People have seen "The Dark Side of the Moon" in 1973. It was a beam of light shot through a prism on a black background.
In any case there are so many things wrong with this question, because despite it hinting that it isn't asking about the Pink Floyd album that fact is unclear and it could also be a trick question. And the Moon is also spelled with a capital M.
Just change the question to "the far side of the Moon" so it's clear for everyone.
Golly, and the Dark Ages weren’t actually hundreds of years of night? And the dark web isn’t just using the Internet with your computer monitor off? And a dark horse isn’t an even a horse???
Of course there is a dark side of the moon. It is nothing but its night side. In fact, everyone has seen it, whenever the moon is close to the sun, showing a thin crescent, or during a solar eclipse. Besides, if "dark side" was synonymous with "far side", then the near side should also be called "light side". But I've never heard it referred to as such.
Which sides gets light and darkness is always changing... because the Moon's orientation relative to the sun is changing. So that terminology does not have much practical usage. Whereas near side and far is constant (relative to Earth) so it makes perfect sense.
I would bet that #9 & #13 have both happened, just without verification.
I'm sure someone has cloned a human at this point and I'd be shocked if some pro didn't walk the local Muni course and birdie every hole at some point in history.
The fact that this quiz fails to acknowledge Comrade Supreme Leader's incredible golf skills is not only shameful, but treasonous to the Juche Revolution!
Some claim they cloned human cells, but not a viable human. The South Koreans say they had division of human cells in the 1990s but stopped very early. I think it was in the 1980s I saw a film called "Green Cows, Quaggas, and Mummies" made by a group of scientists at a university who study future trends - maybe New Mexico? They wanted to splice a plant gene into a cow to see if it could photosynthesize its own nutrients - the forerunner of GMO. (At the time we thought they were crazy.) They claimed someone had already started replicating human cells for medical purposes, but stopped the experiment early on because of ethical reasons. They were waiting for the super computer to be completed so the human genome could be mapped before they went on. They wanted to regenerate a quagga from tissue of one in a museum and maybe even try regenerating a mummy at some point, but they didn't really think a viable human being could be cloned and they worried about the ethics of even trying.
I see no reason to believe that anyone has cloned a human. I also see no reason to want to do so. The lambs that were cloned from Dolly aged rapidly and suffered from ailments that affect much older sheep... sheep the age of Dolly. If you clone a 30-year-old human, the clone's cells will be 60 when they're 30. They'll be starting off with cells that are the same age as the person who was cloned, condemning them to a short life. If you want kids so badly, adopt or foster.
I think it's in reference to an apocryphal tale about a woman who was supposedly elected pope and then gave birth. It's not true, of course, but people love scandalous history!
You can also call it "birthing a baby" if you're helping -- or birthing a calf if you're helping around the farm. But you're only "giving birth" if the kid is coming out of you.
Which makes me think of Aliens. Presumably you're not giving birth if an alien is erupting from your chest cavity. But since you're helping, are you birthing an alien?
About question #3... I remember being told a tale about an Old West town whose mayor was immortal. Supposedly, he held the same body, but would shift identity every 60 years or so as to not get people suspicious.
Question 15 is VERY True cuz A Russian Prince named Vsevolod III had more than 20 children and has the nickname "the big nest", This also applies to a Moroccan Sultan, Ismail, who is generally thought to have more than a thousand children.
But the question Faro is referencing asks if anyone ever *gave birth* to more than 20 children. So if he's saying it's "very true" because a prince and a sultan had more than 20 children, then yes, he is suggesting they gave birth.
The cloning human question is incorrect. Embryonic stem cell research requires cloning humans via somatic cell nuclear transfer. Perhaps the question intended to ask about cloning a human and allow the cloned human to live to a certain age?
An human embryo is an entire human, not merely a cell or group of cells of a human. That's a proper stage of human development from fertilisation through 8 weeks. All cloning of any species begins mono cellular, just as life would sexually for any mammal, and develops progresses as it otherwise would (this is how Dolly the Sheep was cloned). So this is done with humans in ESCR at the very least if not for some other purpose. If we are talking about a cloned human living until adulthood, then you're absolutely right, and I think that's probably what most people are thinking, but the specific question at hand doesn't make any age stipulation.
But then all questions in all quizzes would be suspect because every religious belief would have to be taken into account. True or false: Almost all land belonged to a supercontinent called Pangea at the end of the Paleozoic era. Shintoism specifically says that the islands that make up Japan were created first, as they are today, so False should be accepted? I'd think this line of reasoning would make many quizzes needlessly complicated.
Um, no. 1.600 metres (aka 1.6 metres) is the height of a short-ish person. Unless you meant 1,600 metres? That would be a mile. Regardless, the clue is still correct, 1 mile = 1.609 km.
Before we get into the Methuselah argument, let's take a step back and first review the absolute verifiable scientific proof that without a doubt, no one in the history of mankind has ever lived to be 150 years old. Because we're basing things on hard science and verifiable records, not just opinions and/or conjecture, right?
Note the caveat for nitpickers in the instructions to add "that we know of" to every question. If we went by your standard, it would be impossible to ever claim anything. Has a human ever set foot on Mars? I've read plenty of books in which people did. Can you prove that there wasn't a super-genius in the year 3000 BCE who built a rocket capable of the trip? Or is it reasonable to assume something extraordinary like that hasn't happened that we know of until actively proven otherwise?
The dark side of the moon refers to the side that is unlit by the sun. Every human that has seen the moon has seen the dark side of the moon. The far side of the moon is what was seen by the Apollo 8 mission
"Far side of the moon" and "dark side of the moon" are synonymous.
The lunar day lasts 29 Earth days. As the moon rotates, different parts are exposed to the sun. There is no part of the moon which is always unlit by the sun.
However, due to tidal locking, approximately 41% of the moon is never visible from Earth. This part of the moon had never been seen by humans until the Soviet Luna 3 spacecraft took the first photos on October 7, 1959.
Wikipedia here:
The hemisphere has sometimes been called the "dark side of the Moon", where "dark" means "unknown" instead of "lacking sunlight"
For question 2, maybe specify that there's never been a living giant squid in an aquarium? Mote Marine Aquarium in Sarasota, Florida has had the body of Molly the Mollusk, a giant squid, on display for over 20 years now.

Aren't there other quizzes with factual references to the Bible or do they all have an *according to the Bible* note? It hasn't been disproved.

This quiz is false jk jk

Methuselah lived to 969 years old. If it is exactly 150 years old, that I do not know.

And another article with pictures of her :)
