Well, people in non-English speaking countries may know the these in a translated form, but not in the original one. You may be surprised, but people in Serbia, for example, are familiar with the expression "Hej, Šefe, koji ti je vrag", which is very far from the literal translation of "What's up, Doc". And, although I did know the answer, it is far from common knowledge here, although its translated form is well known.

If you count up all the people in the world who grew up in countries that were either majority Muslim/Christian/Jewish or where there was a sizable Muslim/Christian/Jewish minority, I think you would get over 5 billion people. Maybe if you're from China or Japan you might not have heard of Moses.

They don't even have to be religious books or shows. The Simpson's did their version of the Moses story, and the story is referenced in so many non religious places that it hardly matters if you are religious at all. if you don't know this, you are, without a doubt, in the minority.

While we all learn in school to type "Mt. Everest" when the question contains "Mountain + big", that is not always correct.

Mauna Kea is known as the "tallest" mountain of the world. Further, the summit of Cimborazo is the highest point of the Earth (closest to the sun and furthest from the centre of the Earth).

Mt. Everest is just the location where the air pressure at ground is minimum.

Oct 11, 2016
You are correct that Mauna Kea is the tallest mountain, However Chimborazo is not the highest above sea level, with an elevation of 6,263m, compared to Everest's 8,848m. Chimborazo is simply the point on the earth's surface that is furtherest from the earth's centre, due to it's location along the equatorial bulge.

No. While invertebrates have no bones, some vertebrates don't either but still have a spine. Sharks and other cartilaginous fish (rays, skates) have no bones but are classified as vertebrates because they still have a spinal (aka "vertebral") column, just made out of cartilage instead of bone.

The original movie, when it came out in 1977, was just called Star Wars. No episode number, no subtitle. "Episode IV: A New Hope" wasn't added until it was re-released in 1981, and it wasn't commonly called anything but Star Wars until the release of The Phantom Menace in 1999.

So, when The Empire Strikes Back was released in 1980, it was the sequel to Star Wars.
