What movie sees killer Buffalo Bill, aka Jame Gumb, so insistent about the application of lotion?

Red Dragon
Hannibal
Manhunter
Silence of the Lambs <--- marked as correct

Doesn't this question require someone to have actually seen these movies?

The animated American television sitcom "The Flintstones" played in what prehistoric setting?

Neolithic age
Iron Age
Bronze Age
Stone Age <-- marked as correct

I'd argue that since they're a comic series that shows no regard to history (e.g. dinosaurs, pulled-carts, domesticated animals), this question should be removed.

Who was the youngest actor ever awarded the Academy Award?

Macaulay Culkin
Michael Jackson
Shirley Temple <--- marked as correct
Elizabeth Taylor

Checking here "Wikipedia:Academy Award for Best Actor" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Academy_Award_for_Best_Actor):
Youngest winner: Adrien Brody lead (Timothy Hutton supporting)

From the "Wikipedia:Academy Juvenile Award" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Academy_Juvenile_Award):
1934: Shirley Temple "in recognition of her outstanding contribution to screen entertainment during the year 1934." (Special Award)

This question is confusing on what is actually asked, it sohuld be rewritten.

Thanks, Martin. I know that! I was making a point about spelling. Rules and rulse.

What's confusing? You looked at 2 individual categories of the award and the question is not asking about a specific category it is asking who is the youngest person to be handed an Oscar statuette in ANY category.

Ronaldo is known best for which sport?
soccer/football **
cricket
hockey
baseball

A google search turned up 3 different Ronaldo's on the first page and 1 was Female. this question should have more info. By more info I mean a full name. that is my opinion anyways. I went to basic training in the U.S. Army with 2 Ronaldos, 1 was a first name the other a last name, hows that for irony. and neither is the one mentioned in the question.

Flintstones... Meet the Flintstones,
They're a modern stoneage family.
From the town of Bedrock,
They're a page right out of history.

Let's ride with the family down the street.
Through the courtesy of Fred's two feet.

When you're with the Flintstones,
have a yabba dabba doo time,
a dabba doo time,
we'll have a gay old time


Amongst the available answers, isn't the correct one rather obvious?

Which planet of these can get multiple eclipses at the same moment?

Mercury
Mars
Earth
Jupiter

not incorrect but id like to find out how to search this answer in 4 minutes

If you try searching for eclipses its hard. But if you consider multible eclipses means multiple moons, then Jupiter (63 moons) stands out as by far the most likely answer. Even if it does not, Earth is excluded immediately, then just search number of moons of other 3 (if a player has no idea). It comes up right away, and 63 vs 2 of Mars and 0 of Mercury leave no doubt what to answer

"Who was the youngest actor ever awarded the Academy Award?" is a very different question to "Who is the youngest person to be handed an Oscar statuette in ANY category?".
Which of all academy awards is THE Academy Award asked?

It's an interesting question, I'm only saying that the question needs be rewritten.

OMG, triviality overload ^^

This room is not on the board of the popular murder mystery game, "Clue"?

Ballroom
Lounge
Chamber room <--- marked as correct
Billiard room

Quiz rules: "Do not ask ones that demand lexical knowledge (like dates) or that is known only by a special group (e.g. Magic the Gathering, comics etc.)."
Please remove the question.

Eeny, meeny, miny....?

moe <--- marked as correct

Now this is beyond nursery rhymes...

This is the only insect that can turn its head 360 degrees?

the praying mantis <-- marked as correct
the butterfly
the ladybug
the bumble bee

The question needs rewritting, "Which" instead of "This".

I don't drink either Sherry or Beer, and I'm not a native English speaker, so I had to took it up. This is what I found:
Schooner, in British English, a large sherry glass
Schooner, an Australian name for a 425 ml (15 fl. oz.) beer glass

That to me indicates two possible correct answers.

What is not part of Canada?
Baffin Island
Victoria Island
North Island
Somerset Island


Not sure how this is useful knowledge

the four lovers was a previous name of which famouse group?

Just needs editing for capitalization, grammar and spelling - that's all. How this got passed with some of the other marginal spelling mistakes that get rejected is rather annoying.

Who was the apostle whom Jesus loved?
Paul
Matthew
Peter
John <-------


Well I'd like to believe that he loved all of them, not to mention entire human race.
Adding "the most" would help a little but it would still be a weird question. Implieing that he loved one of them usually means he didn't love others or was indifferent to them.

John 13:23
One of them, the disciple whom Jesus loved, was reclining next to him.

The bible text specifically refers to the disciple Jesus loved - there is however some (although limited) theological debate about whom this refers.
