From Quiz Get Ross to His Schloss

Your employer or "boss" is the person for whom you work, and from whom you collect your weekly wages as a teenager or adult.

Answer: Homework

Did you get that? Your home is a place where you spend most of your non-school hours, living with your parents or carers, and your brothers and sisters if you have any. Anything that requires a bit of effort to accomplish is work. Together this is homework, school work that you are given to do by your teachers away from school. It's great fun. You can do it at your own pace and learn new things along the way. Did you know that for many years in the United States, both teachers and parents frowned upon homework? That was because many children had family or farm chores to do around the home after school instead. In 1901, in one state there, they even passed a law banning homework altogether for primary school children! Now, now, no cheering. It was re-introduced during the 1950s because the authorities were worried that American children were falling behind Russian children in school achievement.

Answer: Blackboard

Were you tricked? I bet you weren't. Black is a very dark colour - and a long thin piece of wood is known as a board. A blackboard is that large piece of slate stuck up on the wall at the front of your classroom. Your teacher usually writes various notes upon this when teaching you anything. I don't know why they're called blackboards though, because, if you look at them closely, many of them are a dark green in colour as well. Don't you just hate it if your teacher's fingernails accidentally scratch the board and make that horrible sound? Here's a piece of history for you. Blackboards have been used in teaching since the 16th century, but only at that stage to write music notes upon. Over time they began to be used more and more for other teaching subjects as well.

Answer: A 'Pandaconda'

In the wild, the giant panda is found in several mountain ranges in central and western China, and is still classified as an endangered species. While the panda's diet consists of approximately 99% bamboo, it actually receives very little protein from the plant, so it must eat constantly to stay full, and limits its range of movement to conserve energy. The giant anaconda (or green anaconda), native to South America, is considered to be the largest species of snake in terms of weight and diameter, and can grow to a length of 20 feet (or possibly more) and weight of 550 pounds. A member of the boa family, the anaconda does not use venom to kill its prey (which can include animals as large as goats), but will crush its meal in its coils and swallow it whole.
