From what I remember plankton is an umbrella term that includes more than just krill. However, I think blue whales only eat krill??? Idk I made the same error too

Isn't cartilage also a type of connective tissue in bone joints?
CripplingVelocity

Level 58
Dec 16, 2015
Yes it is a type of connective tissue, but it does not connect bone to bone in the joints. Cartilage only serves to prevent bone from rubbing on bone, which is why when cartilage wears away, moving that particular joint can and will be extremely painful, but the joint is still intact and functioning properly due to the ligament connecting the bones. So it is connective tissue, and it is found in joints, but it does not actually connect the bones.

I was enormously displeased when I typed in "dwarves" since it gave multiple examples, and then had to correct "smammoth" for the next question.

I'm probably the only one who thought of the Cat in the Hat first for who said "Out, damn'd spot".

He never said it . . . but you know that's what he was thinking the whole time.

People will call almost any copper alloy that isn't brass bronze, see eg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arsenical_bronze, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aluminium_bronze. It's not just tin.

I definitely feel that plankton and zooplankton should be accepted, given krill are a form of zooplankton. It seems overly pedantic to insist on only the specific answer "krill".

backing up everyone else who thinks "plankton" should count. then again, I'm also the dork who thinks "Shakespeare" should count on the "damn'd spot" question, so maybe don't listen to me ever.
