3. Geography: Beagle Bay is a community founded by Trappist Monks in what island nation?

Answer: Australia

Beagle Bay, an Aboriginal community located in Western Australia, was founded in 1890. It was a haven for children separated or stolen from their native homes. The community has been run by the heirs of those original children, with the local school and church (with its hand-made mother-of-pearl shell altar) being run by the Trappist Monks.

4. Humanities: The origin of the word "beagle" is not definitive. Which of the following characteristics of the beagle is suspected to have lead to an influence on its etymology?

Answer: The dog's distinctive bay

The French terms "be'geule" (meaning "gape throat") and "beugler" (meaning "to bellow") both suggest that the dog's distinctive bay while hunting has lead to its name today. A second thought is that the beagle's name might have come from is its size. The Celtic "beag," the Old English "begele" and the French "beigh" all suggest that "beagle" could be based from a word that means "small."

7. Religion: Each year, beagles (as well as other animals) are welcomed in churches all over the world for an annual blessing. Who is the person that these blessings commemorate?

Answer: St. Francis of Assisi

St. Francis believed in a brotherhood of all of God's creatures. He was known to preach directly to animals, and they would not move until St. Francis told them he was finished. His feast day is October 4, and many churches open their doors for parishioners to bring their pets and livestock for an annual blessing.

Answer: Mars

The Beagle Crater is about 115 feet (35 meters) wide and has a depth of between three to six feet (one to two meters). The Mars rover, Opportunity, explored it. Martian craters are interesting in the way that they are named. Small ones, such as Beagle, are named after towns on Earth. Ones that span for miles are named for scientists and science fiction authors.
