actually never heard it called Holy Thursday. I was raised in the Episcopal church, and it was always Maundy Thursday.
So I guess I'm the only one who spent ages thinking up and typing in the names of all the most famous supermodels for the Sports Illustrated question? Seriously, the swimsuit edition is world famous, and kind of makes one forget that it's actually just a regular American sports magazine.
Quizmaster I don't think that statement is quite correct. Ethnicity is totally different to Nationality. Otherwise Washington was English as was Abraham Lincoln etc. etc.
@Malbaby, American standards of ethnicity/nationality differ from those in Tesla's situation. Tesla was born in modern-day Croatia, at the time part of the Austrian Empire. His ethnicity was Serbian, as was his nationality. The question is correctly written, and in no case would Tesla ever be considered Croatian.
Tesla's country of citizenship at birth was the Austro-Hungarian Empire. He was born to parents that were ethnic Serbs living in what is now Croatia. As a young man, he became a naturalized citizen of the United States. Not long after, the Austro-Hungarian Empire ceased to exist, and his citizenship became American and nothing else.
the cattle greenhouse gas question is a bit dodgy. The wording of the question would suggest only one, greenhouse gas is created, but if I'm not mistaken, they also produce carbon dioxide.
If I asked you what Lee Harvey Oswald did on November 22, 1963 the correct answer would be "shot JFK", although he also did many other things that day such as ate breakfast and put his pants on. Methane is, unlike CO2, a notable output of cow's digestion. Understanding what is notable and what is not is an important part of answering trivia questions correctly.
I always think it's worth mentioning that Oswald also murdered a Dallas police officer that day - J.D. Tippit. Regarding cattle and methane, we are farmers who raise a few acres of row crop and also raise a few cows. The issue is complicated. Yes, cows produce methane. But our cows graze on pastureland which isn't tilled or irrigated and drink rainwater held in ponds. Grain and vegetables are grown on soil that is usually turned over which isn't good for the carbon footprint, and often times requires a lot of irrigation and many producers use petrochemical fertilizers and pesticides. Rice and wheat use more fresh water for production than all other commercial plant products combined. It takes around 700 gallons of water to make a pound of lentils but only 120 gallons of water to produce a pound of milk. Using figures for amount of water consumed per gram of protein, it comes out better for lentils at 5 gallons, while eggs and milk come in at around 8. As I said, it's complicated.
I grow orange, purple, red, yellow, and white carrots. My favorite is Amarillo Yellow. My problem with all the purple and red ones I've grown is that they are only purple or red on the outside, and once they are peeled they are ordinary orange. Yellow carrots are yellow all the way through.
I misread "flesh" as "fish" and spent way too long trying to type in all the kinds of fish I could think of. Needless to say I was incredibly startled when I saw the actual answer XD
No, they're neighbouring but separate regional languages. The Basque language isn't related to any other language in the area if I remember correctly. Catalan is a Romance language like Spanish.
Which some did die to look on.")

The nation-state is a modern invention and doesn't really make sense in the context of Tesla's early life.
