(clue: The Cyrillic script points to a culture that was under Russian domination for an extended period, while the north-to-south calligraphic script is suggestive of Asia.)<br />6. Mercury. (The conceptual hurdle for this one is that all the other metals, as the temperatures we live in, are "frozen." Dude.)<br />7. Macedonia. Which, they do print the name on the stamp, but in a Cyrillic script, which makes it a little trickier.<br />8. Modest Mussorgsky<br />9. "Memento." I'm kind of curious why Morgan thinks this particular film would be universally known.<br />10. Middlemarch. "Mride and Mrejudice" is the one about Melizabeth Mennet.<br /><br />Everyone is a winner, of course.</b>Michael5000https://www.blogger.com/profile/10148584819327475239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10779294.post-60018092564251135132014-11-25T09:17:33.577-08:002014-11-25T09:17:33.577-08:00I'd like to think that anyone who didn't a...I'd like to think that anyone who didn't answer #9 correctly is just roleplaying.Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01475862386179357634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10779294.post-90028550844777479682014-11-25T03:21:44.262-08:002014-11-25T03:21:44.262-08:001.

(that was really my first exclamation [though only in my head] when I saw the post on Facebook)<br /><br />Another opportunity to show off my general ignorance - and due to my time zone, I can do it several hours ahead of everyone else. Yay! (no, really, I love these quizzes)<br /><br />1. He is probably Monet.<br />2. Emperor Constantine?<br />3. West Virginia?<br />4. Macbeth, I think.<br />5. Turkic. What the hell.<br />6. I just want to keep repeating "elemental metal" because it sounds so cool, but if we're talking freezing points I will say mercury, because I can't think of another one that's liquid and therefore freezable.<br />7. The Former Republic of Macedonia, or whatever that's called?<br />8. Mussorgsky! I know that one for sure!<br />9. Absolutely no idea. No, wait. I'm going to say that Peter Greenaway film that I think was called "The Pillow Book" because that involved people writing on each other. Even if it's not the right answer, I highly recommend the film.<br />10. Okay, NOW I have absolutely no idea. Not even the tiniest smidgen of a clue. So I will say something completely random and answer "The English Patient."<br /><br />Yay quizzes! Yay!<br /><br />(is 4 yays enough?)Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12772824060632731065noreply@blogger.com
