23. Who first planted the seed of the idea that the universe isn't static, but that it's constantly expanding?
24. Did witch hunting in Europe's Middle Ages have any kind of bearing on the expansion of the bubonic plague, or Black Death?
25. The first people to North America were, who?
26. How does the Catholic Church feel about Darwin?
27. Who was the first female Serial Killer?
28. Prior to actually having real power in Germany, Hitler led a group of Stormtroopers in a failed attempt to overthrow the existing government. What occurance, from that day, gave incredible power--and mystical strength--to the growing Nazi party?
29. Could Canada ever suddenly break out with a Civil War? Why or why not?
30. What global event, which hasn't yet occurred (but is slated to within the next 10 years), has been, apparently, predicted by both ancient Mayans and the Bible Code?
Now, let's see if I again conjured overly-easy questions...

Phoenix Well Done! What about "VALSALVA MANEUVER " If you had pornography lessons I don't believe you haven't heard about it but it is quite possible that you might know it under the different label  I still wait for your answers Quorth Ah yes, I know all about the Valsalva Maneuver. It drops your heart rate as you attempt to exhale with your mouth and nose closed. Most people know it as the cause of that light-headed feeling when you take a poop. Also why really old people w/heart problems need to take stool softner cause you can die on the crapper pretty easily if you are straining. Never saw anyone die from it in my hospital days but knew a lot of nurses who had horror stories. NOW, to tie it in to sex - I've HEARD that it can prevent premmature ejaculation. Not sure if that is a proven fact or anything. Now is the same thing you're talking about? Yes, Yes, Yes. VERY WELL PHOENIX. Not only is your answer complete (bowel straining & premature ejaculation) but also very enjoyable indeed. I do love your smart answers which are always loaded with best humour  and personal experience. To add a bit this technique is quite an old one and was named for Antonio Maria Valsalva, a renowned Italian anatomist, pathologist, physician, and surgeon (1666-1723) who first described the maneuver. |

Huhhhhhh *frustrated exhale* okay, I give. I had to look this stuff up: #21: Schindleria brevipinguis is the smallest fish in the world. .28 inches adult male, .33 inches adult female. Otherwise known as the "Stout Infantfish." Congrats Quorth. You've found my ignorance answering this question. I expected that you give me a Dwarf Goby but to my surprise it is now the second smallest species of fish (Trimmatom nanus). This species grows to 1 cm in length. Its printed name is longer than the adult fish.
It occurs on coral reefs of the Indo-West Pacific.
Until recently the Dwarf Goby was believed to be the smallest known fish species. In July 2004, the Dwarf Goby was usurped as the smallest fish by the Stout Infantfish. Congrats once more
22. I can't answer that one--all the searches I did came up with foreign-language sites I couldn't even read. Well, I'm sure I could "read" them, but understanding all of it would've been very trying. I'm really surprised that such famous fact are so hard to find out. 
OK. Color: Orange.
Russians used dioxins which were poured into the soup given to the Ukrainian presidential democratic candidate(Juszczenko). All links go to Putin who probably gave the order personally but we'll might never know it for sure. The pro-Moscow candidate was Janukowycz who was an obedient pet of Putin and he was given full official support. After that act of poisoning Juszczenko's face was completely altered and now he looks really monstrous. It was a miracle in itself that his life was saved after such a gigantic poison dose.
Here's a good link with more info:
www.absoluteastronomy.com/encyclopedia/o/or/orange_revolution.htm
Question 9 about tortures:
Previous victims of massive atrocities Jews in Israel allowed legally to question terrorist militants. A security force could exert enough pressure to find the important-for -the-security-of-the-state answers . Though there is no talk in it about tortures this allowance actually made tortures legal. Now this law is not in effect any longer.
Okay, next set, please! Phoenix got the other ones I didn't know! |

23. Who first planted the seed of the idea that the universe isn't static, but that it's constantly expanding? Edwin Hubble24. Did witch hunting in Europe's Middle Ages have any kind of bearing on the expansion of the bubonic plague, or Black Death?  Well, do you mean that they slaughtered the only existing then know-how (herbs and medicine) bearers so that there lacked the knowledge how to fight the disease?
25. The first people to North America were, who? They came from Asia and went through when the continents were joined by a land bridge located on Bearing sea26. How does the Catholic Church feel about Darwin? [Very uneasy. But they officially recognize it though don't say it too loud.
/i]
27. Who was the first female Serial Killer?
No idea you've got me.
28. Prior to actually having real power in Germany, Hitler led a group of Stormtroopers in a failed attempt to overthrow the existing government. What occurance, from that day, gave incredible power--and mystical strength--to the growing Nazi party?
29. Could Canada ever suddenly break out with a Civil War? Why or why not?
I don't think so. Of course you must mean the separatistic feelings among some members of the French speaking Quebec community
30. What global event, which hasn't yet occurred (but is slated to within the next 10 years), has been, apparently, predicted by both ancient Mayans and the Bible Code?
What do you mean? The global warming and the rise of Ocean level, the ozon hole???

Now, let's see if I again conjured overly-easy questions...#23. Right of course! The first to notice that other galaxies were moving away from us. 24. Part of this may or may not be simply theoretical. Think about witches "accomplises." 25. I should've known someone with a penchant for trick questions would catch one. Right you are (I thought this might throw you off to "Viking/Norsemen") 26. "Part of God's plan," so yes, they recognize evolution. 27. This one was a trick question, too. Eileen Wournos (subject of the Charlize Theron movie, Monster) is often hailed as the first female serial killer. In reality, female serial killers go back every bit as far as male serial killers. So the actual "first" one is really impossible to know. 28. Sir, you didn't even try! Hint: It was a "tragedy" that Hitler used in a very "Jesus Christ" sort of way. 29. Seperatists in Quebec is what I was looking for. A few years back (within the last 10, I believe) there was growing tension that Quebec may actually seperate and become an individual state. 30. Hint: It's supposed to happen in 2012 |

#23. Right of course! The first to notice that other galaxies were moving away from us. 24. Part of this may or may not be simply theoretical. Think about witches "accomplices." Does it have anything to do with Ergot of Rye?
I think you don't mean the simplest solution that is demand for scapegoats?
25. I should've known someone with a penchant for trick questions would catch one. Right you are (I thought this might throw you off to "Viking/Norsemen") 26.

