Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. The female 'Black Widow' spider after mating will sometimes eat her mate, or always eat her mate?

Answer: Sometimes

It is thought that the female always kills and eats the male, which sometimes she does, but not always. The male is weak after mating and dies soon after even if she doesn't get him. Also if she has recently fed before mating she will not eat the male either.

2. When are the 'dog days' of summer?

Answer: July 3 - Aug 11

The 'dog days' are associated with the period in which Sirius, the Dog Star, rises at the same time as the sun, now often thought to be from July 3 - Aug 11.

3. How will 'Superglue' stay fresh?

Answer: Store it in your refrigerator.

Someone told me this and I have found that if you keep it in the refrigerator it doesn't dry up.

4. If you are in the area of a rattlesnake it will come up and bite you.

Answer: False

A rattlesnake usually doesn't bite unless provoked (or accidentally stepped on).

5. By what other name is a 'Daddy-long-legs' spider called?

Answer: harvestman

I didn't know it was also called a havestman until I read it in a dictionary.

6. If someone says you're 'pie-eyed', you are,

Answer: Drunk

I used to hear my parents use this, and sure enough it's in the dictionary.

7. A 'rod' comes from which of these?

Answer: Linear Measure

There are 5 and one half yards in a rod and 40 rods in a furlong.

8. Is the English given name 'Darius' masculine or feminine?

Answer: masculine

Just something I saw under English given names in the back of a dictionary.

9. If planted around close to your house, which plant or plants will keep ants out?

Answer: Mint

For some reason ants do not like mint (to fresh smelling I guess). This is another fact I read somewhere and someone told me, and I found it worked for me.

10. When is it said to be the best time to cut your hair?

Answer: At midnight during a full moon.

It may be an old wives tale but they say you should cut your hair at midnight during a full moon to help growth.
