Are you serious or making a joke? If you are serious, the questions reads "the" Milky Way. Otherwise it would read a Milky Way candy bar.

I don't think irony is the right word. It's just a joke. Alanis Morissette would probably disagree, but she doesn't really know the meaning of the word either. (coincidences, bad luck, and sarcasm =/= irony)

Some issue with this.

1) Botulium toxin and BTX should be allowed for botox answer as this is the scientific name

2) Bishops aren't just for Catholics, they exist also for many other forms of Christianity

Fix this please

I agree that the scientific name for Botox should be accepted. However, there is no need to change the bishop clue. Just because there are bishops in other denominations of Christianity doesn't make the clue incorrect.

What on Earth is this thing you refer to as, as a 'hippo'? And how is this relevant to this quiz? Never head of that before! Oooohhh.... now I see! Nearly lost the entire meaning of the word without the 'potamus'!? /s

The etymology of "hippopotamus" stuck with me by linking it with the word "Mesopotamia", which is the region of present-day Iraq that basically lies between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers.

Mesos = between

Potamos = river(s)

Makes me wonder if the name of the Potomac River in Washington D.C. doesn't ultimately translate to River River. (there was an Algonquin village named "Patawomeck" along the river, whose name is very similar to the part of the river named "Patawomke", meaning "river of swans")

Howdy love, sorry to say this but i think it would be best if you accepted 'Sao Pualo' without the tilde. Not all keyboards can perform such difficult and tiring tasks, so please make life easier for us quiz takers.

Sagittarius A or Sgt A should be accepted for the center of the universe.

Description is missing a '?'
