Oldiesmann: Finally got the AmazonBot situation under control. I basically changed some server settings to tell AmazonBot that it's not allowed to access anything on the site. That should fix the speed issues we've been experiencing lately

I just want to add to your comments on #14, Chia, that an American skunk is part of the same genus as the civet cats so  I think I would take a pass on that coffee blend.

Chia

Junee..Wecome among the Tea Drinkers ;)

MarsGal

Chia, another good quiz. Thanks.

Marilyne, who sang "You Gotta Be Taught"? I forgot all about South Pacific. It is one of the very,very few broadway plays I like.

Radioman34


Marilyne

MarsGal - The song, "You've Got to be Careful Taught", from South Pacific, was sung by the character Lieutenant Cable. He and the Polynesian girl, Liat, were the ill-fated lovers.  I was fortunate to see the Broadway Musical, when it came to Los Angeles in 1952. Janet Blair, played Nellie, in the traveling road company, so I didn't see the original star, Mary Martin.

Chia

Marilyne and Marsgal here is the song You've got to be taught from the writers and artist who sang it originally in the Broadway Show...Written so many years ago and so timely  due to the present situation here in the United States.
You've Got To Be Taught

Marilyne

Chia - thank you for posting the YouTube video of "You've Got To Be Taught". A pleasure to see Rogers and Hammerstein, and hear the man who sang it in the original Broadway production. Excellent!

Chia

#1641
Marilyne...You are welcome..It is always good practice to be able to use a format that eliminates using the whole address with its dots and letters and being able to type the name of the song taught me ages ago by Mavin, Radioman.and making it possible to just click on the name itself

Chia

Radioman...You are welcome

rutumi

Sorry, I came in late, but I would like to add something to:

8. Which element, previously used in the production of felt, lead to the expression "mad as a hatter"?..ANSWER..MERCURY..BY..RADIOMAN

"Workers in the felt-hat industry dipped furs into vats of mercuric nitrate solution to make them pliable for shaping. In the process they absorbed the compound through their skin and inhaled mercury vapor. The result: tremors, loss of teeth, difficulty in walking, and mental disability. Legend has it that the Mad Hatter in Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland was patterned after such a victim. In the United States the hatter's disease was known as the "Danbury shakes" -- after the Connecticut hatmaking city."
(from the National Geographic, October 1972, p 511)
Kats are krazy, kalm or kollected, but mostly kôôl

Chia

Thanks for the added information Rutumi...So happy that the hat making industry seems to be in a decline lately...

Radioman34

If I recall correctly, it was decided that Name That Tune would be more appropriate if it were located in the same forum as the trivia quiz, so here goes. Two correct answers for starters.
NAME THAT TUNE

1:   strike while the iron is hot
2:    don't treat me so mean,
3:    a man ain't supposed to cry
4:    the way I feel tonight
5:    the magic that you do
6:    in spite of my tears
7:    you're out of sight
8:    we've often rewound the clock   
9:    that rose covered valley
10:   packages from home,

Chia
