General Knowledge Quiz #90

I HOPE JB is deported!

To the moon.. mars...not this planet

I was thinking "suicide doors" but I believe they're front and back that open opposite of each other.

Tried wings, but had no idea what they were called. Of course I knew what they looked like, but the name.. no clue.

My first try was Lambo doors, from Lamborghini. I've heard them called that.

Lamborghini's doors are different, they're pivoted rather than hinged. Still groovy, but different.

maybe per capita

Maybe per capita, but the numbers are hard to find. I think saudi arabia is somewhere near the top in per capita executions.

I tried bat-wing and bird-wing, but just couldn't think of gull-wing. I tried computers but no internet, and probably every other sport ever played in England but no croquet. I'm going to make myself a cup of coffee now. I need to wake up my brain.

tried batwing as well, oh well

Maybe accept 'Gioconda', too?

Do we really have to know what type of wing the doors are? :D

I've never heard the term "wing door." They're always called "gull wing doors," because they look like the outspread wings of a seagull. I suppose they do look like the wings of some other birds, but the seagull was the one that people keyed on when they were introduced.

Second the Merc comment and it was Mercedes who invented them. Other notables include the current Tesla Model X, but Tesla call them Falcon wings for some reason. There was even a Canadian sports car (and I use the term warily), called a Bricklin which used them. Lamborghini use guillotine (or switchblade or scissor) doors which pivot upwards and outwards from the front of the door frame. Very classy and good for tight spaces.

Clue for French fries, if the answer is frites, should really be just fries. Fries are to frites as French fries (or freedom fries or whatever) are to pommes frites, one is the shorter colloquial, one longer.

How about accepting gulf wing without the dash?

It's actually "gull" wing, as in a seagull. :)

For the love of God, accept VIII or 8, but don't accept just Henry!!!

I agree. There were eight of these guys, but only one specific one who fits this (and, admittedly, most) questions.

There are some Shakespeare quizzes that feature other Henries.

There was an even an episode of The Simpsons about it.

Those aren't butterfly doors?

On the "Roar" question, the question mark should go outside the quotation mark.

Hansel and Gretel left a trail of white pebbles on their first journey into the woods. It was the second journey where they left breadcrumbs, which were eaten by birds.

Antonio Stradavari made all types of stringed instruments. There are also cellos and violas still being played. It isn't only violins.

Isn't there also a golf course at Wimbledon?
