2. Well, the Canary Islands are in the Atlantic, for one

but your mileage may vary

5. Some of the answers are true. I know offhand that these are correct:

6) The Canary Islands in the Pacific are named after what animal? *Dogs
Yes, after the Latin word Canaris. And yes, they are in the Atlantic, not Pacific.

9) Where are Chinese gooseberries from? *New Zealand
At least the ones we buy here are. They're called Kiwi Fruit, though. (Also being grown in California now.)

10) What is the color of the black box in a commercial airplane? Orange.
Of course. that makes easier to find in the wreckage.

6. I thought "Canis" was latin for "dog"?

:shrug:

[Redstone]

7. One or ther other; I'll have to check. But either way, that's the source

of the islands'name.

Or was it the Portugese name for "dog?"

Something like that, anyway. I'm all confused now.

8. "Dog" in Portugese is...

"cão".

[Redstone]

10. OK, so it was Latin. One or the other of the words, your or mine.

This is what I get for being old-fashioned and relying on my memory instead of Google.

And my memory is, to say the least, not comprehensive.
