I think the Wikipedia article I read on the subject (when I was researching one of my own food quizzes) stated that noodles/pasta were invented independently in many different places, including Greece and ancient Phoenicia which means they were probably around there before anyone was eating them in China. The story that Marco Polo brought them back to Venice from China is not true.
The Archbishop of Canterbury is the leader of the Anglican Church, not the Church of England. There is a slight difference, the Anglican Church being the religion offered to the countries that Britain had in it's influence, whereas the Church of England was for England solely
The Archbishop of Canterbury is the head of the church of England and also the spiritual head of the Anglican Communion which is made up of independent provinces who govern themselves separately from the archbishop's authority. In the end the only thing the ABC can do is not invite provinces to Lambeth or other Anglican Communion gatherings. But the position is absolutely the head of the Church of England.
I don't mind it being there, I'm not complaining, but it's funny to me that the answer is the Mexican Peso, since Mexican is kind of implied in it being the currency of Mexico.
Because that's the name of the currency.. you also get Argentine peso, Chilean peso, along with half of South America that has their own version of the Peso but they are not the same currency.
not what he meant, more that stars are object too, but not planets, so if a planet is the answer when the brightest thing other than the moon is a star, it can't be an 'object', as a star would then win, so you should specify that it doesn't include stars, or just say the brightest planet and not object
weird name anyway, apparently the "pole" part comes from something meaning head.
In my country the translation is frogfish(ie) also silly but more easily recognised.
To me the answer wás obvious, but trivia is all about what people pick up. You could mention 100 sports people or politicians to me and maybe one would stick. But if you mention stuff about nature/science it is more like 50-80% (All based on if I hear something only once which I have never heard before). And ofcourse how/where you spend your time also impacts the words you pick up. Like do you watch a lot of soccer and no nature documentaries or vice versa.
Funny, right after taking this I was watching Sopranos and they talk about how a sobriquet is a nickname and I'm like "if only I had seen that before taking this"
Nitpicking here, but the book's name is actually "A Game of Thrones". "A Song of Ice and Fire" is the name of the series of novels. "Game of Thrones" wihtout the A would be the TV series. (I not it doesn't change much about the clue. Just being rigorous.)
Edit-Ignore me
