I typed in "I hate it when" and the #1 answer was "a chinchilla eats the universe." I don't think many people would guess that. #4 was "I hate it when Voldemort uses my shampoo," and #5 was "I hate it when Voldemort steals my Nutella." I guess that's how he earned his reputation and as that which cannot be named...
great idea for a quiz. Though I bet you could come up with some more interesting suggestions if you looked. I guess the truly bizarre ones would just be too hard to guess though.
"I bet you could come up with some more interesting suggestions if you looked" Good grief - you just can't avoid a dig, can you? I'm sure your rip-off version of this quiz is the bestest quiz ever ever ever.
I love when people google things like these. Makes it easier to get an answer without asking dumb questions yourself. :D I'm not saying that all of these are dumb.
The typical American can't distiguish different accents from England. I lived there 5 years and can tell the difference between someone from Norfolk and Suffolk. It just took some time
Having actually worked beside, lived with, and known at length many British people with British accents, they don't sound smart at all to me... I think this is just the product of British accents being the go-to accent for smart people in American movies, TV shows, etc... and often the voice on educational documentary programs.
It's curious, isn't it? I think people perceive our accents differently. I saw one study where they gave Britons and Americans ten accents and asked them to put them in order of preference. Both put RP English at the top, but while the Brits preferred Scottish and Welsh lilts, the Americans really liked Cockney and Scouse. And hasn't Glaswegian recently been voted the sexiest accent by Americans? Whereas a lot of Brits will associate a Glaswegian accent with being uneducated, lower-class or just incomprehensible.
I had no clue what Unladen Swallow referred to so I read the Wikipedia article on the subject and now....I still have no clue what Unladen Swallow means. Can anyone enlighten me (in plain English)?? Thank you....
Thank you for the explanation. I did get the Monty Python reference but there is a Wikipedia article which states: "Unladen Swallow was a project sponsored by Google that was an optimization branch of CPython. It aimed to achieve its goals by supplementing CPython's custom virtual machine with a just-in-time compiler built using LLVM." I was hoping someone could translate THAT for me!
Python is a programming language. In the article that you talk about, they say: "Like many things regarding the Python language, "Unladen Swallow" is a Monty Python reference, specifically to the gag about the airspeed velocity of unladen swallows in Monty Python and the Holy Grail"
I feel bad for this, but moon was not the first thing I thought of for "what is a blue ___" . I won't type what I tried first, but I doubt I'm the first one who did it, LOL.
Why are so many soccer players named - it should be Traore or Rodriguez. There are only 2 Ronaldo's I know of, but there are just so many Traore's and Rodriguez's.
What is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?..........lol..........okay. Yes, I've always wondered about that. Also, what is the take-off thrust of a yellow-bellied nutscratcher?
17, many of these are logical and obvious to some degree but then some are pretty random. I feel like part of it kind of depends on you as a person, for example 1/3 got the one about gasoline, and you're more likely to get it if you like the smell of gasoline. I got that one easily, but then ironically I didn't think of house cuz for me it's just not the first thing that came to mind, I was thinking of car or something like that
Legit did not know that anyone liked the smell of gasoline. I hold my breath when I'm pumping gas. Part of the reason I got an electric lawnmower was so I wouldn't have to smell gas every time I use it.
I quite like like the smell of gas too, but until today I didn't realize it was a common thing. I always just thought I was weird that way, and figured everyone else hated it.
So I actually didn't get that question because it never occurred to me to type that in. In fact, I even tried "smell bad"!!! (And when that didn't work, went off searching in totally different directions.)
I hate it when I lose ...
or just
I hate it when
those are even funnier
The question is a reference to "Monty Python and the Holy Grail", a very funny movie which you should rent immediately if you haven't seen it.
Yes, and marry our cousins.
What are you talking about Shelbyville? Why would we want to marry our cousins?
Because they're so attractive.
Ohh!!!
Oh dear god. 😆

dogEssentially the question remains the same, it is just asked differently. If fish is considered meat, it is of course not vegetarian.
People... please, no. Facepalm.
I'm baffled. Why is this a common query?
I looked it up and all I can say is that, yes, apparently they can get cancer.
