It requires knowing three things: who Liv Tyler is, who her father is, and what band he leads. If you don't know one of the three, it's hard to get that right.

I got Aerosmith, and I have taste (I don't care for their music but that isn't important).

Maybe because Areosmith can be misspelled quite easily

I'm surprised 43% of people knew about krav maga. Is it really that well-known? I'd only heard of it because of Archer.

It's pretty well known, mainly because of how brutal and dangerous it is (things like targeting eyes/testicals) and that it encourages you to do anything to win a fight, unlike many martial arts which often tend to have some sort of honour system or are meant to be used in self-defence.

The whole point of krav maga is that it's not a sport. It's not karate or jiu jitsu, there aren't specific guidelines about what contact is/isn't allowed for the sake of fair competition.

Krav maga is actual self-defense. It's meant for the real world, not a dojo. In the real world there is no "honor code." If your life is in danger, you gotta survive by any means necessary.

I know it from Despicable Me 2. Lucy uses a combination of "jiu-jitsu, krav maga, Aztec warfare, and krumping."

Okay, I knew about it before that, but it still makes me laugh.

All developing larvae in the bee hive are fed royal jelly for three days. Those targeted to become queens are put in special cells and fed large amounts of it. Our beekeeper has put about 60 hives on our pond bank for the purpose of raising queens to sell. More people who have the right environment should get into that business to help bees survive. They are needed to pollinate our food crops, and they are dying in large numbers due to the varroa mite, lack of pollen diversity, and certain pesticides.

Yes! Also it's easy to build a little habitat with paper rolls to attract mason bees in the yard. They're adorable and help pollinate the neighbourhood.

I only got two that were guessed by less than 50% of people, but still, the least-guessed answer is the one that's included in the question? Every word in Thomas A. Swift's Electric Rifle is capitalised, people. You know what that means. It's clearly an ER.

A carnivore's diet consists of mainly or exclusively flesh. While herbivores digestive systems are specifically adapted to consume plant matter as their primary source of nutrients. And while Omnivores eat both flesh and plants they do not fall into either of the previous two categories, first because their diet does not consist mainly or exclusively of flesh and second because they are not specifically adapted to process plant matter (which is generally more difficult to digest than flesh). So no omnivores are not in fact both carnivores and herbivores.

Technically, Arronax, Ned Land, and Conseil were the ones to travel 20000 leagues under the sea. Nemo sailed under the Nautilus for years, possibly decades, before and after the book.

As would frugivores, fungivore, insectivores, etc ... I also came here to complain about this carnivore/herbivore binary that is always presented.

The question should be worded in the form of a definition for ominovry rather than examples of what it is not.

The TASER question is very misleading.

1) The TASER was not invented by Thomas A Swift

2) the book title it is referring to is 'Tom and His Electric Rifle' (Tom not Thomas and no middle initial)

The TASER is was invented by Jack Cover and named TASER as both a loose acronym of the book title and in a format to sound like LASER (which Jack felt was similar to his invention as they both fire 'beams').
