Missed 2 questions because I haven't seen Austin Powers.

Is this peer pressure?

2 questions about Austin Powers does seem a bit excessive

Completely guessed Cancer. Damn Sth Africa.

Level 72

Jan 18, 2016

I guessed cancer after other random guesses that made me laugh while typing them. Best one: rabies.

Does anyone know what a "liftetime" is? I've been trying to Google it, but I keep coming up with nothing.

Level 86

Jul 6, 2017

You're doing something wrong then, as Google clearly redirects you to the word without the typo.

Level 64

Jul 24, 2018

Um, yeah... he was pointing out the typo, which exists in the quiz.

sea bass is horse crap I searched it after i took the quiz and could find 0 mention of alternatives to shark fin soup that use sea bass. not to mention that is not a fact about sharks except in an extremely tangential connection...

Level 89

Sep 15, 2018

I disagree. Sea bass is delicious pan fried with butter ;)

Level 65

Sep 29, 2018

The "fish that was used when sharks weren't available" hint refers to the Dr. Evil hint, not the Chinese dish one.

Thanks for that explanation

Level 89

Sadly, Sharknado is now a shark and tornado disaster movie series.

Level 92

Usually you can get one decent sequel before jumping the shark.

"I am a nice shark, not a mindless eating machine. If I am to change this image, I must first change myself. Fish are friends, not food." - The shark pledge from Finding Nemo :)

Level 87

So what did he eat instead?

Level 82

Nov 12, 2021

'Lifetime' is misspelt.

Level 86

At least the sea bass are ill-tempered.

The oceanic whitetip shark cannot be compared with the other 3. The only information about oceanic whitetip sharks attacking people were after the USS Indianapolis torpedoed on 30 July 1945. And the infomation might be false, beacuse no one can guarantee that they were indeed oceanic whitetip sharks.

Level 61

"Alright sir, can you accurately describe the sharks that were eating your friends?"

Level 85

The requiem shark kills more than the oceanic whitetip
