Well, we don't have any games for a few weeks, so what the hey. I wasn't able to come up with categories and clues that lead to questions.
As always, no research and no politics.
1) Penne pasta was invented in 1865. Why do we know that?
2) Name a carnivore that’s actually herbivorous.
3) Stevie Wonder and Ray Manzarek both played the keyboard bass, but their instruments were very different in every way except they both had keyboards. Stevie played the ____ bass and Ray the ______ or ______-______ bass.
4) What was the generally accepted difference between beer and ale in the days of yore (say 200 years ago)?
5) In 2015 all of North America was estimated to release less greenhouse gases than a single wildfire where?
6) In Robert Heinlein’s “The Man Who Sold the Moon,” how did Delos Harriman in effect buy the moon?
7) J. S. Bach had been out of favor for close to a century before which romantic composer “discovered” him?
8) My daughter is participating in NaNoWriMo, this month, (November) pronounced nano rhyme-o. What the hell is that?
9) Fluorescent and LED light bulbs have kelvin ratings. A cool bulb might be rated at 5500 K and a warm bulb at 3500 K. What does the K refer to, and why does the cool bulb have a hotter temperature rating?
10) What does the souchong mean in lapsang souchong tea?
11) This person is a two-time Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Fame inductee as a founding member of Santana and Journey.
12) During the Moody Blues’ formative years, Ray Thomas was the flute player as well as one of the singer-singwriters. What was his principal instrument earlier on in the Moodies?
13) This is the only know venomous primate.
14) Nighthawks is the most famous painting by this American, who split his time between New York City and Cape Cod.
15) The lead character in Daphne du Maurier’s novel Rebecca is unusual for what reason?
16) This Rembrandt painting, The Militia of District II under the command of Captain Frans Banning Cocq, is better known by what shortened title?
17) In the traditional carol “The King” or “Please to see the King”, who or what is the King?
18) In a 1987 movie, what character says, “It's just that masks are terribly comfortable -- I think everyone will be wearing them in the future”? Genius.
19) The Spanish surname minero would be translated into English as the surname of what UConn great?
20) My house (in suburban Maryland) was hit by two sever storms about two years apart: a tornado and this type, loosely described as a tornado without rotation (wind in a straight line).
