Suspect the “alterego” comment is a clever comment referring to the huge-ego Tesla AC vs huge-ego Edison DC thing.

Apparently, the AC/DC in the band name is supposed to stand for Anti-Christ/Death to Christ. Source: I've heard that somewhere.

The version I heard was Anti-Christ / Devil's Child. All these are idiotic nonsense dreamed up during the "witch hunts" of the Satanic Panic.

What? Nobody ever called it “alternate” current! Quizmaster, you’re getting too lenient!!

No, alternate current is not correct! It is only alternating current. The word "alternating" describes the cyclical alternation of voltage from positive to negative and vice versa. It doesn't imply that it is an alternate form of current.

Are there no albatrosses in North America? I thought they had the largest wingspan. Of any living bird, not fossils.

There are some albatrosses that live in the north Pacific (Hawaii) but their wingspan is about 2 m whilst the condor has a wingspan of about 3 m. The biggest albatrosses live in the southern hemisphere.

I do agree with you but the name gin itself is derived from either the French genièvre or the Dutch jenever, which both mean "juniper".

Hi quizmaster, could you please add sloes (sloeberries) as an option for flavouring gin? Sloe gin is a huge thing in the UK.

Got really lucky on the Penguin question, only reason I know is because they just announced it's being changed to "Oz Cobb" for some reason lol
