Duke87's Random Trivia

[Duke87 1,070]

Only I will post questions. Later I will post the answers. No score will be kept, this is just for fun. I will usually always ask several questions at once, but you don't need to answer all of them. Instead of the usual two post rule, you may only post once per set of questions. If you want to add something or correct something, just edit the post you made. Please avoid editing your posts, it messes with the scorekeeping. Other than that, the questions may be about absolutely anything, from the insanely common the insanely obscure.

Question Set #1:

1) What US State borders the most Canadian Provinces?

2) What is the secret ingredient in Coca-Cola known as?

3) What was the first album ever to have a Parental Advisory label?

4) What is the difference between a corpse and a carcass?

5) Where was the world's first Motel?

6) Who invented the Laser and in what year?

7) The world's largest man-made object is the Great Wall of China. What's the second largest?

What is the most common major from american coleges and universiteis? What's the second most common?

9) Where are Herr's potato chips made?

10) What substance has the lowest boiling point (at 1 atm)?

11) Who said "Check the map, Goof!" and in what movie?

13) What item found in a school classroom is made of the same stuff as a snail shell?

These are good questions; some of them are so strange, I'd be suprised if anyone had the answer.

3. If I was to go with my gut, I would say Purple Rain by Prince (as that is the record that Tipper Gore was angry at in the first place)

6. Arthur L. Schawlow and Charles H. Townes in 1958

sloppet is right about #7. cityhawk is right about #8.

It doesn't look like anyone is getting #3, so I'll just give you the answer and move on:

The first album ever to have a parental advisory label is Guns 'n' roses- Apetite For Destruction. They created the label not out of any sort of responsibility but basically as an advertisement. "Ooh- look, this album has a lot of swears on it! Wow!" Many immature teenagers today buy albums with the label for just that reason.

Anyway,
