Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Leonardo went out fishing one day and brought back a nice specimen for the Pope to eat on Friday. In fact it was so stunning an example of its kind that it was later stuffed and mounted on a wall in the Pope's chambers. It could even move its head and sing, as Leonardo was also quite an inventor. What did the locals call it?

Answer: The DaVinci Cod

The Pope found it quite amusing and had the cod's voicetrack enlarged so it could sing hymns and eventually recite the entire mass!
Apologies to Dan Brown.
Cod is a general name for several types of Atlantic and Pacific cold water whitefish. The fish is distinguished by a long chin barbel, three rounded dorsal and two anal fins. They also have a distinctive thin white stripe running the side of the fish from throat to tail. Atlantic Cod, which are classified as 'vulnerable' due to overfishing, usually weigh from eleven to twenty five pounds though much larger ones have been caught. Atlantic cod are able to change color at varying depths of sea water.
2. One of the Commonwealth states in the U.S., Massachusetts, has a large cape jutting out into the Atlantic. What's its name?

Answer: Cape Cod

It's Cape Cod! A beautiful place to visit, and a great tourist attraction for its sunning, fishing, and picturesque places to stay, including the typical "Cape Cod Cottage", a cozy and compact rectangular dwelling, oftimes with a small second floor, central chimney and steep gable roof.

The preferred places are on the water, of course! In New England, one always 'goes down' to the Cape, regardless of which direction one arrives from. Cape Canaveral, a.k.a. Cape Kennedy, is the NASA launching site on the coast in northern Florida. Cape Hatteras is off North Carolina, and Cape May is at the southernmost tip of New Jersey.
3. You want to cook your breakfast egg very carefully, so you put it in water and cook it slowly and gently on low to medium heat, just under boiling. What's your egg's adjective?

Answer: Coddled

When one is so gentle and careful with an egg it is called 'coddled'.
Candling is passing eggs, usually those sold as food, past a strong light which will allow one to see if there is any sign of fetus development. If so, that egg cannot go to market.
4. What is the term for the young of our featured fish, the cod?

Answer: Codling

Codling is the term for both a baby cod, a small hake {fish} and a small unripe apple. There is also a codling moth, whose larvae live in apples, pears and English walnuts.
In spawning grounds the northeast Atlantic cods lay eggs anytime between January and April at a depth of about six hundred feet where water temperatures are around 39 to 43 degrees F - 4 to 6 degrees C. - and the eggs hatch anywhere from 8 to 23 days later.
5. This drug, a derivative of morphine, is generally used as a pain killer and in cough medicines. However it does not have the strong addictive power of morphine itself. What is this ingredient?

Answer: Codeine

Codeine, used properly and following medical advice, is a very useful drug and rarely causes complications. The two 'Oxy' drugs are also pain killers, but have also become 'street drugs' where they are very expensive. A codon is a specific sequence of three consecutive nucleotides, part of one's genetic code.
6. Which word means a legal instrument to change or modify an existing will?

Answer: Codicil

Codicil - it's like a little string attached, perhaps an afterthought on the part of the testator. In other words, if you're in the will {or expect to be}, stay on good terms with the person who made it or you may find out too late that you were left out in the cold because you displeased the dearly deceased.
7. What in the fishy world is a codpiece?

Answer: Covering for the opening in a man's breeches

The codpiece was made variously of a flap of cloth, wood, armor, depending on what pursuit the man was following, primarily to protect his sensitive areas and to allow him to release same for the purpose of passing water. It became stylish and 'manly' to wear this ornament, and some were very ornate. Note that Alex and his 'Droogs' wore them in "A Clockwork Orange."
8. What is the meaning of 'mollycoddle'?

Answer: To pamper

To pamper, spoil, or cater to in an unhealthy way, as it tends to oversensitize the coddled. My Dad thought he was mollycoddling me when he insisted I swallow a spoonful of cod liver oil before going outside in the winter. I thought it was gross.
9. What word describes the concluding piece of music which is usually distinct from the main structure of the work?

Answer: coda

Many composers use codas to finish their works off with a bang, not a whimper.
However, it could also be a very serene coda following a loud and frightening work such as Moussorgsky's "Night on Bald Mountain."
10. What do we call the study of manuscripts as cultural artifacts?

Answer: Codicology

Codicology is right!
And with that I'll get back to my Codex - a manuscript form book, especially of Scriptures. Cod bless you for taking the quiz, and thanks to Kyle for putting it out there.
Out of the blue, Marlin Brando was quite the trendsetter as "The Codfather".
