    How can a garbanzo bean be connected to the man who prosecuted Gaius Verres?

    Question #110648. Asked by serpa. (Nov 11 09 12:31 AM)

    		The man who prosecuted Gaius Verres was Marcus Tullius Cicero.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaius_Verres

    Garbanzo bean also known as chickpea has traces through the French chiche to Latin cicer. Cicer is where the Roman cognomen Cicero was taken.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chickpea

    So the connection would be Cicer.

    The best way to explain this quiz is to give an example. 'Out of Africa' + 'Sleepers'. The answer is: 'Kramer vs. Kramer'. Meryl Streep was in 'Out of Africa', and Dustin Hoffman was in 'Sleepers'. They were in 'Kramer vs. Kramer' together. Good luck!
