In which mountain is the world's highest peak?
Himalayas
Andes

Kilimanjaro

Missing the word 'range' in the question.

I know what a rapier is! If I hit you with a rapier, I defy you not to say you have been cut by it! If, for instance, I ran the tip of the rapier across your skin, it would inflict a cut, regardless of it's intended purpose.

Which weapon is inflicting cut injuries?
Shovel
Rapier
Hammer
Sword

Given that a Rapier is a type of sword, it too can cause cut injuries. Therefore, there are two possible answers here. Please change!



Which city made Monopoly famous?

How is the answer 'London' correct and yet 'Atlantic City' is incorrect? May we know the basis for this strange decision? I can find nothign to suggest that London made the game more popular anywhere except in UK.




Who is a Hibernian?
A person who stays indoors in cold weather
A resident of northern Russia
An inhabitant of Ireland
A Turkish soldier

Although Hibernia is the old Roman name for Ireland, any of these could be Hibernian as there is a Soccer team of that name and they could be players, ex-players or supporters!

What is the Worlds Deadliest Snake?
Blue Krait
Australian Brown Snake
Inland Taipan
Mohave Rattlesnake

This is a matter of opinion only! Some sites give the Inland Taipan as the answer while others say Black Mamba and others also not mentioned here!

A very well-known myth!

I get madder every time I get asked this stupid, incorrect, nonsensical question.

One dog year equals how many human years?
7
6
8
5

ONE DOG YEAR EQUALS NO MORE OR LESS THAN ONE HUMAN YEAR. Prove otherwise by showing me a dog calendar, created and printed by dogs!

"Popular myth" - popular myth suggests that "one dog year equals seven human years" or the like. This is inaccurate on two scores, since the first year or two years represent some 18–25 years, and the ratio varies with size and breed. - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aging_in_dogs

"No more multiplying by 7 to learn your dog's age in people years. The DogAge Test measures your dog's biological age based on health, breed, risk of disease, and behavior. Start the test now! " - http://www.dogage.com/

"It is a common belief that 1 human year is equal to 7 dog years. That is not very accurate, since dogs reach adulthood within the first couple of years. The formula used above is from a canine expert and is a bit more accurate. (as accurate as one can judge these things)" - http://www.onlineconversion.com/dogyears.htm

http://www.pedigree.com/02All-Things-Dog/Dog-Age-Calculator/Default.aspx Try getting dog age multiplied by 7 there!

"When it comes to working out how old a dog is in human years, most of us approximate by multiplying ‘dog years’ by seven. But this is deceiving. The actual age of a dog in human terms depends on breed and size. " - http://www.purina.co.uk/Home/All+About+Dogs/Living+Together+Dog/ Get+More+Out+Of+Life+Dog/Your+Dogs+Age+In+Human+Years.htm

"A popular old wives' tale claims that one year of a dog's life is equal to seven human years. This has been proven to be false." - http://www.dogbreedinfo.com/age.htm

Is it possible, just possible, that someone who might be able to do something about this actually reads these posts? If so, please tell me why you keep this question in? Surely there is enough material given here to show that this is a BAD, INCORRECT question?

Please do me the favour of telling me when this question has been permanently removed from the database. Thank you.

Proving that 31.17% of Doomlord users are illiterate.

I am sorry to say that all this proves is that 31.17% of users don't know this saying.

Actually it also proves that YOU are illiterate!

As we abseil through their neighbourhood, we see neither a counterfeit foreign heir nor a sovereign deity seizing the reins of a sleigh. When you apply science to this quote you will find deficiencies in many species!

A bit of nonsense to illustrate how wrong that saying is!

Where did cocoa beans originate from?
North America
South Africa
Peru
South America

Slightly odd to find Peru and South America as answers here as the correct answer is 'somewhere in South America' and, for all we know, it may have been where Peru is now.

1860s
1950s
1970s <---- given as correct

http://inventors.about.com/library/inventors/blbar_code.htm

Exactly! The question was asking about the 2000 Sydney Olympics and NOT the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Nice spot!

um...

where do you get the facts for this?

Everywhere I have looked they got 28 gold and a total of 58 (except one source which said 59!)

How many wise men gave presents to baby Jesus?
2
3
1
4

There is no mention of how many 'wise men' there were. The only record is the Bible which merely states that there 'wise men' who brought gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh. There may have been 5000 of tham and a stable full of gifts!

Insert the word 'traditionally' or some other qualifier please.

In what state can you find Motown?
Kentucky
Ohio
Michigan
New York

And also in Arizona!

what was the last American warship sunk in WW2 ?
USS Enterprise
USS Indianapolis
USS Shark
USS Hornet

The last Navy ship to be officially recorded as being sunk by enemy action in WW2 was the USS Bullhead (SS-332), on 6 August 1945, the day Hiroshima was attacked. A Balao-class submarine, the Bullhead was sunk by engagement from a Japanese Army aircraft, which dropped depth charges on the Bullhead, claiming 2 direct hits. The geographic area she was in when sunk is believed to have reduced her radar range, and thus prevented her from detecting the plane until it was too late.

Though the initial answer to this question mentioned the Indianapolis, that answer is incorrect. The Indianapolis was sunk by a Japanese submarine on 29 July 1945, over a week prior to the Bullhead.

Before anyone says anything to the contrary, a submarine IS a warship!

But, as you say, it is not the capital of Europe or the EU.

Maybe the answer should be 'sprouts'?

Is any attention paid to the posts here?

This TOTALLY INCORRECT question is still here:

2010: Brussels is the capital of?

Flanders
Europe
all 3
Belgium

Europe is a Continent and has no capital city. Likewise, no other continent has a capital city. Please remove this BAD, INCORRECT question.
