Answer: a brand

Branding, that is to say placing an identifying mark upon, cattle is often identified with the American West and cattle drives of the late 19th century. Although other forms of identification such as ear tags and tattoos are now more common, the practice of branding is still in use today on all manner of livestock. Identifying specific products with trademarked names or logos is another form of branding, and the practice keeps the corporate world and the market-driven economy in business. The Coca-Cola and McDonald's brands, for instance, are known worldwide.

Answer: Trans-Alaska Pipeline

The project involved the laying of a 48 inch diameter pipeline from Prudhoe Bay, Alaska on the Arctic Ocean to the Gulf of Alaska at Valdez, Alaska, a distance of approximately 800 miles. In addition to crossing many rivers and streams, three mountain ranges had to be crossed. Due to the permafrost conditions in Alaska less than 50% of the pipeline is buried in the ground, the rest had to be installed on elevations above the ground. The estimated cost of the project was about $8 billion. Question by player lpro

From Quiz A Panoply of Trivia 2

Answer: Venus

Though Venera 1, a Soviet probe, successfully flew by Venus in 1961, all contact with the spacecraft was lost before it reached Venus, so it does not count that it explored another planet. Mariner 2, on the other hand, was an American spacecraft that was launched in August of 1962 and made its extra-planetary fly-by on December 14, 1962. When Mariner 1 failed because of a programming error (in fact, the 'bug' in the program was that a hyphen was omitted from the code), all hopes were pinned to Mariner 2. It was launched from Florida on an Atlas-Agena rocket and almost immediately experienced a failure when some wiring was loose and fortuitously corrected itself. As a result, the rocket was off-course and a course correction had to be made. After 110 days of flight, even with some problems, the probe reached Venus and sent back some data about Venus, including temperatures on the planet.

From Quiz Anything Goes Number Ten

Answer: A dove

Pope Fabian was born into a noble Roman family (birth date unknown) by the name of Flavius. His reign as Pope ended upon his death in the year 250. During his reign, which was mostly peaceful, he ended a schism between a top bishop and theologian that was threatening to divide the church, he established up to date record of church martyrs, and he sent out assorted missionaries to do the work of the church. Following the death of Pope Anterus, Fabian was visiting Rome for the new papal elections that were under way. He was not considered a possible candidate in any way, but while the names of the other candidates were being debated, the congregation witnessed a dove suddenly descending and landing upon Fabian's head. This similarity to the dove that descended upon the head of Jesus during his baptism was obviously too important to ignore, and Fabian was immediately chosen as the next head of the church. Alas though, towards the end of Fabian's life, the Roman rulers were growing tired of the troublesome Christians and their new faith, and ordered that everybody must offer offer up tokens of worship to the various Roman deities. Fabian refused to do so, and was tossed unceremoniously into prison, where he rather suspiciously died. His Feast Day is marked on the 20th of January each year - the date of his death. The significance of the dove's descent upon Fabian was wonderfully spiritual, but let's hope that's all it did on the future Pope's head.

From Quiz This Quiz is Like a Box of Chocolates....

Answer: Vietnam War

In the 1994 Robert Zemeckis-directed movie "Forrest Gump", starring Tom Hanks, our protagonist has an extremely interesting and influential life. The movie is extremely popular and a little over rated in my opinion as it weaves together events in the life of the main character with events that happened in real life. The use of editing to insert Forrest into actual historical footage is really well done as Forrest participates in events such as the Watergate scandal, the Vietnam War, and an interview with John Lennon.

From Quiz A Strange Bunch

Answer: iMac

The iMac saw many changes, not least the switch from the "Macintosh" name to the shorter "Mac" with which so many products are now associated.

The iMac was also the first Macintosh product to have USB drives and a CD-ROM drive replaced the floppy disk drive which until then had been standard. It was discontinued in 2003, following the release of the iMac G4 a year earlier.

Answer: The M.T.A.

The original version of "M.T.A." was written in 1949 by Jacqueline Steiner and Bess Lomax Hawes as a campaign song for a candidate for mayor of Boston.

From Quiz My Question is Not Original

Answer: Salem

The cat was called Salem and voiced by Nick Bakay - he even sang in a couple of episodes. Sabrina herself was played by Melissa Joan Hart. I have no idea why this seems to be so common a question but it seems to be one I come across almost every week. Of course, animals are always a good subject as are favorite childhood shows but I didn't think the show was that popular. There are also a lot of questions about Eddie the dog from "Frasier".

From Quiz A Very Hard Quiz

Answer: Craps

Craps is a casino game played with dice. A hard number is a number formed by a pair. For example, a pair of threes is a hard six, and a pair of fours is a hard eight. A 3-5 or a 2-6 would be an easy eight. There are four hard numbers you can bet on in the game of craps: 4,6,8, and 10. If you bet a number the hard way, you win if it comes up hard before a 7 or an easy version of the number is rolled. At most American casinos, the hard 4 and hard 10 pay off at odds of 7:1, and the hard 6 and 8 pay 9:1. The hard ways have a house edge of between 9% and 11%, which makes them a rather poor bet.
