General Knowledge Quiz #99

Eurovision also thinks that Australia is in Europe. Not really a valid source then.

Georgia is partially in Europe and partially in Asia, as a result different people will give different answers to what continent it 'belongs' to. Eurovision isn't relating to Europe btw, it relates to countries that are part of the European Broadcasting Union (which confusingly does not require the country to be in Europe). Australia however was a special exception, for Eurovision's 60th anniversary because Australia apparently loves the show they were invited as a special 'guest state'.

@hammond it really is, dont just join in on what others are shouting but know what you are saying. Georgia ACTUALLY is partly in europe like a few other countries, they are called transcontinental. You cant say that about cyprus there the discussion is more what people associate it with more or cultural connections, not geography. As a whole country Georgia is generally considered to be in asia though, despite its bit of territory and in europe.

...Who is way more well-known than Allegra and just as important as Gianni and Donatella, as he's the one who managed the company while his brothers and sisters took care of the creative part of it.

look about the same to me

I read in a book (one of Michael Pollan's I think) that there's a theory that women can see a wider range of colors then men because while the cave men were away hunting the woolly mammoth, the ladies were hiking around outside the cave looking for berries and other plant foods. They had to determine which berries were ripe, or which ones of a particular color were poisonous, etc., so their color vision became more detailed. Not sure if there's any truth to that but I know my husband cannot understand why I need to look through a hundred color chips to find just the right shade of white paint. He says they all look the same to him, so maybe there is something to the theory.

I had to look that one up. I am speechless that Brits are charged a tax by the government to watch TV. It's not a minor fee, either. Wow. Please don't mention it again, though. If our politicians here in the US hear about another way to grab more tax dollars, they'll pass it in a heartbeat. They would probably make everyone's license due on the day before the Superbowl, so anyone not paying their fee couldn't watch the ballgame.
