There are 2 types of elephants in the world. Which ones?
African and European
African and American
Asian and European
African and Asian

Wrong, there are 3 maybe 5, as I have pointed out earlier.

Vikings were warriors from ________.
England
Scandinavia *
Poland
France

What can I say? Prejudice! The Vikings were more than warriors: the wikipedia describes them thus:
"The term Viking (from Old Norse víkingr) is customarily used to refer to the Norse (Scandinavian) explorers, warriors, merchants, and pirates who raided, traded, and settled in wide areas of Europe and the North Atlantic islands from the late eighth to the mid-eleventh century."

What is a pig ?
Food
Car
Animal *
Dance

I eat pigs, so I'd say it's a food animal.

How many nations are part of the European Union?
31
19
27
10

This number changes regularly as new countries/nations/states (call them whatever you like) join the EU, so a date is surely in order.

what type of soldier was used in Persia before anyone else?
Archer Cavalry
chariots
Phalanx
War Elephant *

Actually it was in India not Persia.

Who were the first to come up with the idea of the senate?
Greek
Romans *
Turks
Celt

Depending on the source it was either the Spartans (Greek) or the Romans.

Who won Footballs WC in Italy 1990?

Who won the Football WC in Italy 1990?
Just a spelling mistake: Football not Footballs, and a missing "the".

Name of the squirrel from ice age?

What is a male cow called?
Pig
Ram
Deer
Bull

A cow is a female of several species (that has borne calves), among them cattle, bull is an intact male (non castrated) of the same species, so the question isn't really wrong, just badly formulated.


What pH does distilled water have?
7
6
9
8
Actually it may be as low as 5, due to reaction with CO2 in the athmospher, so the question should be "What pH does freshly distilled water have?"


Who was the founder of democracy in Portugal?
Mario Alberto Soares *
Augusto Pinochet
Jose Maria Aznar
Felipe Gonzales

Mario Alberto Soares was borne 1924, Portugal was a republic from 1910–1926, and a constitutional monarchy from 1834–1910, so he can't have founded that democracy. He did however take part in building the present democracy in Portugal, after the fall of the dictatorship in 1974.

Martin, you have some excellent posts here but they are buried in a pile of lexical details (like the PH for water, it is 7. Ofcourse it can go to 5 as you said but when someone posts a question some things have to be allowed as granded, so fresh is one of these things)

Please try to post ony mistakes that actually affect the knowleadge gained from the question or make the answers ambiquous (like your ADD DATE posts)

Both fish oil and canola oil contains omega 3

In the garden of eden, what was the forbidden fruit?
A cherry

A pear
An apple

Actually no one knows, neither the Bible, Torah, nor Qur'an tells us.... maybe I should post a question on that.

Which of these can contain the poison nightshade when green?
apple
tomato
carrot
potato *

The poison in green potatoes is not called nightshade, that's the name of the family of plants potatoes and tomatoes belong to, and green tomatoes also contain a poison similar to the one found in potatoes, though it's less poisonous.

According To The Guiness Book Of World Records, Who Is The Best Selling Female Recording Artist Of All Time?
Celine Dion

Madonna

This one needs a date, though it might stand for a long time. And a minor spelling mistake the book is called Guinness Book of World Records, two n's.

Who was China's first Emperor?
Chiu Xian
Kung Fut Ze
Lao Tzu

The correct answer to this one is: Qin Shi Huang
From what I have been able to find out "Huang di" means either "Ruler of Earth" or "Yellow Emperor" the first is simply the Chinese title for the Emperor, while the later is a mythical figure.

125000 kg
250000 kg
100000 kg
136000 kg <- Marked as correct

I found these two on wikipedia.org:

"The weight of an individual 30 metres (98 ft) long is believed by the American National Marine Mammal Laboratory (NMML) to be in excess of 180 metric tons (200 short tons). The largest blue whale accurately weighed by NMML scientists to date was a female that weighed 177 metric tons (195 short tons)."

Doomlord your argument is correct, although the date should have been included as Viridel said. But thats the only change. As for the other one you foun about Sundays, it will be deleted. I am guessing questions started slipping off to general players again due to the lack of major hunts on our behalf. Those crystal horde NPC's make it quite a problem.
