9/10, today I discovered the English word 'pulchritudinous'.
Should have guess better with the Latin etymology, but we don't really have derived words from pulcher in French so it was a bit difficult to think of a similar word.
There is a fun book 'The Superior Person's Book of Words' by Peter Bowler. I frequently gift it to my 'superior' friends. 'Mundungus' - 'Hebetate' - 'Jactation'.....good to keep it in the magazine rack in the you-know-what room
9/10. Missed the first one. I got ionic bond stuck in my head and clicked that. Oh well. Pretty good for someone who woke up at 130 am and couldn't get bacck to sleep.
Fun 10/10....a bit slow on the movie, had to think through the most recent 'celebrity' that rang a bell. Attended a wonderful lecture by Jane Goodall at UCLA in '74...happy she had such a long life. Sad that Dian Fossey didn't....
Back on form after a bumpy couple of days, 10/10, 9,904. Could have been faster on a few but that's led to mistakes for me recently, so I was a little more cautious today, but thankfully all questions I was confident on the answers for this time
Maybe I am biased, but I would not call Jane Goodall famous nor necessarily a scientist. She was an anthropologist (a social science, is that a "science") and a primatologist (that's more of a science, I guess, along the lines of zoology). But then again, I would also not call Neil deGrasse Tyson a scientist either -- he barely published, didn't hold a tenure track position at a university, etc. More of a self-promoter and a science educator, with questionable morals.
They are not the consensus. Animal behaviour informs us & it takes years for scientists to observe, discern, and communicate their findings. Wolves, wild horses, bird migrations, elephants, gorillas and chimpanzees - all can teach us.
Do you think (the fictional large-nosed version of) Cyrano de Bergerac would have wanted a rhinoplasty, if available? Personally I think he'd be too proud.

Surprised so few knew the first line of blue suede shoes.
Btw. B is Billy Jean, D is Great Balls of Fire, but where does A come from?
