I believe stage fright typically only refers to acting in front of an audience, not public speaking in general. But the concepts are overall very similar.

I assume Adam and Eve also had daughters, but women are rarely mentioned in the Bible.

God's tally: almost everyone (flood), almost everyone (apocalypse), two cities (Sodom and Gomorrah), almost all the boys in Egypt...

Awww, could you please accept some variations of Cain? I tried Kane, Kain, and Kayne, but didn't think of a C. I've never actually seen the name written, as I've never read the Bible, but I think some credit should go to figuring out the little riddle in the question, yeah?

Theoretically in English they should be spelled Kyouto and Toukyou. Extra u in Toukyou, but the names we know in Enlgish are a simplified version.

This is always frustrating to me...no...they shouldn't be spelled that way. They are spelled like they are spelled. Every language has different words for foreign cities and countries. Germany is Deutschland in German, Allemagne in French, and Germany in English. Should the English spelling 'technically' be Doitchland or some nonsense? No...because that's not what it is.

Spiderman was not a photographer at the Daily Bugle. It was Peter Parker. Other than that this was a great, challenging quiz. Loved the Bible question. I did not get it correct. However, when I saw the answer I thought "oh yeah, clever"

If the answer is Spider-man, the question should be which fictional character's alter ego is a photographer. Either the question or the answer needs to be adjusted here.

It's not a purely technical distinction, because other people (who weren't photographers) have been "Spider-Man".

Nope. The French refer to lions passant guardant as léopards but they're still lions and have nothing to do with zoological leopards.

Fun fact: "Pard" was an Old English word for a panther, and leo came from Latin for lion, so a leopard is a compound word for a lion panther. Basically the Anglo-Saxons and the Normans didn't know much about what actual big cats looked like.

People love to point to the Flood and mic-drop, but what they fail to remember (or perhaps were never taught) is that for generations beforehand, heavenly beings were coming down and mating with human women, creating a whole race of giant people that were apparently nothing but evil. And these thoroughly evil creatures were corrupting all the humans to where the only people with any good left in them at all were Noah and his family. We have no idea how terrible people were back then, but suffice it to say that if you want rapists and murderers dead now, you'd probably want God to torture these people first before slowly drowning them too.

I like the CREATIVITY of the Cain question, but the word choice is "up to", indicating a maximum of 4 people at the time that Cain murdered Abel. Cain and Abel probably had sisters that weren't mentioned. Consider "at least" as opposed to "up to".

If there were more than four people, Abel would not be "at least" a quarter of the population. The question is fine as is.
