She noted the connection between pigs and garbage before using her ATA.

That connection had to be much more current in the 1930s than it is today.

A non-trivial trivia question.

The label "native land" is "fitting", as would be "home and native land". The two references I have put this descriptor on villages in Ontario. (the use of "native land" did make me look it up.....)

Commercial break.

Question 6 - Level 7. Top Tunes

Bank: $43,000

I might be tempted to ATA, although declamations such as "that's what I call" seem to be limited to a couple of forms of music, only one of which is on the list. I might be tempted also to buy a CD entitled, for example, "Now that's what I call minimalist opera", but I don't expect to see one.

Question 7 - Level 8. Medical School

Doctors often use "Go C3PO" to remember greenstick, open, complete, closed, comminuted, partial and other, the seven types of what?

A: Skin rashes
B: Muscle spasms
C: Bone fractures

She's thinking it's either muscle spasms or blood transfusion.

Surely you're not serious!!!
They don't teach at least some of this in elementary first aid for middle schoolers, and so on?>??????

Do you think the question writers were quoting O Canada when they named the category of the Niagara question? I doubt they put that much thought into the category names.

One of your earlier posts implies that this verse of the French version of O Canada is no longer accurate:
As is thy arm ready to wield the sword,
So also is it ready to carry the cross.
...
Thy valour steeped in faith!

(Most of what I know about Canada comes from the Bored.)

Do you think the question writers were quoting O Canada when they named the category of the Niagara question? I doubt they put that much thought into the category names.

I'm assigning the importance to the category name, for me, and I'm using the adjective "fitting" in a tongue-in-cheek fashion.

One of your earlier posts implies that this verse of the French version of O Canada is no longer accurate:
As is thy arm ready to wield the sword,
So also is it ready to carry the cross.
...
Thy valour steeped in faith!

If I implied those lyrics are inaccurate, I was choosing my words poorly. (what else is new?). Those are the lyrics. But, militant Catholicism as a laudable, idealized and unifying thread of (French) Canadian history is gone.
