Also, don't the Moonies also give out flowers at airports? Or used to back in the 80s and 90s? I still have their Illuminati card. Did anyone else try Sex Panther before Obsession?
I was thinking it was the Moonies, too. And haha, Sex Panther immediately came to mind, though I knew it was Obsession (hurrah for perfumes I can't afford!)
Nah, the Bagwan was a weird sex cult that ended up in that remote compound in Oregon, trying to poison people in the neighboring towns. No airport love shared there. :-)
I try hew too, according to wiktionary (you-page) it does rhyme in certain dialects. It made more sense to me than some other rhymes on jetpunk (which even after seeing the answer I could not get to rhyme with eachother no matter which type of pronunciation I tried)
Anyone else try Tigress for the perfume answer? No idea if they still make it, but seems like everyone was wearing it in the '70s and its cloying scent gave me a headache.
Tried Tigress again even though it was made by Faberge, but it seems to me if Sex Panther is accepted then Tigress should be in the running, too. The lid was even covered in fake tiger fur.
While obviously Scotland is a region (every named piece of land can be described as a region), using that name to describe it can feel a little dismissive, because it is much more than that. It would be akin as defining Obama as a 'mammal', or Stephen Hawking as 'someone who passed high school'.
Nation would be a much better, non-contentious definition in that context.
It’s a place that any Scot with education and money gets out of the minute they possibly can. Then, for the rest of their lives, bore everyone within earshot about how wonderful the old place is (so long as they never have to live there ever again).
Wikipedia: "A sphere is a geometrical object in three-dimensional space that is the surface of a ball". Thus, it has an area, not a volume, and that surface area is 4*pi*r^2.
The question is fine, this is what people mean when talking about the 'volume of a sphere'. But yes, technically the volume of a sphere is 0, as it's only the 'edge' of a ball. Same with 'circle' versus 'disk'.
So I would accept 'ball' as an alternative answer.
Could you please accept diplodocus for the brontosaurus question? They are all part of the same diplodocidae family, and diplodocus was the star of the Jurassic Walking with Dinosaurs episode. I get that you are trying to throw people off with brontosaurus not being a real dino thing, but I think diplodocus should be a right answer too, as it is worded.
Brontosaurus is closer related to Apatosaurus than Diplodocus is, being in the same subfamily of Apatosaurinae. As there are no other genera that are currently placed for certain in this subfamily, Brontosaurus should still be the only valid answer to this question.
You could perhaps argue that the question should be reworded to say "the closest relative" instead of "a close relative," but I think the question is still pretty valid and clear in its intent.
But, as it is worded, diplodocus is a totally valid answer, if not the best answer. I am not saying the question needs to be changed, or even the answer. I just think it should work as a type in answer (like misspellings do). Because, they are in fact members of the same family. It would be like If a question was looking for a close lion relative that shared their habitat, but accepted only leopard, and not cheetah. Sure, leopard is closer, but cheetah should still count, right?
This was a big thing in the US until 1992. They, and many religious and political movements, would canvas in airports: they would hand out flowers and flyers, try to get travellers to talk about their organisation's beliefs, and ask for donations. People disliked it, but often gave money to shake off the asker.
The 1992 Supreme Court case International Society for Krishna Consciousness v. Lee ruled that airports were allowed to ban them, and most airports did so.
I haven't heard of much religious canvassing in airports outside the USA. I'm not sure why.
Nation would be a much better, non-contentious definition in that context.
