10. Bactrian (and three humps sounds like overburdened and/or "grumpy"...) catrub

Google tells me that there is/was actually a Trinidad camel with three humps (not from Trinidad, however), and once a freak dromedary with four!

9. What unit is equal to 206,265 times the distance from the earth to the sun? think

I'd say a parsec. It's about calculating distances to nearby stars by measuring tiny angles.

That's what I was looking for, flotsam! grin

Interested in the trindal, SD - didn't realise three-humped camels actually existed....

11. Erebus was the Greek god of the void. The void itself was Chaos.

Re: Pub Quiz Night - 03/28/24 09:57 PM

I stand corrected, Lady K - my source claimed that Chaos was the god thanks
Posted By: LadyKestrel

Re: Pub Quiz Night - 03/29/24 05:24 PM

It is confusing. Evidently, Chaos was the primodial being who started it all, and Erebus was her son.
