The Franc was a currency used by a number of countries including France, Luxembourg and Belgium before converting to the Euro. The Swiss Franc is still a valuable currency.

Answer: Field Spaniel

A descendant of the English Cocker Spaniel, the Field Spaniel is a working dog which has a gentle, affectionate personality. The Finnish Lapphund originated, as the name implies, in Lapland, the area on the Scandinavian Peninsula north of the arctic circle. Initially hunters, they changed with the Sami society and became herding dogs. A spitz breed, the thick weatherproof coat protects a small, intelligent, friendly dog which needs a moderate amount of exercise. The French Brittany Spaniel is a gun dog, normally black and white but may be tricoloured (white, liver and orange, or roaned in these colours). With an easy-going disposition and seemingly unlimited energy, this little guy makes a good companion and excellent bird dog. The Fauves de Bretagne is a medium-sized, reddish dog with a history going back to the Middle Ages. Also known as the Tawny Brittany Griffon, it was originally used to keep wolves from the sheep in Brittany.

Answer: flightless

The extinct dodo, the cassowary and rhea are all flightless birds. The dodo is the only one that is extinct (while the Lesser Rhea is extinct, the Common Rhea is not) and all three are classified in different orders and therefore different families (cassowary is in order Casuariiformes, rhea is in Rheiformes and dodo was in Columbiformes, closely related to the pigeon and dove). Therefore, the only similarity listed is that they are (or were) flightless.

Answer: Gentile da Fabriano

Gentile da Fabriano lived c. 1370-1427 in what is now Italy. According to www.ibiblio.org, "He carried out important commissions in several major Italian art centers and was recognized as one of the foremost artists of his day, but most of the work on which his great contemporary reputation was based has been destroyed. It included frescoes in the Doges' Palace in Venice (1408) and for St John Lateran in Rome (1427). In between he worked in Florence, Siena, and Orvieto." Fra Angelico, a Dominican friar, was born around 1400 and died in 1455. He started his career as a manuscript illustrator, became prior of S. Domenico in Fiesole in 1450, and worked in Rome, creating the frescoes in the private chapel of Pope Nicholas V at the Vatican. He was beatified in 1984. Jean Fouquet (or Foucquet) was born c1420 and died c1481. He was born in Tours, France, and became a premier painter of portraits for members of the French Court. A superb draughtsman, his paintings are exquisitely rich in detail. Fragonard was of a much later era, born in 1732 and dying in 1806, and was a proponent of the Rococo movement. An expert painter of landscapes, he is best known for his erotic (but very tasteful) paintings.

Answer: Flyer

On December 17, 1903 at Kittyhawk, North Carolina, Wilbur and Orville Wright made the first powered, controlled flight in an aircraft in their "Flyer". Since their pioneering flight, aviation has developed considerably, but interestingly, basic controls of aircraft are fairly much the same as those devised by the Wright brothers. The brothers continued to develop their ideas and by the end of 1905 they had made the world's first practical flying craft and were doing figure-eights and staying aloft for half an hour.

Answer: February

We owe this great month to Dr. Carter G. Woodson. He was born to parents who were former slaves. He worked hard though, taking grueling jobs so he could go to Harvard to get an MBA. He was saddened and disturbed by the fact that there were hardly any blacks in the history books, and in the few cases that were, they were shown in a very inferior light. So he established the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History (now the Association for the Study of Afro-American Life and History) in 1915, and one year later he founded the broadly respected "Journal of Negro History". In 1926, Woodson launched Negro History Week "to bring national attention to the contributions of black people throughout American history", and Black History month has been held ever since.
