In the cinema version of The Lord of the Rings, what form did the firework lit by Merry and Pippin take?

isn't that question pretty much the definition of specialized knowledge? the question is not about the plot or main characters. it's about the specific visuals of a particular movie scene.

What purpose did Malamutes have in World War 2?
Gaurd Dogs
Search & Rescue <---
*2 other choices*

Guard is spelled wrong and the question is ambiguous. All the breed history sites say, "During World War II, Malamutes were inducted into the army for the purpose of guarding installations in their native Alaska." Trying to find more info, I come across wikipedia (hardly reliable) lists, "...in World War II primarily as search and rescue dogs in Greenland, although also used as freighting and packing dogs in Europe"

"Gastroesophageal reflux is more commonly known as what?

Heartburn
Diarrhea
Cramping
Strep throat"

Gastroesophageal reflux is commonly known as ACID REFLUX
The supposed correct answer is Heartburn, but that is only commonly ASSOCIATED with the condition commonly known as ACID REFLUX

Idézet: etinixa - 2011.05.30. 16:24:58

Nobody says "I'm having acid reflux." They say "I'm having heartburn." Either way, the technical term for what they are having is GER. Hence, GER is more commonly known as heartburn. If acid reflux were listed as a wrong choice, you'd have a case.

which company introduced the first personal computer ?
IBM <---
Apple
commodore
*one other popular brand*

This question has no easy answer, but ignores a lot of computer history.
Sphere 1 (1975) has been called the first true Personal Computer by Byte (magazine) in its commemoration issues (every 5 years). Before that, the personal computers were marketed and sold as an electronic kit. Another contender for the title, according to the Computer History Museum, is the Kenbak-1 (first sold in 1971). The Xerox Alto (1973) was the first to use a mouse, the desktop metaphor, and a GUI. There was a Micral in 1973 that, if memory serves, was the first commercial non-assembly computer. IBM would be one of the last in a long list of personal computer milestones.
