Sorry for the delay, folks - PC problems. Have stuck an industrial-strength sticking plaster over and am sitting here with crossed fingers
-1. What was the name of the Munsters' pet dragon?
2. Alba white, Black autumn and Perigord are all examples of what ?
-3. In which city does the longest street in the world start?
-4. Lemurs are found almost entirely on which isolated island ?
-5. What word means a beautiful princess, a revolutionary ship and a Roman goddess?
6. Which two Olympic gold winners in swimming were successful in Hollywood films in the 1930s?
-7. Who did Muhammad Ali fight in "the rumble in the jungle''?
-8. H5N1 is better known as what?
-9. A window cleaner is cleaning the windows on the 25th floor of a skyscraper, when he slips and falls. He is not wearing a safety harness and nothing slows his fall, yet he suffered no injuries. Explain.
-10. Brunelleschi is credited with which technique in the world of art?
-11. In 1953, Stalin died. Who ultimately succeeded him as the leader of the Soviet Union?
-12. Where did the lhasa apso breed of dog come from?
To waste one second of one's life is a betrayal of one's self.

Sometimes lost is where you need to be. Just because you don't know your direction doesn't mean you don't have one.

10. He helped develop perspective in painting as well as raising the cathedral dome in Florence.
I recommend Brunelleschi's Dome: How a Renaissance Genius Reinvented Architecture by Ross King. It's a well-told history of the man's life and times.
