How much water does a ten-gallon hat hold? -2. Who wrote scripts for his own films under pseudonyms that included Otis T. Criblecoblis and Mahatma Kane Jeeves? -3. If seedless oranges don't have seeds, how are they propagated? -4. What role did Dutch-born Andreas Cornelius van Kuijk play in Elvis Presley's life? -5. In wine making, what is the must? -6. Why did the English call their gold coins guineas? -7. Columbus had three ships on his first exploration of America. How many were under his command on his second expedition? -8. For whom was the Mercedes automobile named? -9. Where did M*A*S*H army surgeon Hawkeye Pierce hail from? -10. What sport was originally known in England as "plank-gliding"?
The moon is actually more useful than the sun since the moon gives us light at night when it's dark. The sun only gives us light during the day when it's already bright out.
