Trying to have as many kids as possible, to do his part to combat the massive population collapse the world is about to experience. Look it up; we're facing a major crisis. Not enough people are having kids, and this is a global problem. If things continue the way they're currently going, world population increase will level off by mid-century and then rapidly decline.
Maybe. But it increased much more rapidly than it’s projected to decrease. We could see this as a return to a more sustainable population. Plus it’s largely a result of people having more reproductive freedom, which is a good thing!
It's not that simple. An unstable population level can introduce new societal stressors which may lead to more unrest in ways that are hard to predict.
If Musk genuinely wanted to improve the birth rate of the world then he'd offer to pay child support to anyone that wants kids but can't afford it. Him personally having 14 kids is a rounding error on the number of children born each year.
Thinking of the South Africa Natal , I almost missed that question too! But then I remembered, Brasil....my airlines timetable collection from when I was younger has finally helped me lol!
I don't know what Horrible Histories is, but I didn't even think of the lyrics from the musical Six, which it looks like are basically the same. I only remembered it because he was buried next to Jane Seymour, so apparently she was the one he really loved--or at least who gave him a male heir. That's admittedly a much nerdier way than knowing song lyrics!
I looked up Horrible Histories and now, as a kids' TV writer, I'm going to watch it! I think our closest American equivalent would be the Who Was? books and the Who Was? Show on Netflix. But did Six plagiarize Horrible Histories?? :)
I'm on a roll lately, 10/10 again, 9,917 😁 The salmon was a bit of an educated guess that lost me some bonus time, but I knew the rest.
Also, I see a lot of people are getting the Pillars of Creation mixed up with the Pillars of Hercules. Including Gibraltar as a decoy answer was diabolical haha
You always surprise me by the things you don't know. I thought the story of the salmon who beats itself half to death to get up river to reproduce then die was common knowledge.
It makes me feel clever when I know something you don't 🤣
I agree with jeg, for me that is something like knowing kangaroos has pouches, or that turtles lay eggs. something you have heard many times by the time you are like 6, or at least 8. It is the thing documentaries focus on when salmon is the subject. Their struggle followed by death.
It is indeed fascinating where one's strength and weaknesses are. :)
Well, Durban used to be called Port Natal, and it's on the Bay of Natal, and in the province of KwaZulu-Natal, so you were certainly justified in thinking that.
I only missed the pillars of creation, which is that famous Hubble photograph of the two columns of interstellar gas. I didn't know it had a name, but I should have. I mean I'm sitting in my living room facing William Anders' photograph Earthrise mounted up on my wall! d'oh
Divorced, beheaded and died. Divorced, beheaded, survived. So I knew he had six sorry wives, and some said he ruined their lives.
Had no problem with Q10, I know enough about Henry and his wives.

Monica Lewinsky, haha!
Maybe...
