General Knowledge Quiz #165

Yep. With "jugo" you get weird looks and maybe a correction.

I didn't find the question vague at all. I understood exactly what the quiz was asking. I'm just too stoopid to have remembered "crocodile". (still kicking myself)

I was certain the answer was Thylarctos plummetus.

Maybe it is just me, (and the fact that English is not my first language), but I would not say a Mosquito is a predator.. It does not hunt in the typical sense of the word and does not really eat/devour their victims as in consume their flesh.

(I am now picturing how a mosquito would act if it acted like actual predators like a pride of lionesses, quite amusing :D "seeing" a group working together closing in on their prey inching closer and quickly ducking behind something if the prey looks up, like you see in those housecat videos. Ow and ofcourse wiggling their bum before they pounce! hehe ^^ )

Julius Caesar adopted Octavian as his son, and Octavian used the name (Octavian Caesar Augustus). Then Octavian adopted Tiberius, his wife's son by a previous marriage, who also used the surname (Tiberius Caesar). This was the Caesar ruling in Jesus' time.

With time, the surname became more and more linked with the post, and later emperors were known as "the Caesar" even when they were not related to the Caesar family.

Nope. Tel Aviv was the temporary administrative capital of the new state of Israel from when independence was declared in May of 1948, but following the war and invasion initiated the next day by the Arab League, Israel was able to gain control over the Western part of Jerusalem where the capital was moved in December of 1949. All of the embassies stayed in Tel Aviv to avoid angering the Muslim countries who were sore about losing the war they started (some map makers do the same), but the official, de facto, and du jure capital has been Jerusalem for over 70 years now.

In 1967 during another war with its neighbors Israel extended its territorial control over East Jerusalem and the West Bank and has controlled the whole city ever since then. Government buildings like the Knesset are still located in West Jerusalem, though.

In 2018 Donald Trump decided to move the US embassy in Israel to Jerusalem at great expense and for no real gain.

Yes, it's very pedantic. The movie starts on Hoth. The first major plot event is the battle. And frankly, "Hoth" only connotes one answer any way you come at it.

As part of "Fish and chips" they're almost invariably chips in the U.S. (and in some derivations like "chicken and chips", which is what we call fried chicken and fries where I live).

This threw me at first too, but it's actually the original meaning of the word. You would "profess" your vows when you entered a specific religious order. It took another 200-300 years to come to mean a type of job or employment. crazy

One of the dorkier attempts at arrogance I've come across. Kudos.
