The word chihuahua means "fearsome lizard dog" in the Aztec language.
-
Fact
-
Crap
Correct Answer
A. CrapExplanation
The word "Chihuahua" does not mean "fearsome lizard dog" in the Aztec language. The name "Chihuahua" is believed to come from the Nahuatl language, which was spoken by the Aztecs and other indigenous peoples of Mexico. While the exact origin of the word is not entirely clear, it is thought to be derived from the Nahuatl words "chichi" (meaning "dog") and "hua" (meaning "place" or "river"). So, "Chihuahua" is often interpreted to mean "the place where the dog rivers meet" or "the place of the dog." It does not contain the term "fearsome lizard" in its meaning.Rate this question:

The word paparazzi means 'crazy fly.'
-
Fact
-
Crap
Correct Answer
A. CrapExplanation
The word "paparazzi" does not mean "crazy fly." It is derived from the Italian word "paparazzo," which Federico Fellini, the famous Italian film director, used in his 1960 film "La Dolce Vita" to name a character who was a news photographer. The character's name, Paparazzo, was inspired by an Italian dialect word that describes a buzzing mosquito, suggesting the annoying and persistent nature of photographers who follow celebrities. Over time, "paparazzi" became the term used to refer to such photographers, especially those who aggressively pursue celebrities for photographs.Rate this question:

The glue on Israeli postage stamps is certified Kosher.
-
Fact
-
Crap
Correct Answer
A. FactExplanation
The glue on Israeli postage stamps is indeed certified Kosher. This decision takes into account the dietary restrictions observed by some Jewish people who follow kosher dietary laws. By certifying the glue on postage stamps as kosher, it ensures that even the act of licking stamps to affix them to envelopes remains in compliance with Jewish dietary laws, reflecting the cultural and religious considerations of the country. This is an example of how religious practices can influence seemingly secular aspects of daily life.Rate this question:

NASA beamed the Beatles' song Across the Universe to Polaris.
-
Fact
-
Crap
Correct Answer
A. FactExplanation
In 2008, NASA indeed beamed the Beatles' song "Across the Universe" towards Polaris, also known as the North Star. This event marked the 50th anniversary of NASA's establishment and the 40th anniversary of the song's recording. The song was transmitted into deep space using NASA's Deep Space Network, with the intention of sending a message of peace and unity across the universe. It's worth noting that this transmission was largely symbolic, as the song's radio waves will take hundreds of years to reach Polaris and will likely be distorted by cosmic radiation and background noise by the time they arrive.Rate this question:

The Great Wall of China is visible from space.
-
Fact
-
Crap
Correct Answer
A. CrapExplanation
The claim that the Great Wall of China is visible from space is a popular misconception. While certain man-made structures like large cities or major dams can be seen from space, the Great Wall of China is not easily visible to the naked eye from low Earth orbit. This myth has been debunked by numerous astronauts, including China's first astronaut Yang Liwei. The Great Wall is a relatively narrow structure, measuring only a few meters wide, and it's made from materials that blend in with the surrounding landscape. This makes it challenging to discern from other natural features when viewed from space, especially without the assistance of magnification or specialized equipment.Rate this question:
