1%'ers basically advertise that they operate outside of the law. Most other MCs wear a 99% patch indicating that they are just a law-abiding group of folks that like to ride.
What exactly is a Gideon's Bible? I would much rather wait for the Jetpunk community to tell me than to look it up myself, because I am a self-proclaimed lazy sod.
Gideons International is an evangelical Christian group best known for giving away bibles. They place them in hotel rooms, hospital rooms, prisons, and they give them to college students, military personnel, and veterans.
I always used to love reading Gideon's bibles because they have a biblical text (can't remember which book/chapter/verses) translated into dozens of languages at the beginning.
I'd spend ages reading the different languages and looking at the different alphabets...
I think it's one of those things that only Americans will know. Anyone who has been in a hotel in America has probably seen one, but I'm guessing they are rare overseas.
I just know Minecraft (or WoW etc) exists, never noticed it as a cultural phenomenon, unlike Mario, or LOTR or whatever, that is hard to escape even if you've never watched/played it.
See, now I'm trying to create a Football Pantheon to replace the Olympians. Pele's vying for Zeus' spot, Ronaldo for god of beauty, Beckham for god of diving...
There are a lot of do's and don'ts in Hawaii to keep from incurring the wrath (and curse) of Pele. Don't carry home rocks or sand, do give her flowers or gin, don't pick certain flowers, and don't try to take pork across the Pali Highway (it's reminiscent of her old boyfriend who was part man, part pig, and after a bad breakup they agreed to stay on their own sides of the island).
For the doctor who I tried smaller first.. surprised that wasnt it, realised they meant the actual thing, so tried: phonebooth phonecell, police booth, police phonebooth etc even phonebox I believe... none of them work... and I believe some of them definately should.
It was like a phone box, but with a direct line to the police station, and coppers could sit in there filling out reports. Used by the police or the general public to call the police station.
(and yes, expecting a comment now not to shame people just because they didnt know something. And "im sure you dont know stuff others do" but I mean this is not about a popular book or soccerplayer or anything that people 20 years from now will have forgotten. Like I dont know most popular lipgloss...)
And how exactly is "Jove" relevant to anything today? And for what it's worth, 90% of people are correctly answering the girl group question, which was more than 20 years ago. So apparently people still do remember.
Yeah, it's about an obscure alternate term for a god no one has worshipped in 1,700 years in a society that vanished off the face of the Earth 1,500 years ago.
Imagine knowing something pertinent to life over that.
Anyone with a passing interest in space has probably heard of the jovian system, jovian moons or jovian planets. Possibly all three. I'm surprised someone on a quiz site would be mocking people for knowing things.
Uh... the Romans didn't vanish off the face of the earth. They slowly integrated with other peoples around them, but the people who live in central Italy today are still ethnically similar to the "Romans". Not only that, but it's not like the Roman culture just vanished as soon as they were conquered.
@sifhraven I can understand your point for many questions on here, but not for the one about "jove". If you do a quick Google search, you get many results, but nothing mentioning anything about Jupiter without doing more digging. So I think 19% is probably a fair representation of how little the general public knows about that word.
In what country? In the US we have many public hospitals where Bibles would not fly, and I have read there have been all sorts of battles in the UK over them. Hotels, however, tend to be free(r) of such criticism and that’s the only place I’ve seen Gideon’s Bibles in a long time. (And I spend more time in hospitals that I do hotels!)
It's actually "Hells Angels", not "Hell's Angels". The Hells Angels are aware of the apostrophe issue. They're sticking with Hells Angels. I wouldn't argue with them about it.
I'd spend ages reading the different languages and looking at the different alphabets...
Not a thing anymore, obviously.

Listen, you freak. We don't all watch Frasier, ok?
Echidnas are also known as spiny anteaters.

Maybe rephrase it to "What Roman god was only known as 'Jove'?"
