See if there is interest for this.

1. Each day I will post 10 questions, at random times of the day.
2. Each Quiz runs exactly 24 hours.
3. The first person that has all 10 questions right, wins. Or if no one has all questions right, the best one wins.
4. You can only post answers ONCE for the same quiz.
5. No cash involved. Just glory. :)

*smile* You guys are all giving it a great try! So far Lucian is in the lead with 7 correct answers. As for the bonus, I'm actually looking for a much simpler answer *grin*

Is it as simple as "tropical" or that it grows on a plant instead of a tree.

Then I'll go with that and Lucian's answers.

Ok, looks like that's all that are going to try. Good Job, All!

1. Leo Hirshfield used the nickname for his daughter - "Tootsie," to name the chocolate chew candy.
2. Giant Sequoia or California Redwood
3. Mercury
4. Europe
5. For the World Fair in 1889
6. The beans are passed through a 'gourmet marsupial's' digestive system and picked out of the excrement to be cleaned and sold at $100 per pound. The variety is called "Kopi Luwak"- As Lucian said, ugh! And although marsupials are not actually monkeys I will give the point.
7. 7-9 days. The length of time it takes them to starve to death
8. People you have your smiles upside down!!! It takes only 17 muscles to smile and 43 to frown. *grin*
9. Dragonfly Yup! This pretty little hovercraft can zip along faster than any other insect.
10. The banana. In fact the banana tree is not a tree. It is a plant and is believed to have been the or one of the first fruiting plants.

BONUS: Pineapples are classified as a berry. *grin*

Since jstkdn used Lucian's answers she and Lucian tie for first with 7 points.

LOL SS! thankfully I'm a non-religious herbalist with a somewhat 'off kilter' sense of humor. *grin*

*grin* And for those that find it hard to believe that the world's most expensive coffee is a by-product of a civet's digestive processes, here's a link to a humorous little article about it:

Okay, here's one...

A VERY "GREEN" QUIZ
1. In Kentucky, the grass is so green, it is known to appear to be which color?
2. Which of character sang the words "It's Not Easy Being Green?"
3. What is a "Green Room"?
4. Which emotion is commonly associated with the color green?
5. Which of the 'Teletubbies' was green?
6. In 2000, which presidential candidate ran as the Green candidate?
7. In commercials for M&M candies, how is the character that represents the green M&M different from the others?
8. What does a 'greenhorn' refer to?
9. Though usually green, cabbage also comes in what other color?
10. What popular rock band has the word "Green" in its name?

BONUS: Name two songs that include the word "Green" in their titles.

These questions are considered to be easy, although let's see how everyone fairs...
