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.

Thanks for another engaging quiz! 

angel..thanks for your comment...I'll  stick to Tea 

Thank you once again Chia!  Keep up the good work!

Chia, another good quiz.    No fancy coffee for me also.

You are welcome Marilyne...

Junee..Wecome among the Tea Drinkers

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.

tHANK YOU Chya

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.

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

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!

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

Radioman...You are welcome

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)

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

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,

#8...Anything Goes
#9...When The Moon Comes Over The Mountain

The only one I think I know is #2. Is that from Ray Charles and Hit the Road, Jack?

One of my favorites, Angel.



5. Only You.