So the actual "first" one is really impossible to know. Inadvertently then I've answered the question correctly ;D 28. Sir, you didn't even try! Hint: It was a "tragedy" that Hitler used in a very "Jesus Christ" sort of way. Sorry man I didn't do it on purpose 
My performance was sloppy indeed cause I had too little time to do it properly and I just lacked the time to enter any answer to this question. 29. Seperatists in Quebec is what I was looking for. A few years back (within the last 10, I believe) there was growing tension that Quebec may actually seperate and become an individual state. 30. Hint: It's supposed to happen in 2012 |

Okaaaaaaayyyy.... That global event that's supposedly been predicted by both ancient Mayans and the Bible Code is: The end of the world in 2012 (the Bible Code would seem to specify an asteroid or meteor).

24. Did witch hunting in Europe's Middle Ages have any kind of bearing on the expansion of the bubonic plague, or Black Death? You may claim you kicked my butts here or give me further hint It's up to you, Sir ;D28. Prior to actually having real power in Germany, Hitler led a group of Stormtroopers in a failed attempt to overthrow the existing government. What occurrence, from that day, gave incredible power--and mystical strength--to the growing Nazi party? I thought and thought and thought... and I am still nowwhere... you said the occurrence that happened that particular day of 1923 in Munich. So it can't be his Version of a Bible (Mein Kampf) which he wrote in prison he served afterwards  The only Jesus Christ event was that he threatened to commit suicide if his political opponents he took into hostage won't join him. But was that it |

I'll give you an answer for the last one bast I can:
Those women still have the ability to enjoy sex through intercourse, however, since most women orgasm through clitoral stimulation, those mutilated masses may never have one.

I'll give you an answer for the last one bast I can: Those women still have the ability to enjoy sex through intercourse, however, since most women orgasm through clitoral stimulation, those mutilated masses may never have one. Well done. The best answer that could be expected Some circumcised women still enjoy sex. This ritual removes the clitoris and makes it impossible for some, but not all women to reach orgasm. Many women go through life and never have an actual orgasm, but sex still feels good. Some women still enjoy the act of sex for both physical reasons and for being close to their partner. By saying this hey people don't think that I approve those things. If I were a woman I would choose without a slightest hesitation to stay intact with all organs. Anyway as you said Quorth they still are devoid of the vital organ and might feel crippled or are viewed as such from the Western culture point of view. But you might be surprised to learn that this practice is much more widespread than you think. Annually more than two million girls and women are subjected to that ritual. The United Nations estimate that annually more than two million girls between the age of four and ten are circumcised, sometimes it takes place even later, e.g. before marriage. Female circumcision, takes place in particular in Egypt and West Africa, but also in the rest of the African continent. World-wide there are about 140 million women and girls who have already been genitally altered. It is also practiced in Germany, Great Britain and other EU countries. The victims are mainly immigrants; the women who carry out the operation are sometimes specifically flown into the country. It is also common in minority groups in some countries of the Middle East. Less frequently, it occurs among some immigrant communities in parts of Asia and the Pacific, North and Latin America. [glow=red,2,300]And now most shocking thing:[/glow] From the late 19th century until the 1950s, it and other more invasive procedures, including excision of the clitoris were practiced to control female sexuality, and were advocated in the[glow=red,2,300]United States [/glow] by groups like the Orificial Surgery Society until 1925. Doctors advocating or performing these procedures claimed that girls of all ages would otherwise engage in more masturbation and be "polluted" by the activity, which was referred to as "self-abuse".
Through the [glow=red,2,300]1950s[/glow], some doctors continued to advocate clitoridotomy for hygienic reasons or to reduce masturbation. For example, C.F. McDonald wrote in a 1958 paper titled Circumcision of the Female "If the male needs circumcision for cleanliness and hygiene, why not the female? I have operated on perhaps 40 patients who needed this attention." The author describes symptoms as "irritation, scratching, irritability, masturbation, frequency and urgency," and in adults, smegmaliths causing "dyspareunia and frigidity." The author then reported that a two-year old was no longer masturbating so frequently after the procedure. Of adult women, the author stated that "for the first time in their lives, sex ambition became normally satisfied." In the U.S., the last documented clitoridotomy to reduce sexual activity occurred in [glow=red,2,300]1958[/glow]. The procedure was performed on a 5-year-old girl reportedly to stop her from masturbating.
FGC (Female genital circumcision) is a social custom, not a religious practice. However, in those Muslim countries where it is practice, FGC is often justified by two controversial sayings of the Prophet Mohamed that seem to favor sunna circumcision. The authenticity of these sayings are unconfirmed, and some scholars have refuted them. Even if true, they only permit the practice; they do not mandate it. Opponents of these practices use the term female genital mutilation (FGM). |

For 35--are you referring to the defensive "wall" that the French built post WWI to defend against another German invasion? Which failed because the Germans simply went around the whole thing and invaded through another country? Luxembourg, was it? Not a shot was fired from that defensive fortifacation.

and personal experience. 
Well, do you mean that they slaughtered the only existing then know-how (herbs and medicine) bearers so that there lacked the knowledge how to fight the disease?
