MENEWSHA SUMMER CARNIVAL 2007 Trivia

I'm Sizzla, and I'll be your Trivia Master for the contest. Find a comfortable seat, and we'll get started. :D

I hope you've got your thinking caps on and/or are ready to do some research, because I've tried to make this as painfu--painless as possible! *cackles*
  • THE HOST - SIZZLA


Hello! I'm Sizzla, and I've been a proud Menewsha member since Feb. 28, 2007. Unfortunately, I missed the Valentine's event by mere days! T_T

Anyway, I spend most of my time on Menewsha in Breedable & Changing Pets, where I co-own the shop A Thousand Gardens. I also find myself posting in Menewsha Nation in my hangout thread, The Spittin' Spittoon's Midwest Saloon, as well as in Site Feedback, Art Shops, Community Discussion and the Exchange. I'm pretty much all over the site, so I probably know or have spoken to quite a few of you. Don't hesitate to PM me or poke me if you want to chat! :D

As for my event, I love doing research on interesting topics, so I thought doing the trivia event was a great idea. Dare, you're the man for giving me this opportunity! <3 I've come up with some pretty good categories for trivia, so I hope you all enjoy them as well.

If you have any questions, feel free to post them here in the thread, or PM me with them. I'll be more than happy to help with anything I can.

With that, let's get on with the rules and event set-up!

  • RULES O' THE GAME*
  • Follow the main event thread rules at all times. Check those rules here
  • Respect the Trivia Master and other players at all times. No taunting, making fun, etc.
  • Once a trivia question is posted, post your answer in the thread.
  • Please only post one answer per trivia question. Only your first posted answer will be accepted.
  • I am checking for edited posts. If you do not include all of the information in your first post, whoever answered first without editing will get the point, OR you can post the second part of the answer in a new post, but you may not edit.
  • SPELLING COUNTS! If you do not spell your answer correctly, it is not correct.
  • Have fun!

  • HOW IT WORKS
  • Each day, we will have two rounds of trivia consisting of 10 questions per round.
  • They will be on various subjects, and some questions may be easier than others. You may have to do some research to find the answers, which is totally acceptable. I do not consider searching the internet for answers as cheating.
  • I will post a question, and the first person to answer it correctly will get a point. The person with the most points at the end of the round will earn a prize from the list of prizes. Prizes are first come, first served.
  • I work all day, every day, so there may be days when both rounds occur in the evening (CST) so that I don't have to sneak on Mene at work to run the event. Still, there may be days that my boss doesn't care what I'm doing, so I may be able to run a morning and evening round on those days. Just be aware of this. I'll post times for the rounds at least an hour before they occur.
  • Round winners cannot participate after they win, but they are in competition for the overall winner prizes. On the last day of the event, all the individual round winners will compete in a surprise trivia contest for the grand prize. Since I have nothing planned for Saturday besides giving out the grand prize, I think this'll be fun. :D


*rules may be added at my discretion as the event proceeds

This looks exactly like something i'll be able to do. Learning how to use resources is a great skill. I blame my mom on teaching me that.

Now just contemplating if I should go to the library to research or not.

Looks like it's time to begin. The first round will consist of ten questions, and then I'll have a second round of another ten questions later tonight.

Good luck!


1. What is the origin of the word “animal” and what does it mean?

The origin of the word "Animal" is Latin and it means "vital breath" or "soul".

My databases are up and running. xD




Origin of the word Animal according to the Oxford English Dictionary:
ORIGIN Middle English : as a noun from Latin animal, based on Latin animalis ‘having breath,’ from anima ‘breath’ ; as an adjective via Old French, from Latin animalis.

a living organism that feeds on organic matter, typically having specialized sense organs and nervous system and able to respond rapidly to stimuli
