Just a personal opinion, but I don't think Odie is stupid. I find him rather endearing, but I don't think I ever met a dog that I didn't like. I even felt sorry for poor old Cujo - it wasn't his fault he was sick.

I think Odie is definitely far from intelligent, regardless of your feelings towards him.

What sound would you say a cricket makes, then?

One of the many fascinating things I've learned from Jetpunk is how the perception of animal sounds differs from culture to culture. As someone raised in the USA, I think chirp is spot on, but I'm curious about other interpretations.

general here means 'over a broad range of topics, non-specific', so that doesn't preclude it from being difficult.

Great quiz. Could you please change the answer "Prince William and Kate" to being "The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge William and Catherine" please? Kate is a nickname and not her title.

Amazing that two different JetPunk users discovered mosquitoes in Iceland years before scientists.
