Answer: volcanoes

Some tender leftover morsels! Dry meatloaf:

The Kamchatka Peninsula on the Pacific Ocean looms high north above Japan and is near the Bering Sea. Much of the Russian submarine fleet is located here and the area is dominated by the military. The tourism industry is growing, though, and this is due, in part, to its wildlife and natural beauty. The volcanoes of Kamchatka were added to the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1996. Nineteen active volcanoes are on the list (there are about thirty active on the peninsula and around 160 volcanoes all together).

Answer: Winston Churchill

Some tender leftover morsels! Spoiled wine:

The hidden bunker was built to house Winston Churchill's Cabinet War Room during World War II to protect it from the types of bombing raids that plagued London. The complex was only used twice during the war and has since rarely been used for much else.

Churchill apparently hated the place for this very reason.

Answer: False

Some tender leftover morsels! Cold bacon:

There are several different types of Swiss cheese, though in Western countries, Swiss cheese is a general term. Emmental is probably the most popular of the Swiss cheeses. Most companies, however, manufacture a processed version of Swiss cheese that is on a category of its own.

The eyes of the Swiss cheese are produced by carbon dioxide, as a result of bacterial waste. The bacteria are released into the cheeses and as their colonies grow within, they produce more and more carbon dioxide, which increases the size of the holes. Don't worry, the bacteria are long dead before they get to the kitchen table.

Answer: cornea

Refractive surgery helps improve an eye's ability to refract light. A laser or other object is used to reshape the cornea. Many of the operations consist of cutting through the cornea, creating a flap. Then the surgeon will have access to the tissue underneath, which they will remove with a laser.

LASIK is an acronym for Laser Assisted In-Situ Keratomileusis.

Answer: ankh
