By far the most common term used for the Catholic service is Mass; perhaps it could at least be an option? I would also take issue with using the term "wafer" - we don't believe it to be that - perhaps it could be rephrased as "During which Catholic service would one receive Holy Communion?"

Protestants receive communion as well and it's called "communion." No one care if you call it "wafer" or whatever.

Whether you believe it's a wafer or not doesn't change the fact that it's still a wafer

Emoticons are done with text symbols, like so - :) :p :o, etc. Emojis are their own thing.

I wondered this too... tried all sorts of things after emoticons

(weird actually, I would not consider : ) icons, while I would consider little pictures as the "emojis" above icons.

In the original movie Frankenstein (1931) the assistant's name was Fritz and in the son of Frankenstein he was called Igor. Both parts played by Dwight Frye

According to my friends the opposite of blue is destroyed.

They don't even like well done.

Medium rare is about as high as they go.

Film festival should be accepted for the last question, "at what festival could one earn a palme d'or". Cannes is Where it is, a film festival is What it is. Atleast as an acceptable answer.

Exhibit A: hay bales that you sit on typically made of straw. BOOM

Hay is made from freshly cut green grasses or other plants that are dried and used to feed livestock. Straw is made from the dried hollow stems of plants such as wheat or oats that remain after harvesting the grain, but it has little nutritive value. It is used more for insulation, bedding, mulch, etc. There is a difference, and straw bales are much more comfortable to sit on. People sometime bale dried cornstalks after harvest in a bad hay year, but that isn’t straw, either.

However, with big round bales of hay going for as much as $80 each in this area last year, I’d say Rumplestiltskin had already spun them into gold, so maybe hay should work.😉

For the guillotine question I typed "its creator" and when it wasn't accepted, moved on to the next question. Afterwards I've started wondering if "its inventor" would have been accepted (I'm not a native speaker, so it's hard to tell the difference), so I looked it up and it turns out, Guillotin did not even invent the damn thing! So I would be wrong either way, but at least I learned something new.

"peaty" is often used to refer to the Ray Peat diet. In that context, the correct answer would probably be orange juice.
