Chia. You certainly had us all thinking this time. Thank for the quiz.

You're welcome Bubble and Junee

Great quiz, Chia! I was wondering about those four parts!

Thank you Chia!  I think I've been watching too many credit rolls, at the end of a movie!  
Grip, Gaffer and Best Boy, are always listed, but of course I should have known that those "underlings" have to report to the main man - the Cinematographer!

thanks angel..I was wondering too...why I picked that question????lol

Marilyne...you are more than welcome

Junee, your answers are correct and so are your's Chia. Kalpana Chawla died along with six others when the space ship Columbia exploded on re entry in 2003. Mission control made the difficult decision not to tell them of difficulties. They had had a successful trip with many scientific discoveries and it was her second space flight.

15.   What does the term analphabetic mean?

#2  Toxic
#6 Robbie Burns

2.  Which term, noxious, or toxic implies more harm?

     toxic

13. Is electricity matter only?

     I would answer No.  Matter has mass (I think).  Electricity involves the movement of electrons.

#7: The Forces Sweetheart >>> Vera Lynn (Still living!)

#10: . . . Heaven and Hell, I have friends in both places >>> Mark Twain

Don, you are correct. #s2 & 6

Rick, Don had #2 and you are incorrect with #13. Read the question over for #13. It implies matter is a part of electricity. What other part makes up electricity? I'm going to hold that question for Rick.

Marilyn, you are correct and I didn't know she was still living!

#12..Varun Jain
#15..An Illiterate Person Who Cannot Read

Bubble, you are correct with #3 and incorrect with #8. Please try again.

Chia, your answers were correct however you had already taken your previous two questions.

So, I am opening the quiz to everyone else for their extra answers.

A new quiz, my first in a long while.  Final questions

1.  True or false? Peach pits helped save the lives of soldiers during World War I.

4.  The human body is capable of how many different movements?

8.   Which term means, a grammatical effect which exploits two words or expressions that sound the same or similar, but has two different meanings?

13. Is electricity matter only?

1. true and  walnut shells too.

8. double entendre?

Bubble, while #1 is correct, #8 is still incorrect but you are closer!

Peach pits helped save the lives of soldiers during World War I.  A)  Peach pits â€" which were collected by the millions â€" were used to make the activated charcoal in the gas masks Allied soldiers wore to protect themselves against the Germans’ deadly chlorine gas attacks.

I'm off to look up walnuts.

4.  The human body is capable of how many different movements?

8.   Which term means, a grammatical effect which exploits two words or expressions that sound the same or similar, but has two different meanings?

13. Is electricity matter only?

While surprising, I only found this about walnuts.

"THE walnut tree is the plant version of the domestic dog or the horse. It has been a part of human life for millennia and is one of the most useful living things around. You’ll often find them near homes, churches, and pubs â€" a sure sign of a close relationship. People plant them partly because of the shade their large bowl-like canopies offer, partly because of the delicious fruit they bear and partly because they seem to ward off flies, probably due to a toxic vapor emitted by the leaves.

A natural insecticide? Yes, but it’s much more than that. The chemical responsible, juglone (5-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone), is also toxic to a number of plant species and to aquatic life. The tree embarks on a kind of chemical warfare to keep intruders off its patch. Most potent of all is the black walnut, found in eastern North America. Juglone is produced mainly by the roots, from where it leaches into the soil and interferes with the respiration of nearby plants, which turn yellow, wilt and eventually die. The chemical is used as a natural herbicide.

“NASA has even used pulverized walnut shells as insulation in its rocket nose-cones”
Is juglone harmful to humans? Although there have been reported cases of toxicity in horses, there have been none in people. It seems juglone may even have medicinal properties: Chinese herbalists have long used it to get rid of intestinal parasites such as tapeworms. The edible fruit of the walnut is certainly beneficial to health, rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and omega-3 fatty acids."

YOu should go to YouTube and look up the Walnut harvesting one, it is awesome!

Tomereader, my paternal uncle Raymond, the oldest of the eight brothers and the longest lived, died last January at 106. He and his family had a nut orchard or probably still do in Washington. I know they had walnuts and I remember we were told not to touch them as the stains were permanent on clothes. Probably not that good for skin either. I learned a lot from the video and the tree shaking machine showed how canny humans can be!

Bubble your article was fascinating on the ingenuity of man. I am a great fan of history, my degree is in Medieval Warfare and how it shaped that world and the city states. But I never knew about nuts before I saw the bit about peach pits and thought of this quiz. Thank you and thank Tomereader for telling me about all of this!

Now back to the quiz, here is a hint for #4; 2,000; 26,000; 93,000; or 700,000?

4.  The human body is capable of how many different movements?

8.   Which term means, a grammatical effect which exploits two words or expressions that sound the same or similar, but has two different meanings?

13. Is electricity matter only?

8. homophone ?

Sorry, rutumi, that is incorrect.

One very broad clue is that it's a form of humor.

"13. Is electricity matter only? Holding for Rick"

I'm not sure exactly what you want.

Could it be "Holes"? One theory says electricity is the movement of holes.  Other theory says electrons move from atom to atom. I suppose atoms have mass.  Atoms are made of electrons and protons and a nucleus (even the nucleus has a breakdown)

I'm curious about this one.

I'm looking at the question again.
"13. Is electricity matter only?".      I answered "no" originally so if that's not correct "YES" must be the answer. It seems to be looking for a yes-no answer.
