2. The Capitol of Spain is Madrid (from 1562 anyway.
3. The man who flew the first plane was Orville Wright.
4. OOh! I know this Jeanne Calment had the longest lifespan in history 122 years and 165(?) days. Of course, the real oldest person is Methuselah in the Bible he lived to be 969 years old!
5. 70% of them do. The other 30% give birth.

7. Russia.

Is your second post the answers to mine?
(March 13, 2011 - 4:58 pm)
Yes, it is! Sorry, I thought I'd replied to your post.

1. When did World War 2 End? 1945...? I really have no idea.
2. What’s the capital of Spain? Ummm...*looks around blankly*
3. Who was the first person to ever fly a plane? The Wright Brothers! I think.
4. Who was the oldest person ever found? I don't know her name, but I think she was 116...
5. Do snakes lay eggs? Yes, but rattlesnakes and other poisonous snakes such as copperheads hold the eggs inside until they hatch and then give live birth to as many as 100 babies. *realizes she sounds like a nature geek and shuts up*
6. What is the difference between a hurricane and a tsunami? A tsunami is an enormous tidal wave; a hurricane is like a very bad thunderstorm.
7. What’s the largest country in the world? Ummm...Russia?
8. Can you name all the planets (in order please!)? Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, *skips Pluto because some idiot scientist claims it isn't a planet-HAHAHA*, and that other planet they discovered, way beyond Pluto...*waves hand vaguely*
9. Who was the daughter of Anne Boleyn and Henry VIII? Um...Mary, Queen of Scots, wasn't it? Or was it Queen Elizabeth I?
10. Which mammal lays eggs? Two. Playtypuses and echidnas. *is a nature geek again*
11. What are the 6 most widely spoken romance languages? Because I flipped through really fast and caught glimpses of previous posts, I think you meant Romanian. In which case...I still have no idea. *frowns*
12. Who was the youngest male president? Um...wait, there have been female presidents? Or is this not for the US?
Andy P. C. says gdpa. Grandpa? Maybe I should ask my grandparents for knowledge...

You got: 3,5,6,7,8, 9(Queen Elizabeth I), 10
What do you mean female president? It says male. You can look up romance languages on Wiki.
(March 18, 2011 - 7:44 am)
I think she asked her question about female presidents because if there haven't been any, there's no need to say male at all. But no, there haven't been female U.S. presidents.
(And geekiness is a good thing, no matter what the dictionary implies! I'm a nature geek as well, and several other kinds that are irrelevant here. Then again, it can annoy some people if you say too much... But surely they can't complain on the answers to a quiz!)
(March 18, 2011 - 11:31 am)
@Elizabeth M.: Oh, you did mean romance. ;) Well, all the presidents of the U.S. have been male, so I was wondering, "Why did she ask male president if there haven't been any female?" Of course, if you were including all countries in this, I understand.

1. No idea! 1945?
2. Madrid.
3. Define plane. A plane with an engine? One of the Wright brothers. But there were already gliders.
4. Uhhh... there was some guy from China who was preserved in the middle of a desert, looking totally lifelike... or if you meant "skeleton" I think there was a recent find... I have no idea...
5. Most. Some give live birth and others form eggs that HATCH INSIDE THEIR BODY. That must feel really weird.
6. A hurricane is a vortex thunderstorm. A tsunami is a huuuuuuge wave.
7. Russia maybe? I think.
8. In what order?! I'll do it in alphabetical order. Earth, Jupiter, Mars, Mercury, Neptune, Saturn, Uranus, ...ugh. I've run out. I don't even know if there are any others! [Don't forget Venus! from Admin]
9. Don't know. Mary 1?
10. Monotremes.
11. Hm. French, German, Spanish, Italian... Portugese... and Swedish???????
12. JFK, I thought. I could be wrong, though.
