| 1) Champagne refers to sparkling wine (which was English) from Champagne in French. So yes, it was French. 2)There are actually more senses than 9 http://www.todayifoundout.com/index.php/2010/07/humans-have-a-lot-more-than-five-senses/. its really hard to put a number to our senses since what we would call a sense keeps changing. For example, itchiness was thought to be a part of the touch sense, but is now classifies as its own sense. 3)big +1 to mipper. Since this a quiz of technicality, you have to accept that humans are African mammals. 4) when you say 'American', people naturally assume you mean the U.S, and Washington was the first president. That one's not wrong, just confusing 5) the Burj Khalifa is actually the tallest structure. It has 300 square km of floor space.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burj_Khalifa#Current_records. If you measure volume, you've got a decent sized country (my improvised equation or floorspace/floors x height gives 121,7123 km cubed. If you flatten it, you get an area approximately the size of Colombia, making it the 26th largest country in the world). 6) the first animal in space was the Human. 7) a quick Wiki search reveals the reindeer to have been domesticated just 6,000 years ago. Even if you use the figure you have, though, canines have been domesticated for much more than that. There have been 15,000 old dog+man joint graves, and it is likely they were domesticated earlier than that. Also, dogs genetically split from wolves about 100,000 years ago, and it is generally accepted that humans had a huge role in that. |
