Hate to be that guy.... In the Debbie Reynolds question you repeated "her" twice

Or he wishes someone else pointed it out first because he finds it awkward to point out mistakes in a quiz.

You should include Antarctic/Antarctica at the South Pole question.

Level 86
Nov 25, 2018
Nope. If you're standing at the end of the Antarctic Peninsula, not every direction is north.
+2
Level 76
Nov 25, 2018
True, but that's not how the question is phrased. If every direction you look in is North, then you are, indeed, in Antarctica. It's a completely correct answer, just a less specific one.

I suppose "blood" doesn't really count as a body part, otherwise that would be another thing that looks different between Vulcans and humans.

I was thinking the same thing. And even though I think they gave up on it pretty quickly, Spock was supposed to have a greenish complexion.

Seems odd to go with just acting for Reagan. Prior to becoming president, he was also a radio announcer, a commentator for the Chicago Cubs, and an FBI informant, among other things. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ronald_Reagan#Entertainment_career

Immediately before he got into politics in California, his profession was acting. The other jobs were prior to politics, too, so technically could count. Including his stint as a reserve cavalry officer.

At first glance I read 'vulcan' as 'vulture', which would make for quite an interesting question.

If you're at the South Pole and you look upwards then you're not looking North.

I was going to say something else but I've forgotten what it was. If it was less memorable than my first point then it's probably best left unsaid anyway.

"Garden of Eden" is "paradise", so both should be acceptable answers.

Could Louisiana (France), Florida (Spain), Alaska (Russia) or any of the thirteen colonies also count as once kingdoms?
+3
Level 76
Apr 18, 2022
I wouldn't think so, because while they belonged to kingdoms, they were not, themselves, kingdoms. There was no Kingdom of Florida, or Kingdom of Louisiana, but there was a Kingdom of Hawai'i.
