Saturday 20: General Quiz Set

Hello everyone. Hope you are having an awesome day! Here's today's dose of trivia for you.

Q1.This is a DC Comics supervillain who is the enemy of Green Arrow and Batman. Kevin Smith, the creator named him that just because of his love for that word.
You must have heard his name in your English classes as process of creating a word that phonetically imitates, resembles, or suggests the sound that it describes. 

Name him.






Onomatopoeia does have quite an interesting ring to it...

Q2. During the Gallic War (58-50 BC), Caesar's men did not mutiny once, but during the Civil Wars (49–45 BC) they started to become less dependable, and when they started to make insubordinate demands, Caesar faced them boldly, and always brought them to heel again. At one time when Caesar’s Tenth Legion was at Rome, they threatening to revolt if they didn’t get paid, or released from service. But there was no money to pay them and the nation was in the middle of war. Caesar defied the advice of his friends and took it upon himself to confront the mutineers in person.

Though the African war (around 47 BC) was still being hotly fought, he had made up his mind that he would have disbanded them shamefully, like he did the Ninth Legion, but what he did was address them with a single word, without needing to go any further.

The one word hurt the sentiments of the soldiers, and they fell quite immediately, and the 30,000 all fell quiet and Caesar readily regained their affections. What was the one word that Caesar had uttered, which when addressed to any common group of people in the city, would not hurt sentiments?




"Citizens"
A shout went up: ‘We are your soldiers, Caesar, not civilians!’ and they clamoured to serve under him in Africa: a demand which he nevertheless disdained to grant.

He showed his contempt for the more disaffected soldiers by withholding a third part of the prize money and land which had been set aside for them.



Q3. One of the alternate names for a Proboscis monkey, a species of monkey that is endemic to the island of Borneo in the south-eastern Asia, originates from the first half of the 19th century, when the locals found physical resemblance of the animal to something quite ubiquitous to the area at the time.

What did the locals call the Proboscis monkey?

The photo might give you quite a good idea!







Dutchman or Dutch Monkey
Indonesians remarked that the Dutch colonisers often had similarly large bellies and noses. That's hilarious 😂


Q4. Which drink is so called because its flavor is so strong that it is served by the half-glass?
It is usually enjoyed with biscuits or Khari biscuits, bun maska, bhajiya pav or vada pav and you would find tea vendors at every nukkad in the city. It's an absolute fan favourite and 💗 for many....









Q5. Arthur Sasse wanted to get X smiling on his birthday. X was tired, and so, in order toget rid of the  photographer, X did something which Sasse took a picture of. On June 19, 2009, the photograph was auctioned at a record $74,324, the most for any picture of X. Id X and what he did?






Awesome meme material isn't it ??
