Kobayashi is a monster who took competitive eating to an entire new level. He took on a giant 1000+ pound Alaskan Bear in a hotdog eating contest. The video is on youtube if you are so inclined.
It's a little known fact that a chickpea and a garbanzo beans are not actually the same thing. There are a few subtle differences. For example, I never had a garbanzo bean on my face.
I don't think we ever used a compass in maths - we would measure angles but never draw circles so we had to use protractors sometimes but never a compass.
We used both in graphics so that seems a much more fitting answer to me.
Geometry is only a separate subject if one studies math at university. At least that's the case in Estonia. Also, the only times we've used a compass in class has been in geography, never in math.
Our four years of high school math classes back in the Dark Ages were divided into freshman algebra I, sophomore geometry, junior algebra II, and senior trigonometry and math analysis. Those not taking college-bound courses took general math for two years. I've no idea what they take these days, but geometry was definitely a class back then.
Having spent half my 70 years in each of UK & USA, I disagree with the second part of your "pants" questions. Brits would use the word "underpants" as the male equivalent of the American answer. The female equivalent of underpants in UK would be "knickers" - I'm not expert enough to tell you the US word. 👖👙😡
Yeah, I've never used the word "underpants" in my life and don't know anyone who does. Pants, boxers, knickers. And to me underwear is a general term for all of those plus bras etc. Basically anything you find in the underwear section of a clothes shop.

I never had a Geometry lesson - only ever a Mathematics lesson ! The specific type of maths was never the main subject it was just what the teacher wanted to do that lesson
To be picky/pedantic - you'd never use a compass in geometry so far as I am aware the mathematical instrument is called a pair of compasses - a compass is a navigational device that points north.
You're telling me that English has a ton of different words for anything but it doesn't have separate words for two completely different devices? Languages just became even less logical.
Try to imagine how boring it would be to communicate in a language that only had one word for every concept. Say goodbye to poetry and a good chunk of humor, for starters.
I am in a church choir. I have sung Joy to the World pretty often, usually around Christmas, and no bullfrogs called anything have been in the lyrics. Where on earth is that from because it isn't the 'usual' or 'most famous'? ie drew complete blank.
Google found it, eventually but only because I knew your answer Jeremiah + bullfrog.
The hymn may be more famous, but only the Three Dog Night song has someone named Jeremiah. Pop music is a perfectly legitimate target for a General Knowledge quiz.
I was in a church choir for 10 years and we sang "Joy to the World" (the hymn) at Christmas every year, but I was not confused by the question.
I really don't like that you're accepting "Les Mis" for "Les Misérables". I get that the musical, more than the book, is often abbreviated this way, but Victor Hugo definitely didn't write anything called "Les Mis", which wouldn't make any more sense in French than it does in English. I'd understand if you accepted "The Miserables" or some other English translation, but "Les Mis" is just plain lazy.
We used both in graphics so that seems a much more fitting answer to me.
Accept maths please !
