Famine's Sunday Quiz: Round 2

[Duke]

You do know that what you call a "lift", we call an "elevator", right?

That means I have 6 right, minus 2 points for the incorrect Model T answer = 10 points.

How exactly did you answer? Because Elisha Otis did not invent the elevator. He invented the safety system that made passenger elevators a reliable and widespread device.

I knew it had to do with elevators, so like a dumbass I wrote it was the elevator...

I'm not sure what the safety system is in an elevator. I just guessed because I see the word "Otis" on a lot of elevators (and escalators).

Never mind, then.

Too bad the Supersaurus' size was based on extrapolation, and the "Bloop" only exists because of sound, whose size is also based on extrapolation, it may or may not be true. Plus, nearly every place says the Blue Whale is the largest, and the only animals who exceed 100ft in length are the extrapolated Supersaurus, the unproven Bloop, the Jellyfish and that worm thingy. I think the Blue Whale would be a better answer than the Supersaurus. The Bloop thing is rubbish, which may or may not exist.

Yes it would be. But not a better answer than the correct one to the question "Which is the longest animal".

I was beaten by a 12 year old; which makes me skeptical, anyhow.

You gave credit for the blue whale, as per your post. But not my PM.

But apparently Duke says the "elevator" doesn't count.

Yeah, I'm splitting hairs. Damn, life is strange.

No, I didn't give anyone credit for blue whale, because it's wrong. I've posted your answers and whether or not you got any points for them. I've posted the correct answers too.
