I only knew that one because I went through a very intense Eminem phase when I was younger 😅 There's a lyric in one of his songs that goes "double barrel 12-gauge bigger than Chris Wallace", and I remember being confused for ages because I thought he meant the Fox News anchor 😂
I don't think there's a theme, you seem to have a touch of Theme Paranoia today! Incidentally, you can read about that in my blog, Medical Conditions of a JetPunker
Of course he is, I actually started watching a very long winded series on Netflix about the Notorious B.I.G and Tupac, so I know his name is Christopher Wallace...but I read B.F.G. the Big Friendly Giant...🤦
Woo! Got the threepeat. I only eliminated Corbusier from question 5 and really scratched my brain trying to eliminate anyone else. I just gave up and picked the most Spanish sounding name and it was right!
Great job! I was on my way to a three-peat until I missed questions 9 and 10. It had been almost a year since I had two 10/10’s in a row. Might be a while before I get another chance. :)
I can’t quite remember when I learned about Shiraz, but I remember it because the Iranian government banned making alcohol at some point and it obviously destroyed Shiraz’s wine industry. Now Shiraz now longer comes from Shiraz.
Fun fact: the term “gaslighting” comes from a play/movie called “Gas Light”. It’s about an abusive husband who tries to make his wife think she’s crazy by doing things like turning down all the gas lights in the house and acting like nothing changed. He also moves random objects around and hides her things and tells her that she lost them and is becoming forgetful.
6/10 for me. I fell for the obvious error Pan, afterwards realising it's Pan as in pan-european. Thought Shiraz was a Spanish wine, confused it with Riocha, so picked something else. Also didn't know DireWolf.
Nice, broke into my top 10 scores with this one, at 9,931 😁 No guesses today, did suffer from a little bit of lag, but I don't think it would have made enough difference to give me a new high score so I'm not complaining haha

(a bit of shameless self-promotion)
#1 of my leaderboard so far! It's been a while since that happened
Missed Q6 and Q7 I think about it too long.
