| The Answers to last night's Pop Quiz are. 1. Why is the small device protocol that connects your phone to other devices called ‘Bluetooth’? The Electronics Company Ericsson is based out of Denmark. King Harald Gormsson, a 10th-century Viking king of Denmark and Norway. He united warring Danish tribes and conquering parts of Norway. King Harald had a very distinguishing feature. One of his fdront teeth was Blue! The name was chosen for the Bluetooth wireless technology because it, like Harald, unites devices and industries. The Bluetooth logo also references Harald, using runes for his initials, "H" and "B". 2. It is customary that the audience stands at the beginning of the Hallelujah Chorus? Why? The tradition of audiences standing during the Hallelujah chorus of Handel's Messiah is widely believed to have originated in 1743, during the London premiere of the work, when King George II reportedly rose to his feet, and the audience followed suit. The audience had to rise because no one should remain seated when the King stands. 3. Is Peanut Butter a liquid? Explain why it is or isn’t a liquid. Yes, peanut butter is considered a liquid, even though it has a thick consistency. By scientific definition, liquids have no definite shape and take the shape of their container, and peanut butter fits this description. 4. In the movie ‘The Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy’, the super computer Deep Thought calculates the answer to the "Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything" to be 42. Why was the answer 42? Douglas Adams, the author of Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy said, "The answer to this is very simple. It was a joke. It had to be a number, an ordinary, smallish number, and I chose that one. Binary representations, base thirteen, Tibetan monks are all complete nonsense. I sat at my desk, stared into the garden and thought '42 will do' I typed it out. End of story. 5. What song has helped formulate your ideas about love? What's your answer? As you might know, this is a personal answer, so answers would vary greatly. Mine? Jackie DeShannon's What The World Needs Now Is Love. It might be a odd answer to some, but I've kept that song in mind since I first heard it. |
